Ayear after the successful relaunch of the Lady KonTiki collection, Eterna brings the quartz version of the Kontiki Lady Diver. The dive watch is usually considered a masculine timepiece yet history shows that women have long been just as comfortable in the sea as men, so it stands to reason that women should get a worthy dive watch of their own.
Following on the success of last year’s KonTiki Lady Diver, for 2017, Eterna introduces a quartz-powered version that is ready to pick up and go for a weekend on or under the water and with a ruggedness that is crucial to a sports watch.
Named after the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl’s epic voyage across the Pacific on a balsa wood raft 70 years ago, Eterna’s KonTiki watch family is renowned for its dependability under adverse conditions and its dive watches have been favored by recreational and professional divers for decades. The Lady Diver Quartz is no exception.
The 36-millimeter stainless steel case is sized right for a woman’s wrist and with 200 meters of water resistance, ready for any adventure, underwater or topside. Two of the four references are given a 5N gold PVD treatment for a dressier look but one that is no less durable.
All watches are topped with a uni-directional bezel with a scratch-proof ceramic timing ring. The white lacquered dials are highly legible and distinctive, set with the bold luminous markers and a discreet date window that keeps you on schedule while staying unobtrusive. Protecting this dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for a clear view of the time. Finishing the sporty but elegant appearance, all of the Lady Diver Quartz watches come mounted on stitched leather straps in white, pink, or black.
As the name suggests, the Lady Diver Quartz is powered by a Swiss quartz movement for a care-free durability that resists life’s knocks. The quartz movement also ensures a grab and go convenience, always running, whether you wear the watch every day or only on the weekends. The KonTiki Lady Diver Quartz is a bold new timepiece evocative of the lifestyle a diving watch has long represented, but with a refinement befitting the adventurous women who will wear them.
