Extra-Fort ref. 13292, produced in the 1940s, is one of the most fascinating and iconic watches in the maison’s history. This piece, belonging to the “pre‑Extrafort” phase, represents a milestone in vintage watchmaking, where elegance and functionality meet in perfect balance. The 40 mm steel case, generous for the era, houses a dial of irresistible charm: the famous salmon dial, here rendered in a warm bronze tone, showing a splendid uniform and natural patina, a sign of the passage of time. The dial is enriched with a tachymetric scale and a telemeter, as well as chronograph counters arranged harmoniously, creating a balanced and visually striking ensemble. Inside beats the manual caliber 16000, with 18,000 alternations per hour and a power reserve of about 40 hours: a robust and reliable movement that confirms Eberhard & Co.’s technical excellence of that period. The domed plexiglass crystal and elegant lugs make this chronograph even more refined, while the grey ostrich leather strap, paired with a steel deployant clasp, adds a distinctive contemporary touch without betraying the piece’s vintage soul. This piece is in excellent condition, with minimal marks consistent with its age, lacking box and original documents but possessing all the authenticity and charm of a historic piece. The Eberhard Extra-Fort Pre Extrafort with salmon dial is not just a watch, but a true fragment of history: a timeless‑style chronograph, rare and coveted by the most demanding collectors, capable of telling on its own the evolution of the maison’s design and technique.
