Combining technical sophistication, oversized proportions, and strong vintage character, this is a watch that stands apart even within the already respected world of early Eberhard chronographs. For collectors of important vintage complications, it is a particularly compelling and uncommon proposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"10-10\"\u003eThe defining feature of the watch is its rare \u003cstrong\u003esplit-seconds chronograph\u003c\/strong\u003e architecture, a sophisticated complication that allows intermediate timing without interrupting the main chronograph. Eberhard was among the early pioneers of chronograph development, and this example reflects that innovative spirit in especially striking form. The present watch is notable for its unusual configuration, with the chronograph functions integrated through the winding crown, an upper pusher for the rattrapante mechanism, and the lower pusher serving as a locking function for the chronograph system — an uncommon and fascinating technical detail that contributes significantly to the model’s appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"12-12\"\u003eEncased in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the watch is further distinguished by its highly desirable \u003cstrong\u003e40 mm case\u003c\/strong\u003e, an impressive and unusually large dimension for the period. The \u003cstrong\u003eblack dial\u003c\/strong\u003e, with its richly aged surface, combines strong visual depth with excellent legibility, featuring a tachymeter-style scale, three balanced subsidiary registers, and painted numerals that reinforce its unmistakably vintage presence. Preserved with strong character and fitted on a leather strap, this Pre Extra-Fort Rattrapante stands as a true connoisseur’s piece: rare, technically intriguing, and deeply representative of the innovation that defined the finest early chronographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"14-14\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-source-line=\"15-16\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"15-16\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"17-17\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-source-line=\"18-31\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"18-18\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eberhard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"19-19\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre Extra-Fort Rattrapante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"20-20\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1940s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"21-21\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"22-22\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'015'229\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"23-23\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual, 17 jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"24-24\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17'412\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"25-25\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"26-26\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chronograph, split-seconds chronograph (rattrapante)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"27-27\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"28-28\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"29-29\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSigned:\u003c\/strong\u003e Case, dial and movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"30-31\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"32-32\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT HORAMUNDI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"33-33\"\u003eWe specialize in vintage and contemporary timepieces and collectible horological objects, offering carefully curated pieces inspected for authenticity and presentation, with high-resolution images and detailed descriptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HORAMUNDI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67569380720932,"sku":null,"price":48000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8222\/1348\/files\/EberhardPreExtra-FortRattrapantesteelchronographwithblackdialandtanleatherstrap.heic?v=1790599479","url":"https:\/\/horamundi.com\/products\/eberhard-pre-extra-fort-rattrapante-oversized-steel-split-seconds-chronograph-black-dial","provider":"HORAMUNDI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
