Eberhard Oversize, 1942

A 37 mm case gives Eberhard Oversize from 1942 its larger early-wristwatch presence. The men's hand-wound Swiss watch pairs a dark charcoal-black dial, aged Roman numerals and recessed small seconds at 6 with long sharply shaped lugs, a narrow rounded bezel and raised acrylic-style crystal. A green-grey fabric strap and lightly aged dial reinforce its restrained wartime-era appearance.

Dark dial with warm-toned Roman numerals

The charcoal-to-black dial has a lightly aged surface with subtle texture. Roman numeral hour markers are printed in a warm aged tone, contrasting with the dark background. An outer printed minute track frames the display. Eberhard is signed below 12, with La Chaux-de-Fonds beneath it.

The recessed small-seconds register at 6 has fine printed markings. Its circular shape gives the lower dial depth and balances the upper signature. Long, slim central hour and minute hands have a darker tone, blending with the dial while remaining readable against the aged numerals and minute track.

There is no date window or additional complication. The time-only arrangement keeps the face focused, with its dial aging and restrained lettering retained as actual visual details.

37 mm proportions and a domed front

The 37 mm case is larger than many smaller men's watches from the early 1940s. Its slim body, polished steel-toned appearance, long sharply shaped lugs and narrow rounded bezel give it a stronger presence without a heavy-looking profile. The actual case metal is not established.

The raised acrylic-style crystal is gently domed and rises above the bezel. Soft distortion at the dial edge is part of the documented appearance. Light marks on the polished case surfaces show normal age and use. Acrylic-style describes the visual form, rather than a confirmed material specification.

Fabric fitting and 1942 context

A green-grey fabric strap complements the dark dial and steel-toned case. It gives the watch a practical, understated and more casual presentation. The larger case, small seconds and fabric fitting retain the military-inspired design character of this 1942 example.

The wartime-era description concerns its date and appearance. No military issue, service-unit ownership or rarity claim is established for this particular watch.

Hand-wound construction and warranty

A mechanical movement powers this hand-wound watch's hours, minutes and small seconds. Daily winding is the traditional routine of this early mechanical watch, with the actual caliber number unspecified.

This used Eberhard is fully serviced and comes with a 12-month warranty. Its 37 mm proportions, dark Roman-numeral dial, fine small-seconds scale and long lugs give the Oversize its individual wartime-era character.
