    Dear OF,

    Up for your consideration is this wonderful Kontiki 10.

    The Kontiki, Eternas sportive line, has had many faces from the 1950s onward. This 1968 iteration in my opinion is very elegant, thanks to its sharp case design (almost Grand Seiko-esque, in my opinion) and playful bezel. It was delivered on steel or leather; this one sadly had no bracelet when I acquired it. Of course I can't guarantee the water resistance!

    The case side retains its original finish. The bezel shows some wear. The case size is 35mm excluding the crown.

    I don't know if the crown is a replacement. In any case, the date quick change forward (by pulling the crown) is fully functional.

    The case shows some wear but the dial well makes up for it, in my opinion! The markers are fat and 3D and catch the light wonderfully.

    I should mention that, in certain lighting, there is a line visible on the dial. I pictured it below.

    The serial dates to 1968.

    The movement is the beautiful cal. 1489K rotor automatic. It was not serviced in my possession.

    My asking price for this piece is EUR 415,00 including the strap as pictured and including tracked & insured shipping within the EU. Bank wire preferred. Outside of the EU I will only consider shipping to the USA, for now.
    The watch and I are located in The Netherlands.

    Slap a jubilee or oyster style on this and thumb your nose at all the DJ wearers.
