This is a vintage Eterna Kontiki wristwatch. The original Eterna Kontiki models were launched in 1958 to commemorate the famous 1947 expedition on the Kontiki raft, during which crew members used Eterna watches for their robustness.

Main Features

Make and Model: Eterna Kontiki. Dial only shows "Eternal" and "Kontiki".

Era: This specific model, written "Swiss" at 6 o'clock instead of "Swiss Made", is probably a vintage watch, dating back to the '60s or '70s, prior to some later variations of the dial.

Movement: Kontiki mechanical models from this era were almost all automatic (Eterna-Matic), although some rare manual watches might exist.

Design: Features a silver-colored dial with applied indexes and date at 3 o'clock. Dials with only "Eterna" and "Kontiki" (without "Eterna-Matic") are often considered reprinted ("redial") or repaired dials, which would affect their value.

Value: Vintage Eterna Kontiki watches are highly collectible. Their exact value varies greatly depending on the condition, originality of the dial and movement, and whether it features the Kontiki raft medallion on the caseback (which is not visible in this image). Good condition and original specimens can have significant prices, while those with non-original dials tend to be worth less.

The price for a vintage Eterna Kontiki watch varies greatly, generally ranging from around €400 to over €1,800, depending on specific factors.

Factors Affecting Price

Dial Originality: Original dials labeled "Eterna-Matic" are rarer and more valuable. Those with only "Eternal" and "Kontiki" (as pictured) could be reprinted, which decreases their value.

Condition: The condition of the watch (case, dial, movement) is crucial. The specimen pictured shows signs of wear and scratches on the glass and dial, which reduces its value compared to a model in "stunning" condition.

Movement: Models with automatic movement (Eterna-Matic) are generally more sought after than manual ones.

Bottom Medallion: The presence and condition of the signature Kontiki raft medallion on the bottom adds value.

Reference: Specific models like the "Super KonTiki" or limited editions have higher prices.
