Eterna-Matic Automatic – Ref. 440T – Swiss Vintage – Circa 1965

This elegant Swiss Eterna-Matic automatic watch is offered, manufactured around the mid-1960s, one of the most prestigious eras of Eterna’s watchmaking.

The piece preserves an attractive brushed-silver dial with applied indices and original hands, offering a clean, timeless design typical of classic Swiss watchmaking.

Inside it houses an in-house Eterna automatic movement, belonging to the renowned calibre family equipped with the historic five-ball-bearing rotor system (“Five Ball Bearings”), an innovation introduced by Eterna that revolutionized automatic watchmaking and remains the brand’s emblem.

The case retains its original lines and features a stainless steel back with a gold-plated mid-case, according to factory reference 440T.

The watch retains its original crown bearing the Eterna logo.
