A new set of photographs of the Eberhard 1600 step case with two-tone dial, known as “The Great 10”, which show the quality of this chronograph better.

Made around 1935, it has two registers and a spectacular two-tone dial in warm shades of copper, which change as the watch is turned in the light and shine like a mirror. The “10” in the name refers to a particular feature of this example.

The step case is in excellent condition, probably unpolished, or at most very lightly so. The three digits on the lug match the last three digits of the case number inside the caseback, which matters a great deal with these watches.
