Eterna Men's 1220.41.43.1184 Automatic Kontiki Date Watch

Description

Blending meticulous craftsmanship and modern style, the Eterna Men's Automatic Kontiki Date Watch #1220.41.43.1184 is both luxurious and versatile. Sellita calibre SW 200 automatic 26 jewels movement (one ball bearing) provides reliable precision, while a polished stainless steel case and bezel combine with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, case back screw-fitted with kontiki medallion, and screw-locked crown to guard against wear and tear. The bold dial is bound to turn heads, thanks to an embossed raroia atoll structure, luminous material for easy night reading, and convenient date display between four and five o'clock. Water resistant to an impressive 660 feet (200 meters), this Eterna original includes a black crocodile leather strap--complete with decorative tonal stitching--for a comfortable, all-day fit. What, in 1856, set out as a factory producing blank movements, in time, grew into a mature manufacturing enterprise thanks to the vision and tenacity of founding partner Urs Schild. As a family-owned company, Eterna has remained faithful to its original philosophy – that of perfecting the classic art of watchmaking. It has managed this with great aplomb, as can be seen from the series of milestones that have marked the past 150 years. In 1995 the company was taken over by the Porsche Family. Since then , designers, watchmakers and engineers have been collaborating on products designed to keep Eterna and its inheritance of tradition at the forefront of progress – products such as Porsche Design’s high-end, high-performance timepieces. On the road to perfecting the time-honored watchmaker’s art, our craftspeople make use of highly precise and cutting-edge technology. From the initial concept of a movement to its series manufacture, we deploy the latest in engineering and computing technology to bring our new design solutions to fruition. Testing at every stage of development helps guarantee the full functionality of our timepieces. Engineers, prototype builders and watchmakers are all involved in equal measure in this creation process – the knowledge they share carries watchmaking to new heights of mechanical perfection.Unadulterated, time-honored craftsmanship is a defining feature of traditional watchmaking. It is at the heart of our manufacturing capability from the time of our company’s founding in 1856. A number of our masterpieces would never have seen the light of day were it not for the knowledge, experience and consummate skill of our watchmakers. Only by knowing something inside and out can one sense how it can be improved upon – and that is why we remain true to our roots.
