Been yearning after a new watch for a while now. As funds do not allow the purchase of what I actually want (yet - I'm expecting a bit of a windfall in a week or two) I've blown part of the current watch fund on this:

Should arrive sometime in November and Eterna's Kon-Tiki / Tangaroa watches hold a sort of special meaning for me as my Grandfather was an avid sailor and boat builder who was inspired greatly by Heyerdahl.
I was never really close to him through distance and some spat he and my father had but when my own life circumstances mirrored his own in some way I grew a greater understanding of him and made more of an effort when we did meet. I felt that this would be a suitable reminder of him and his achievements as the only reminders of him I now have are some faded photos and an oil painting of his cameraman Raka in high seas.
