: Here is some history about this timepiece:
: Perhaps you've heard of Thor Heyerdahl, or perhaps you think anyone
: named Thor carries a big hammer. Well for you unenlightened, Mr.
: Heyerdahl was probably one of the most badass adventurers the
: world has ever seen.
: So badass, in fact, that in 1947, in an attempt to prove a theory
: about ancient peoples' ability to make long sea voyages, Mr.
: Heyerdahl sailed a hand-built raft 8,000 miles across the
: Pacific.
: That raft was named the Kon-Tiki.
: The inter-webs are replete with differences of opinion about
: whether Heyerdahl and his crew were actually wearing Eternas
: when they made the voyage. According to Eterna's website, they
: were. Regardless of the controversy, what we know for sure is
: that in 1958, in honor of Heyerdahl and his voyage, Eterna
: created the Kon-Tiki 20 line.
: A great tool watch, the Eterna-matic is driven by a Calibre 1489K
: automatic movement which features the trademark Eterna five
: ball-bearing rotor system. So whether your spending the day at
: the beach or crossing the Pacific in a balsa-wood boat, you can
: count on this beaut to get the job done, and look good doing it!
: This Eterna-Matic hails from the late '60s, has an original Eterna
: bracelet, a caseback bearing the gold icon of the Kon-Tiki
: itself, a stunning original dial and baton hands.
