Many iconic timepieces have been closely associated with expeditions especially in the tool watch category – from the highest mountain accents to the deepest depths of the ocean even into outer space the need for accurate timekeeping has always been a top priority. The 1947 KonTiki expedition was not setting records, it was about establishing Polynesia had been established by mankind moving from South America and not from Central Asia. The guide of the expedition wore an Eterna on his wrist and in 1958, Eterna selected the KonTiki designation for its most rugged line in tribute to Thor Heyerdahl’s odyssey.

The KonTiki line of rugged dive watches were selected by adventurers and divers in late 1960 into the 1970's and this is the case specifically with the Super KonTiki which was adopted by the Israeli secret service and UDT divers three decades ago. This specific 1970's Eterna-Matic Super KonTiki IDF 200m "Civilian Non-Issued Model" military dive watch. Original condition with all functions working.
