Condition Notes: The name Eska originates from the phonetic pronunciation of the initials S.K., which stand for the founder Sylvan Kocher. Eska primarily crafted dress watches, chronographs, and Art Deco-inspired designs, often featuring gold cases and intricate dials, as seen in this example with the enamel details. The white enamel accents on the dial show hairline cracks under magnification, with minor to moderate contact wear visible on the crystal under a loupe. The case periphery and reverse display markings consistent with wear as well. The stones are in very good condition, with only very minor abrasions on some rubies, maintaining great overall quality.
