Eterna invented the ball-bearing rotor that almost every automatic watch still uses, and its vintage catalogue is full of well-built, honestly priced watches. KonTiki models in particular have a strong following.
What we look at
Original dials and correct KonTiki case backs make the difference. Gold cases carry a metal floor, but with Eterna the watch value usually comes out ahead.
