FAQs

Is the Eterna KonTiki waterproof?

The watch is not designed for swimming or diving. The leather strap specifically should be protected from moisture to prevent damage.

How do I adjust the strap?

The watch features a classic pin buckle. Simply thread the strap through the buckle and secure the pin in the desired hole for a snug fit.

What type of movement does this watch use?

This model utilizes a precise quartz movement, known for its accuracy and ease of use.

Can I replace the leather strap with a metal bracelet?

While the strap is replaceable, it is recommended to consult a professional watchmaker to ensure the replacement bracelet is compatible with the case lugs.

How often should I clean the watch?

Wiping the case with a soft cloth after each day of wear is recommended to keep it looking new and free of oils.

Is the sapphire crystal prone to scratching?

Sapphire crystal is highly resistant to scratches, far more so than mineral glass or plastic crystals.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not keeping accurate time

The battery may be nearing the end of its life; have a professional jeweler replace the battery.

Date is not changing at the right time

The date mechanism may be set 12 hours off; pull the crown to the time-setting position and advance the hands by 12 hours.

Surface smudges on the crystal

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently buff the sapphire crystal until clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact 36mm size offers a versatile and timeless look
  • Durable sapphire crystal prevents common scratches
  • Reliable quartz movement ensures low-maintenance accuracy
  • Sophisticated design suitable for both formal and casual settings

Cons

  • Leather strap is sensitive to moisture and water exposure
  • Requires periodic battery replacements due to quartz movement
  • Fixed lug width limits swapping to non-standard aftermarket straps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting the time and date on your Eterna KonTiki is straightforward. Pull the crown to the first position to adjust the date, and pull it to the second position to adjust the hour and minute hands. For care, keep the following in mind:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and oils.
  2. Leather Maintenance: Avoid getting the leather strap wet. If it does get damp, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields to ensure the quartz movement remains unaffected.
  4. Service: While quartz movements are robust, consider a professional battery change every 2-3 years to prevent potential leakage from old cells.
