Eterna was first founded in 1856 in “Grenchen”, a well-known watch region, a municipality in Switzerland. Since early days, Eterna was famous in movement development. Hence, it has the capability to produce its own wristwatch. Eterna was the first to produce series of alarm wristwatch in 1914. This was seemed to be the forgotten alarm watch. The initial version was a like a pocket watch that being converted to wristwatch. It has small, soldered lugs and thick application of radium paint to the cathedral hands and Arabic numeral. To set the time, there was a pin mechanism just like the pocket watch where it need to be pressed down in order to set the time. The later series later get rid of the pin and come with more modern crown pull mechanism. Being a movement production company, Eterna had split off its movement production into a separate company in 1930 and named the company as “ETA”. As we all know that ETA has been the largest manufacture of Swiss watch movements and currently owned by the Swatch Group. Since ETA born, it has been producing wristwatch calibers not only for Eterna watch but also for other companies. ETA has been providing movements to many of small and big brands for decades. Eterna has increased its popularity in 1948 by producing the famous “KonTiki” series. It has been the most famous wristwatch model produced by Eterna since then. The “KonTiki” series was produced in order to commemorate the expedition of archaeologist and ethnologist Thor Heyerdhal in 1947 together with five other scientists crew that journey across the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands. It was later named as “Kon-Tiki Expedition”. Thor Heyerdhal was wearing Eterna wristwatches during the expedition. Since KonTiki was introduced, it has been the Eterna’s best known and selling watch and has been developing into many variants including chronographs, GMT, and the famous diver series, The Super KonTiki. The diver series of Super KonTiki has been the most famous model till today. Eterna has been producing myriad of watches ranging from classic to sport watch such as Chronograph, Diver, and GMT. Some of the them has the KonTiki notation on the dial and some are not. Diver watch has always become the best-selling series, especially with the launch of Super KonTiki in 1962. Eterna Super KonTiki vintage watches has been also becoming the highly sought model by watch collectors nowadays. Because Eterna was the movement manufacture, hence it able to experiment with different type of watch by using the movement from ETA. ETA has all the movement variants ranging from simple three hands movement to small seconds, GMT, and chronograph. The most famous ETA chronograph movement is Valjoux 7750. This is the iconic base Chronograph movement that further develop and combine into much more complicated movements such as perpetual calendar, split-seconds chronographs, etc. Of course, there are other 7750 series as well ranging from 7751-7753 with more add on features. Valjoux 7750 is the automatic chronograph movement. On the other hand, Valjoux 7760 is the manual-winding chronograph movement that produced by ETA as well. This movement had been used by many other watch brands in the past. Eterna was one of them. The Eterna watch that we have here is the underappreciated and rarest manual-winding chronograph every produced by Eterna in the past, the Eterna Chronograph Ref. 1500.41. IMHO, this watch has a very low production and extremely rare to seen one in the vintage watch market. Even, we could not find further information about this model on the internet. The pictures seen are very limited as well. Eterna Chronograph 1500.41 is a very unusual manual-chronograph movement. Equipped inside this watch is the rarely seen Valjoux 7765. Though it was basically the hand wound version of Valjoux 7750, but it was lack of one sub dial counter at 6:00, which is the hour counter. The missing of hour counter sub dial makes the dial appearance to be much more unique. Overall, it makes the dial looks cleaner and legible. Same as 7750, the date window is still located at 3:00. The example of Eterna Ref. 1500.41 that we have here have a very good condition. The dial is preserved very clean with a black matte color, No aging deterioration has been seen. It has the stainless-steel bezel with the embossed Tachymeter engraving on the bezel insert. The bezel is in silver color together with the Tachymeter engraving; hence it blends very well with the stainless-steel case. The case is mirror polished. However, the stainless-steel bracelet has brushed polishing. The mirror polished case match very well with the brushed bracelet. Hence, it makes the overall appearance to look much more elegant and sportier. It does not look too shiny. This