ETERNA MEN'S AUTOMATIC KONTIKI DATE WATCH
Eterna watches are certainly among the finest in the world. This highly respected watchmaker was founded in 1856, and has become one of the most advanced and technically innovative watchmakers in the world. One of Eterna's proudest moments was when Thor Heyerdahl and his crew wore their Eterna wristwatches on the voyage of the KonTiki in 1947. Following their adventurous 4,300 mile journey across the Pacific, the crew's Eternas worked perfectly. Subsequently, Eterna's sports watches were called "KonTiki." Sporting a luxurious, masculine design, this Eterna Men's Automatic KonTiki Date Watch boasts Sellita calibre SW 200 automatic 26 jewels movement (one ball bearing) for exceptional precision year after year. It features a case back that's screw-fitted with a KonTiki medallion, as well as a screw-locked crown, scratch-resistant sapphire to guard against wear and tear, water resistance to an impressive 660 feet (200 meters), and the centre of the dial bears an engraved outline of Raroia, the Polynesian atoll on which the KonTiki ended its fabled voyage described above. This lot is kindly donated by Veritime.
