1940s Eberhard & Co. Pre-Extra Fort Chronograph In Rose Gold

Why This Watch Matters This vintage Eberhard chronograph offers a rare oversized rose-gold case with a hunter caseback that grants direct access to the movement.   The Full Story Eberhard & Co. is known for its distinctive Pre-Extra Fort chronographs with cases reaching 40mm, a considerable size for the time. These also featured the in-house caliber 16000 movement with its peculiar sliding locker instead of the usual bottom chronograph pusher. This rare function allows the wearer to make sure the chronograph wouldn't be activated or reset by mistake. Another thing that Eberhard proved skilled at was the balance of the dial magnified by a blued handset. All of these features make this a special vintage chronograph. Lastly, it is rare to find such a tool watch made with a case in full rose gold, bringing a dressy vibe to the mix.
