1940s Eberhard & Co. Chronograph In Yellow Gold

Why This Watch Matters This Eberhard is not only an oversized chronograph, it comes in a rare yellow-gold case with hunter caseback that allows a direct view of the in-house caliber 16000. The Full Story Eberhard already produced oversized chronographs prior to the Extra-Fort, as evidenced by the 40mm case size of the present example. This is a considerable size for a piece produced in the 1940s, when watches were nearing 30mm in average. It is also highly unusual to find sporty chronographs made of 18k yellow gold and offering a sophisticated hunter caseback. The in-house caliber 16000 is another distinctive feature, as the seemingly usual pusher is actually a slider that allows the wearer to block the single pusher of the chronograph, and avoid an incorrect handling of this crucial complication.
