Sonora Aquatic with A. Schild 2066 movement. One thing I like about this compared to most vintage day/date movements is that the day and date are both quickset.

That’s a beauty. I always loved the story of the Kon tiki expedition in the 70s. I presume this is a limited edition piece that must be quite hard to find these days?
Thanks

Thanks. I happened on it back in late 2014, but I had been looking at a modern Kon-Tiki. I've never seen another one like it, so a case of right place, right time.

Here's the story
