HOLY CRAP!

he case, in stainless steel, measures 44mm x 14mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200 meters.

Movement is the Swiss automatic ETA caliber 2824-2 with 25 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 38 hours.

I'll take one please!

That watch is perfect IMO!

I really like it except for the high polish part. Maybe they will offer it brushed.

I used to shy away from high polish, but after having the 112, I am a BIT more open to it.

Given my choice, I still prefer brushed as well...

I like the high polish on that watch, gives it a really dressy look.

Nice find, when are you picking one up?

I like the way the high polish looks new. Just not sure how it will look later on-kind of like some plating options. I like being able to touch up the cases myself if necessary.

I agree that high polished watches get "marked up" easily and then look crappy until either brushed or glossed up again.

I have a couple of high polished watches and hit them with a Cape Cod cloth after every couple of wearings, keeps them in nice condition easily.

I would like to see one all brushed though, including the mesh.

I got some Cape Cod cloths too...those things ROCK on the high polish!

A review of the watch found at this link. Also the info about the LE re-issue of 1,973 pieces (1973 was the year the original was released) at about $3300.

Thanks TIM!

Nice watch. Not $3300 nice, but nice.

I was wondering the price for it.
I agree Doc, very nice but to much

Nice strap

Looks an awful lot like the Zinex Trimix to me.
Trimix is taller and bead blasted.

Seriously. Nice mesh "strap". Other than the high polish it is fantastic. I like it a lot better than the Zimertex or whatever that brand is called.

I think I do too.

Oh hold on, the Zinex is cool too...

...dig the skull on the dial!

Jaw, you mean the Zinex looks like the Eterna? (since it is a re-issue from 1973)

Just say Nice Strap and be done with it

They both have nice mesh.

I'll have to save that comment for your next Rolex hater thread.

Just noting the similarity - no clue till now who came first.
Nothing new under the sun.

Oh I know, just funning, that's why there was a and as part of my post.
Good reply though. There really does seem to be nothing stunning happening with the looks of a watch. Either rehashing, slightly different case size, etc, etc.. At least a few have done things with new materials, and the movements.

This Eterna looks excellent !!! I think the polished
finish works nicely on the case, and seems to flow
right into the mesh bracelet. It's classy, but also
has an extremely cool sport-dive theme happening
imho. The yellow marker at the top of the bezel is
another nice touch. So are those unique hands, along
with the case-back ! The Zinex Jaw is showing has
the same feel, and is DEFINITELY a little meaner !
I honestly like them both ! ..Thanks !

Yowza, what nice watches. I never heard of those companies before, but I sure do like the designs! How much are they and where can I find more information?

Do a google on ETERNA WATCH, should come up...

Love that Eterna, wish they would make one in a 40mm size though

Did you see the new 40mm Zenith?

Like everything about this one except the $$$.
