A rare 1st model Eterna-Matic 'KonTiki' from the late 1950s, featuring the Eterna Cal. 1414UD movement. This iconic Eterna movement, Cal. 1414UD, was the first in the world to incorporate ball bearings inside the automatic rotor. The watch has a black mirror dial with unique luminous indexes and dolphin hands, as well as a screw-back waterproof case without a rotating bezel, showcasing the distinct style of the 1st model.

The absence of a date window enhances the symmetrical design of the 3, 6, 9, and 12-hour markers, making the dial design even more striking.
