Eterna Super-KonTiki Ref. 130 FTP. with a true water resistance-focused case measures 40mm. and an external bezel, Eterna gave both die-hard diving consumers as well as casual sportsmen a watch both capable and stylish. This bezel was explained by Eterna advertisements as designed to require a manual setting of the triangle marker in line with the minute hand upon reaching final dive depth. From there, a diver had until the minute hand hits their respective depth to stay immersed. The ads, for example, use a 20 meter deep dive. Immersion timing corresponds to a 1949 book entitled "La Plongee", authored by a group of French scuba pioneers including the legendary Jacques Cousteau. Examples throughout the decades-long run of Super-KonTikis are found with "La Plongee" bezels graduated in both meters and feet.
