Steve sent in his EternaMatic Triple Date for a service. This watch has quite a few complications:
- day
- date
- month
- moon phase
- 3 register chronograph
- automatic
- 24 hour hand
- sub-second hand
- hacking second
- quick-set date
- quick-set moon phase
- quick set day
From the top: the top sub-dial shows the day of the week on the left, and the month on the right. A lot of triple dates require you to manually forward the month, but this one does it automatically on every 31st. If the month is shorter, you have to advance the date by hand. It also has a hand for the minute recorder of the chronograph.
The sub dial at 9 o’clock has a short hand showing a 24 hour display (just in case you can’t tell if it’s day or night) and a longer second hand.
The date is shown by a central date hand with a crescent shaped red end.
The sub dial at 6 o’clock shows the moon phase, and the hour recorder hand. A total of 8 hands!
