Superb and very rare limited edition Eterna-matic wristwatch from 1997, commemorating Thor Heyerdahl's famous crossing of the Pacific ocean by balsa wood raft.

Fully serviced by prominent watchmakers Jon Vincent, in Lanarkshire, and so consequently does not have any service or condition issues whatsoever, and not worn at all since. The service receipt will be given to the buyer. It is all in virtually new 9.5/10 condition guaranteed. A really fabulous quality classic timepiece from one of the world's most famous and prestigious Swiss watch houses established in Grenchen, Switzerland in 1856; and for many years, or even decades the Eterna KonTiki was the only real sports tool watch alternative to a Rolex or Tudor oyster, without having to buy a submariner watch for even greater depths.
