====== Eterna 1413 ====== [[Eterna]] **Cal. 1413** was one of a family of [[automatic]] watch movements produced from [[1953]] to [[1958]]. ===== 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. 1413 was the the successor to Eterna's first full-size [[ball bearing]] [[automatic]] movement, [[Eterna 1247|Cal. 1247]]. This five-ball design became the logo of the [[Eterna]] watch company. ===== Technical Details ===== Once the ball bearing rotor was proven, Eterna began working to make the movements thinner. This family is reduced in thickness from 5.9 mm to 5.55 mm for non-date versions and 5.85 mm for date. Most models have 17 jewels, though later versions have a 21 jewel option. All operate at 18,000 A/h and have 48 hours of power reserve. This movement family includes 11.5 [[ligne]], 12.5 ligne, 13 ligne, and 13.5 ligne variants. ===== Variants ===== Cal. 1413 one of a family of automatic movements. All movements use suffix "U" to signify Eterna-U shock protection. Suffix "D" denotes a new 3-spoke ring balance, new hairspring stud, and new hour wheel spring. * Eterna 1411 - 11.5 ligne, domed dial * Eterna 1421 - date * Eterna 1412 - 12.5 ligne, domed dial * Eterna 1422 - date * Eterna 1413 - 12.5 ligne, flat dial * Eterna 1423 - date * Eterna 1414 - 13 ligne, domed dial * Eterna 1424 - date * Eterna 1415 - 13 ligne, flat dial * Eterna 1425 - date * Eterna 1416 - 13.5 ligne, domed dial * Eterna 1426 - date ===== See Also ===== * [[Eterna-Matic]] * [[Eterna 1247]], the predecessor movement * [[Eterna 1438]], the successor movement {{tag>Movements Eterna_calibres Automatic_movements}}
