Eterna-Matic 1948 Chronometer – Ref. 8423.41 – Numbered Edition No.132 A beautifully understated and increasingly collectible Swiss chronometer from one of horology’s most historically important yet often overlooked manufactures. This Eterna-Matic 1948 Chronometer reference 8423.41 captures the elegance of classic late-1940s dress watches while combining it with modern Swiss reliability and refinement. The warm silver sunburst dial is complemented by applied rose-gold tone Arabic numerals and markers, dauphine hands, subtle lume accents, and a discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock, creating a timeless and highly wearable design. The watch is powered by a Swiss automatic chronometer-certified movement, visible through the sapphire display caseback, and carries the famous Eterna five-ball logo — a reference to the brand’s pioneering 1948 ball-bearing rotor system that helped shape the future of automatic watchmaking. This particular example is especially appealing as it is individually numbered “No. 132”, indicating a limited production piece.
