From HERE I would say that:-
1 is Introduction of ball bearings in Eterna watches
2 is t[STRIKE]he rotor[/STRIKE] as Pechow says below this should be the barrel see HERE

3 is crossed the Pacific on a raft from HERE

Pechow

2 is barrels:

This same technical approach reappeared in 2009 with the Eterna Spherodrive mechanism. Its spherical bearings are now made of a zirconium oxide ceramic compound and fitted on three concentric rings that facilitate the rotatory movement of the barrel or barrels in the 3510 Calibre.
