Eterna 833

Eterna Cal. 833 was one of a family of bumper automatic watch movements produced from 1941 to 1944.

Overview

ETA was one of the three firms "chosen" to develop advanced automatic watch movements by Ebauches SA, thanks in part to their history with Eterna. The chief designer at ETA, Heinrich Stamm, had created many of the company's important watch movements, and was famous for the Eterna-Matic line of watches.

Cal. 833 was an early bumper automatic movement. It was replaced by the direct seconds Cal. 1158 family. Cal. 833 was based on the hand winding Cal. 905.
