Eterna Royal KonTiki Chronograph Watch
For 2016, Eterna will release what will perhaps be the nicest version of the “new” Royal KonTiki yet – with these Eterna Royal KonTiki Chronograph watches. All Eterna Royal KonTiki watches currently use forms of Eterna’s very nice in-house made Caliber 39 (which our David Bredan thoroughly detailed here). Eterna boasted that the Caliber 39 was designed with over 80 different potential layouts in mind, and this chronograph dial is just one of them.Eterna first debuted the new Royal KonTiki collection of sport watches back in 2013 with the Royal KonTiki GMT (hands-on here). In 2014, Eterna upped the ante significantly by adding the Royal KonTiki Chronograph GMT to the collection. Slightly exotic in layout and aggressive in its design, the Eterna Royal KonTiki Chronograph GMT proved a bit controversial, and I don’t think enough people really appreciated the watch for what it was.
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression Two-Tone ZO9271 Watch Hands-On
The Zodiac reference ZO9271 is the first two-tone style version of the modern Super Sea Wolf Compression watch – and I think it has an excellent look to it. People who should look at this closely are those who want a solidly-made, vintage-style, quality movement-equipped, and accessibly-priced diver’s watch, but with a fashionable twist. That fashionable twist is the aesthetic look of steel and 18k yellow gold.Hands-on images by Ariel AdamsZodiac doesn’t price the Super Sea Wolf Compression ZO9271 watch more than any other similar model in the product family but the gold of course isn’t real. Rather, it uses gold-tone coated steel for the bracelet’s center links, the bezel, dial elements, and the crown. At this under $1,400 price one wouldn’t expect real gold anyways, but what people do expect is a good mechanical movement and utility – which is an area where the Super Sea Wolf Compression most certainly does deliver.
