Eterna Galaxis – Gold and Eamel - Vintage Swiss Quartz – dark Blue Dial & Two-Tone Bezel –

Model Overview

Une Eterna Galaxis vintage distinctive, alliant l’héritage de l’horlogerie suisse classique au langage de design intégré audacieux de la fin des années 1980/début des années 1990. Cet élégant exemplaire de 29 mm présente un cadran bleu profond minimaliste, aiguilles dorées, affichage de la date et l’emblématique anneau Galaxis bleu et doré segmenté.

Le bracelet en acier inoxydable intégré confère à la montre un caractère plus raffiné de montre-bijou tout en restant incontestablement Eterna. À 29 mm, elle fonctionne particulièrement bien comme montre vintage mi-taille/ unisexe et est nettement moins courante que les collections grand public d’Eterna.

Dial & Case

The dial is deliberately minimalist, without conventional hour markers, giving the watch a clean and sophisticated appearance. The famous Eterna five-dot emblem and ETERNA signature are positioned at 12 o’clock, with “Swiss Made” at 6.

The most striking element is undoubtedly the bezel. Its polished gold-tone structure is divided by rich blue inserts that change noticeably according to the light, from dark navy to vivid cobalt blue.

Together with the integrated bracelet, this creates a very characteristic late-20th-century luxury aesthetic.

Bracelet & Clasp

The watch retains its original integrated Eterna stainless-steel bracelet, including the Eterna-signed folding clasp.

Importantly, the bracelet is full and complete, suitable for wrists up to approximately 20 cm, making this a particularly practical example for collectors.

Historical & Collector Context

Eterna is one of Switzerland’s historically important watch manufacturers. Its famous five-dot emblem refers to the five ball bearings used in the revolutionary Eterna-Matic rotor system, introduced in the late 1940s.

The Galaxis represents the more design-driven side of the manufacture. Instead of Eterna’s better-known tool-watch aesthetic, it combines integrated architecture, jewellery-inspired detailing and strong blue decorative elements.

Today, these unconventional vintage Eterna models are particularly interesting for collectors looking beyond the usual Swiss brands and references.

Condition Report

The watch is in good vintage condition, with normal signs of age and previous use. Surface scratches and wear are visible on the stainless-steel case, bracelet and caseback, consistent with a watch of this age. Please study the detailed photographs, which form an important part of the condition description.

The attractive blue dial presents well, and the blue/gold bezel remains particularly striking. The original integrated bracelet and signed Eterna clasp are present.

The caseback bears the period inscription - removable- cleaned.

The quartz movement is working at the time of listing. Service history is unknown. Water resistance has not been tested and is therefore not guaranteed.

Included

The sale includes the Eterna Galaxis watch with its original full-length integrated Eterna bracelet and the pictured Eterna International Warranty booklet/document.

Delivery

The watch will be carefully and securely packed for transport and sent by registered and insured shipping from the European Union.
