Eterna Super-KonTiki ref. 130 IPT. 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.
Fitted on a Gay Frères “brick-link” KonTiki signed stainless steel bracelet.
This Super-KonTiki is powered by the automatic cal. 1424UD with date function, ETA based with Eterna specific,modifications such as adding their patented five ball-bearing rotor, referenced prominently in the brand’s logo.
The watch is in overall excellent condition, almost unworn with the sticker still present on the back case
