surfer2278 0 Posted April 9, 2011 A Modern Watch with a Great Heritage Since 1856, Eterna has stood for the manufacture of high-quality, mechanical watches. In its long history, Eterna has introduced many important industry developments as one of the pioneers of the art of watchmaking. Among the revolutionary innovations to come out of Eterna are the ball-bearing mounted rotor for hand-wound movements and the chronograph with mechanical digital stopwatch indicator. This traditional brand today belongs to Ferdinand A. Porsche and is thus one of the last major manufacturers anywhere in the world that is still not part of a major group. Eterna is also the manufacturer of the highly successful Porsche Design watch collection under license from Porsche Design. Eterna paid close attention to robustness and functionality in the selection of materials and the processing. The bridge and rotating bezel are stainless steel as are the screwed strap horns. The engineers decided to use black, PVD-coated titanium for the construction of the container to save weight while not compromising stability. The case-back bears the KonTiki medallion commemorating the historic origins of this watch line. In 1947, the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia on a raft of prehistoric design named after the sun god of the original inhabitants of Peru: KonTiki. During this 8000 kilometer adventurous ocean journey, Heyerdahl wore an Eterna – a watchmaking masterpiece built by pioneers for pioneers. Reference number: 1594 Movement: ETA caliber 2897; self-winding mechanical movement; specific Eterna rotor with côtes de Genève; certified chronometer Dial/hands: Black dial; central hours, minutes, and seconds hands, index marks and hands coated with superluminova; date indication at 7: 30 o’clock; power reserve indication at 4 o’clock. Case/back: PVD coated titanium case; dual-direction rotating, non-ratchet stainless steel bezel; spring-loaded buttons; rotating flange with diver marks via bezel; 4 mm thick, non-reflecting, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal; non-screw-down crown with patented sealing system; back with impressed KonTiki medallion; water resistant to 1000 meters. Dimensions: Diameter: 46 mm; thickness: 16 mm Bracelet/clasp: Black natural rubber strap with folding clasp and diver’s extension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted April 9, 2011 I don't think it was repped. Yet. I like the watch a lot, just one minus - dial size is unproportionally small for a watch of this size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