way, this will reduce the fingerprint on the watch. Though it is the chronograph watch, however the case is much thinner compared to those Valjoux 7750 chronograph watch. That’s because the manual-wound chronograph caliber is thinner, resulting a thinner design case. Hence, the watch will sit much more comfortably on the wrist. As mentioned, Eterna 1500.41 is low production watch, thus to meet one in the vintage watch market is extremely difficult. Besides that, it was equipped with a unique and workhorse Valjoux 7765, which is rarely seen nowadays. For vintage watch collectors that would like to experience with manual wound chronograph and own an extremely rare vintage Eterna Chronograph, this was the good chance to grab. Nowadays, the price of Vintage Eterna watch has been increasing sharply including those KonTiki and Super KonTiki series vintage watch. Not to mention the rare Eterna Chronograph watch that we have here. WHY THIS WATCH & DETAILS The Eterna Ref. 1500.41 Manual Chronograph is one of rarely seen or mentioned model. IMHO, it might be due to the short production model or manual winding chronograph may not be popular in the past because Automatic Chronograph movement has already available in the market since 1969. Another reason could be this watch does not has ‘KonTiki” notation on the dial and all of us know that KonTiki has been the most famous series produced by Eterna even till nowadays. Those reasons above contribute to the reason why this reference is rarely seen in the vintage watch market nowadays. Eterna Ref. 1500-41 is equipped with very unusual Valjoux ETA 7765 movement. This movement is not as popular as its brother Valjoux 7750, which has been the most popular and robust automatic chronograph caliber produced by ETA. 7765 itself is the manual chronograph movement and it does not come with the hour counter at 6:00. Because of this, the dial will only have 2 sub register and one date window. This design is what make Eterna 1500.41 so unique as the dial face looks unique and unusual. Though it was a manual chronograph movement, but basically the base design was derived from the famous Valjoux 7750. Hence, it also inherits both the stable and robust design of chronograph movement of Valjoux 7750. The movement condition of the current example is preserved very well. The chronograph function is currently working fine. The other functions such as date changing, and time settings are in good working. Manual wind function is smooth as well. Valjoux 7765 is thinner in design compared to the its brother Valjoux 7750 that has automatic rotor, thus it will have thinner and flatter case. Eterna Ref.1500.41 comes with very clean black matte dial. IMHO, it was because of the lack of hour counter sub dial on 6:00. Beside that, there is not much printed notation and contain only Eterna logo and brand name. The dial has the luminous tritium hence there is “Swiss T 25” notation the dial. The hours markers are the sharp type that matches very well with the sharp pointed white swords hands. Each of the markers contain tritium luminous materials, which is the same with the hands. The current condition of the dial is very well preserved with no aging seen. The luminous has a slight turn into patina shade color that match perfectly with the luminous on hands. This example comes with the screw down case to ensure it has the proper waterproof function. The case condition is very good with small hairlines seen due to the usage in the past. The crown along with the chronograph crowns are tested working fine as well. For details of the case, you may refer to the high-quality pictures attached in our EBay portal. As for the bracelet, it comes with the original Eterna Ref. 1500.41 stainless steel bracelet. The bracelet is unique in design, which has some similarity with the famous Gerald Genta’s design bracelet on Royal Oak. However, it is not integrated bracelet on Eterna. The combination of the unique design bracelet and the watch case makes the overall look of the watch to become more elegant and sportier. However, it will still look good for both formal occasion due to the simple design dial and thinner flat case. The condition is of the bracelet is good with very less stretches. The bracelet size is able to accommodate up to 7.5 inch wrist size. Eterna Ref. 1500.41 was rarely seen in the market and even there is not much information could be seen on the internet, however vintage watch collectors are started to appreciate this timepiece due to the gaining popularity of vintage Eterna watches nowadays. Due to short production of this series, hence it is extremely rare to see another one available in the market. Hence, it will be worth grab for vintage watch collectors to add this timepiece in their collections.
