The dive watch is usually considered a masculine timepiece, yet history shows that women have been just as comfortable in the sea as men, from the Sirens and Naiads of Greek mythology to the mermaids that teased sailors, right up to pioneering twentieth century female divers like Sylvia Earle and Lotte Hass. So it stands to reason that adventurous women should get a worthy dive watch of their own.
Following last year KonTiki Lady Diver, Eterna introduces a quartz-powered version that is ready to pick up and go for on or under water experiences, and a ruggedness that is crucial to a sports watch. Named after Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl’s epic voyage across the Pacific on a balsa wood raft 70 years ago, Eterna’s KonTiki watch family is known for its dependability under difficult 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 perfectly for a woman’s wrist. With 200 meters of water resistance, the watch is 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. And all are topped with a uni-directional bezel with a scratchproof ceramic timing ring. The white lacquered dials are highly legible and distinctive, set with the bold markers and a discrete date window. To protect the dial, the timepiece offers a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for a clear view of the time. To finish the sporty but elegant appearance, all of the Lady Diver Quartz watches are fitted on stitched leather straps in white, pink, or black.
The Lady Diver Quartz is powered by a Swiss quartz movement for a care-free durability. The quartz movement also ensures a “grab and go” convenience, always running, whether you wear the watch every day or only on the weekends.
