Where else can you get an in-house movement for this price? The Eterna Vaughan Big Date is a sleeper piece that looks like simple dress watch from a distance, but upon closer inspection you get to enjoy a stunning sunburst display that passes the light from black to charcoal tones. On top of that eye candy is a handstack that follows the curved perimeter of the dial. At 3:00 is a double digit big date complication, a rarity on a watch sitting just 10mm tall on the wrist! This is seriously a watch for snobs on a budget. If you’re looking for more than a dressy timepiece, something with specs to back up your horological aptitude, than this is the watch for you. Nobody else will know what it is, but you will know the significance of this label’s place in watch history. The name that spawned ETA, the brand that invented the ball bearing rotor (the inspiration behind the brand’s logo design), now in a modern 42mm case with an in-house Eterna-Matic caliber 3030.
