Finally! I'm thrilled to see a Purist taking the plunge . . .
. . . on one of the few watches that have been on my wish-list for many years other than GS or G O. Why?
A manufacturer in the truest sense of the term.
A case that's utterly pleasing.
Fitting dimensions and proportions.
An austere dial of classic design.
Manual winding movement.
A technological innovation unseen elsewhere.
Sensible cost, and very like good value.
What's not to love?
I've tried to see one in the metal on at least two occasions, but foiled both times by circumstances. A Madison is near the top of my current wish list; it may never come to pass, but my admiration is deep nonetheless. If you can, please describe the feedback from manually winding the movement.
Cordially,

Glad to see this one
You don't see much talk of modern Eterna's, but I have to say that this one looks nice, especially the movement layout and design. Are those heat blued screws on the movement? Congratulations on this acquisition and thanks for sharing with us.
Not sure about the bluing process...
The screws might be heat-blued or chemically blued with bluing only thing I can say is that the slots of the screws are blue too, so there was no nickel coating anywhere on the screws at the time of bluing.

Winding the watch
Glad you like the watch. The reasons you described are pretty much in sync with my views on it. As for the winding, it feels quite smooth. I'd say it is comparable to the two manual wind Reversos that I have. It's not as smooth as my Rolex Prince (which i...
