SOLD - Eterna Matic “Stardust Blue” - 1970s · ETA 2824 · Chainmail Bracelet

This one is all about the dial. The original lacquer likely began life blue and has aged into a one-of-a-kind, stardust patina like nothing i've ever seen. Deep blue islands with warm gilt toning that radiates from center to edge. Applied baton markers, with tritium lume that has a yellow glow, a framed date at 3, and the five-ball Eterna logo keep the look clean and mid-century. Inside is the first-generation ETA 2824 automatic, a caliber notable for its two gold-tone train wheels. It’s paired with a chainmail (Milanese) bracelet that suits the case and sets off this magical dial. The watch is running and keeps good time.
