Eterna Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones Watch
The Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones by Eterna is a handsome watch, but watch industry pundits will no doubt consider the bigger story being the first appearance of the new Calibre 39 in a production watch.It couldn't have happened soon enough.When the Calibre 39 was announced this year, its appearance seemed to embody that well known saying ascribed to Plato that "Necessity is the mother of invention." Since ETA owner, the Swatch Group, announced their intention to limit the supply of ETA movements to competing companies, the scramble had begun to find an alternative supplier.After-all, with the drying up of the supply of these workhorse engines, many watch companies would be left with pretty watch cases with nothing to put inside, thus threatening their survival. Those?companies who could (ie: with deep pockets) were given?impetus?to develop in-house movements, partly to remove dependence?on external suppliers, and partly to move up the chain as it were, towards credibility as a watchmak

Hesalite or Sapphire?
HelloI would like to hear some different views on the above please.I'm interested in buying a Speedmaster Professional Moon watch. I know they come in two different versions, one with a Hesalite crystal and one with a Sapphire crystal. I'm told that the Hesalite is easier to scratch, but in the real world, how much is it easier to scratch?I have an older meteorite dial version of the watch and I find it very comfortable and accurate. My wife has a Silver Snoopy version and loves that as well. I think they both have Sapphire crystals.Can I just have some of your views about the two different versions please? Is one recommended over the other etc?Also, what sort of discount could I aim for in the UK?Thanks very much.
