Eterna is a long-standing brand that is well-known in the watchmaking industry. They are responsible for discovering many of the technology upgrades that have become standard in watchmaking. Eterna watches are a natural fit in a timepiece collection.
Eterna watches stand out with their unique designs and superb Swiss quality. They also offer fantastic value for money.
The Eterna-Matic, the KonTiki, and the Eterna Museum Quartz are three of the company's most popular vintage watches. The 1948 Eterna-Matic model featured the ball-bearing mounted rotor that solved a problem the watchmaking industry was struggling to solve. It improved the automatic watch's accuracy by reducing friction between the internal parts. Launched in 1948, the KonTiki was designed to commemorate the archaeologist and ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl.
Other collections include Eternity and Heritage. They have automatic and quartz men's and women's watches in the Eternity collection. Many of these watches feature scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Heritage also has options for both genders and operate on automatic movement.
Most Eterna watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually Eterna’s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Eterna. winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder box and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
