Vintage Eterna Chronograph 5347 Two-Tone Dial for sale

Description ▲

This Eterna Chronograph Ref. 5347 dates back to the 1940s and stands out with its generously sized 38 mm case, which was notably large for its era. Particularly striking is the expressive two-tone dial, whose design immediately captures attention.

The bold Arabic numerals set against a deep black background are clearly inspired by military chronographs of the 1940s and early 1950s. The warm gilt printing creates a beautiful contrast and adds visual depth to the dial. A distinctive design feature is the inner grey circle, finely signed with the full name Eterna, lending the dial additional structure and character.

On the wrist, the watch offers an authentic vintage presence, further enhanced by its naturally developed patina.

An exceptionally rare 1940s chronograph with a truly beautiful dial design — equally suited for daily wear and as a highly desirable collector’s piece with genuine historical substance.
