In 1948 Eterna introduced a watch that will become a classic of the Grenchen watchmaker, the KonTiki. This waterproof watch was designed to commemorate the expedition of archaeologist and ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl which in 1947, together with five other scientists, set out from the Peruvian coast into the Pacific Ocean on a simple raft made of balsa wood named after Kon-Tiki, an Incan sun god. With his mission, Heyerdahl wanted to prove that it would have been technically possible for the pre-Columbian Indians of South America to reach Polynesia with the help of the Humboldt Current and the Passat wind. With Eterna watches on their wrists, the six explorers completed their mission and reached the Raroia atoll in Polynesia after 101 days and nights of journey.

We ask you please make sure you are satisfied with the condition of the watch before purchasing. As these watches are vintage quartz watches they do not fall under our usual guarantee. If you have any questions please feel free to message us.
