A beautiful vintage Eterna Matic KonTiki Super diver's watch. This is of the same IDF-issued (Israeli Defense Force) family of watches.
Movement is clean and running strong. I have not timed it to seconds, though it's keeping good time for daily wear.
Overall I would rate this watch at 80% condition (conservatively), but for a watch of this age it's in remarkable shape!
Model number: 130 FTP
Case number: 130 FTP
Size: 47mm lug-to-lug and 39mm wide
Strap width: 20 mm
Dial: Original unrestored flat black dial dial with tritium luminous material. Stunning shape! The patina is very even on both dial and hands.
Bezel: The bezel assembly is original and rotates freely. The insert however has been replaced with an alternative vintage insert. Since it is slightly smaller than the original, it was set with a thin layer of adhesive that can be removed and replaced with an original insert and it will function fully!! This insert does not rotate for this matter (the whole assembly has been removed, cleaned and confirmed working by my watchmaker, it just needs an original insert! It has not been glued tight like some that are found on the web)
Hands: Hour, minute, and second's hand are original and unrestored. The minute hand has lost some luminous material. This can be seen in the pictures.
Case/Case-back: Solid stainless steel case and case-back. Solid gold seal on case-back. Original screw down crown. Case and case-back are in excellent shape with a few light scratches and dings typical of a watch this age. Left upper lug has a wider but very shallow scratch that is hard to see in the pictures. Can be easily polished off.
Crystal: Acrylic crystal, some minor buffs and scratches that can also be polished off.
Watch is located in Brazil. Shipping to the continental US and Europe is 48 US dollars for insured EMS with 6 to 8 days ship time. Asia and other locations 68 US dollars for insured EMS with 6 to 8 days ship time .
Plenty of references and respected eBay seller.
All the best!
