This vintage Birks tank-style watch blends Canadian retail heritage with Swiss horological craftsmanship. The rectangular 10k gold-filled case embodies the timeless tank aesthetic, while the smokey patina dial tells a story of decades of wear and character—each mark and fade adding to its vintage charm.
Powering this elegant timepiece is a Swiss-made 17-jewel Eterna movement, serial number 652096, renowned for its precision and reliability. Eterna, founded in 1856 in Grenchen, Switzerland, has long been celebrated for mechanical innovation, including the development of the ball-bearing mounted rotor system that transformed automatic winding technology.
Birks, often called “the Tiffany’s of Canada,” has been synonymous with fine jewelry and watches since its founding in 1879. Known for curating and retailing high-quality Swiss watches under its own name, Birks remains a trusted name in Canadian luxury.
With its tasteful proportions, storied dial, and dependable Swiss heart, this Birks tank-style watch is both a piece of Canadian history and a refined accessory ready for a new chapter.
