Vintage Eterna Kontiki 1958. Some pictures.
We know Blomman's wonderful specimen which has been posted several times.
This other one made my heart beat faster.
The case back has the symbol of the Kontiki engraved, even if it is not that evident on that picture.
The case back is signed inside, and the Cal 1412 UD is correct, too.
Superb case, correct crown with the 5 balls which are the logo of the brand.
Now, I am not sure that the dial is 100% original.
No Swiss mention at 6 o clock. As for the wording, it is hard to say, I don't know this model very much.
My heart says " Jump " my head says " Pass "...
But you know that very well, don't you?
Best,
Nicolas

That's a beautiful one
finding one would be indeed very tempting. Let's see what the experts says about the dial. CC
Beautiful watch and cool dial Nicolas! Now ... my question is...
... is the lacking of the words "Swiss" a definitive indication of a refinished or non original dial ? I own an Omega Cosmic whose dial do not mention "Swiss" so I suspected had a refinished dial. Some time ago I read an article regarding this model and i...
It all depends on the watch, Abel...
I didn't see many Eterna Kontiki 1st generation, but those I saw all had this Swiss Mention. As for the Omega, google the version, and you may have a first idea. Un abrazo, Amigo. Nicolas
My take on this dial is that it is as...
Good as the Swedish team in the EU cup... 1) Normally the dial would turn, not only the lume. 2) The dial is normally more glossy than matt. 3) The missing SWISS. But of course, I could be wrong... Best Blomman ...
Absolutely...
Gorgeous. Very busy this days but I\'ll post my vintage watch and the new one that I already show to you guys.
There are some very interesting vintage Eternas, indeed.
This Kontiki, of course, but also the Majetek! Among others... Best, Nicolas
