FOR SALE IS A COOL 1960 ETERNA KONTIKI 130T WITH SOME HANDSOME GENTLEMANLY CHARM
CASE: STUNNING SOLID STEEL CASE WITH ROBUST SCREW-BACK CASE MEASURING A NICE 34.5 NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL 5 BEARING CROWN. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CASE DESIGNS WITH THOSE LONG SCULPTED SWOOPY LUGS. I LOVE THE WAY THIS ONE WEARS. THE GOLD KONTIKI MARKER ON THE CASEBACK IS A NICE TOUCH.
DIAL: THIS IS EARLY 60s CLASS AT ITS FINEST. BEAUTIFUL SUNBURST METALLIC SILVER DIAL IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. I LOVE THOSE ELEGANT APPLIED ARROW MARKERS AND THE ARABIC NUMERALS AT 12 AND 6 MAKING FOR A LEGIBLE AN UNCLUTTERED DESIGN. THE RADIUM FILLED DAUPHINE HANDS LOOK SPECTACULAR WITH THE SUBTLE PATINA MATCHING THE LUME PLOTS ON THE DIAL.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 17 JEWEL IN-HOUSE ETERNA AUTOMATIC. THESE WERE EXTREMELY ROBUST MOVEMENTS FOR THE TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN ON THIS ONE, BUT THE WATCH WINDS SMOOTHLY BOTH BY HAND AND WITH THE ROTOR.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A DAPPER GREY SUEDE STRAP WHICH LOOKS SPORTY ON THIS FELLA . THESE ETERNAS ARE SIMPLY FANATASTIC WITH THEIR SOLID IN-HOUSE MOVEMENTS, GREAT DESIGNS, AND STURDY CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF EARLY 60s WATCH LANGUAGE AND IS REALLY A GOOD LOOKING.
