WHY WE LOVE IT
Perhaps you've heard of Thor Heyerdahl, or perhaps you think anyone named Thor carries a big hammer. Well, for you unenlightened, Mr. Heyerdahl was probably one of the most badass adventurers the world has ever seen. So badass, in fact, that in 1947, in an attempt to prove a theory about ancient peoples' ability to make long sea voyages, Mr. Heyerdahl sailed a hand-built raft 8,000 miles across the Pacific. That raft was named the Kon-Tiki. The inter-webs are replete with differences of opinion about whether Heyerdahl and his crew were actually wearing Eternas when they made the voyage. (According to Eterna's website, they were.) Regardless of the controversy, what we know for sure is that in 1958, in honor of Heyerdahl and his voyage, Eterna created the Kon-Tiki 20 line. This particular Kon-Tiki is housed in a 37mm stainless steel case with a recessed crown, an acrylic crystal, and a caseback with a gold medallion. It features a wildly cool black Tritium dial with applied indices and an almost galaxy-like patina, a matching dauphine handset, and the famed Eterna-Matic movement with trademark five ball-bearing rotor system powering the piece within. It comes fitted to brick-link bracelet with a signed blace clasp manufactured by Gay Freres, perhaps the most famous mid century watch bracelet manufacturer in the world. Whether you're spending the day at the beach or crossing the Pacific in a balsa-wood boat, you can count on this beauty to get the job done, and look good doing it!
OVERALL CONDITION The case is in excellent, strong condition overall showing normal signs of wear consistent with age and use. Matte black dial with applied 'fancy' indices shows stippling patina throughout and deep patina to luminous elements with matching 'dauphine' handset. Unsigned crown. 14K yellow gold caseback medallion.
