New arrival for me today! Last year I had to sell my early kontiki to fund another purchase, so I have been looking out for a replacement since then.

Holy tropical dial, batman!

It's just as sunburned as Heyerdahl was himself when he finally washed up on the Polynesian shores.

Congrats for all these KonTiki! I love this history.
I vote for a metal mesh one. Leather not compatible with salted sea water... 😀 and I'm not sure that the military design of a nato was compatible with the pacific ideas of Thor Heyerdahl...

I found mine in a vintage jewelry shop about 18 years ago. I wore it on my wedding day. In fact, I have not worn it for awhile now and it needs a service. Put that on the to do list.
