FSOT - Original 70's Eterna Kontiki IDF style

[VintageVagabound]

This is the vintage Eterna Kontiki Super that they modeled the recent "Special Edition 1973" after. I didn't want to deal with all the questionable IDF markings so I got a civilian one without any markings. I did pick it up in Israel for whatever it's worth.

Recently serviced and runs great (quickset date working too). I paid more to have it pressure tested and it passed but I would still be cautious and avoid diving with a 45 year old watch. It has a scratch on the mineral glass crystal and some scratches on the back where it appears some knucklehead couldn't get the back off. It's missing a lume plot by the "10" on the bezel and missing the lume at the top of the bezel. Other than that it's all original and running awesome. It'll come on a black nato. I know everybody says "unpolished" but I think this one may have avoided polishing in the past. I don't these were watches that received a lot of "babying" during their life and were tanks made for the water. This is a solid piece of metal.

No box or paperwork but I'll include the service receipt.

Bump...I'm actually conflicted about selling as I wear it now but I made a new purchase last night and I need to consider reducing the stock...
