Eterna Diver Chrono Ref. 154 FTP (Cal. Valjoux 72 / 1491K) – Circa 1969 – The Quintessential 1960s Tool Chronograph

We are proud to present this striking Eterna Diver Chronograph, Ref. 154 FTP—also known as the Eterna 1491K—powered by the legendary Valjoux 72 movement. Produced circa 1969, this rare chronograph captures the perfect balance between mid-century precision engineering and adventurous dive aesthetics, making it a true collector’s gem.

Heritage & Design

In the late 1960s, Eterna was among the few Swiss maisons daring enough to merge professional dive capability with refined chronograph design. The Ref. 154 FTP epitomizes this era’s tool-watch innovation: bold, functional, yet effortlessly stylish. Its 41mm stainless-steel case, complete with round waterproof pushers, delivers the robust proportions associated with professional-grade instruments of the period—without compromising wearability.

The grey dial sets the tone, beautifully accented with black and blue details and warm, mustard-colored aged tritium plots that evoke the character and depth only decades of natural patina can produce. The rotating bi-directional bezel, perfectly faded with age, complements the instrument aesthetic while preserving its tactile charm.

Features & Condition

Dial: Original grey dial with contrasting sub-registers in black and vivid blue accents. The naturally aged tritium lume has developed a gorgeous golden hue, consistent across plots and hands—honest and untouched.

Case: Stainless steel, 41mm diameter, 15mm thickness. Strong lines and original geometry retained with only minor surface wear. Bezel turns freely in both directions as intended.

Movement: Manual-wind Eterna Caliber 1491K (based on the renowned Valjoux 72), freshly inspected and functioning accurately. Known for its robust chronograph column-wheel construction, this movement is celebrated among collectors for its reliability and smooth engagement.

Crystal: Original plexiglass, preserved with light signs of wear—adding to its authentic vintage charm.

Crown & Pushers: Original unsigned crown paired with the period-correct waterproof round pushers, all operating flawlessly.

Bracelet: Fitted on the rare original Eterna steel bracelet with full links—allowing a maximum wrist length of over 20cm. A detail seldom seen intact today.

Why Collect This Watch?

The Eterna Diver Chrono Ref. 154 FTP stands as a quintessential representation of late-1960s Swiss tool-watch design: purposeful, mechanically sophisticated, and visually compelling. Its combination of the legendary Valjoux 72 movement, dive functionality, and original bracelet make it an exceedingly desirable and complete example.

A genuine "tool watch" from the golden age of mechanical chronographs, this Eterna embodies both rugged functionality and vintage soul. For collectors seeking an authentic, well-preserved chronograph with dive heritage, this Ref. 154 FTP offers a rare opportunity to own an instrument of pure 1960s spirit—uncompromised and original in every detail.

Seat width short (Not tall people friendly) Very nice otherwise.
Color: Beige
I like the chair a lot. It’s very sleek and modern. One problem I have with it tho is the width of the seat. I am 5’9 and not necessarily a petite woman and when I do sit cross cross I seem to hang off the front. I do like that I can sit cross cross even with the sides of the chair up but the fact that I hang off the front is a bit annoying. There are plenty of other ways to sit on it tho and being able to maneuver it to where I can sit different ways is nice. I would say that this chair isn’t exactly tall people friendly. Also pay attention to the height and width of your desk because it isn’t exactly universal to fit under a normal desk. It is also super easy to put together and instructions are clear. Also as expected the back of the seat is a bit short and personally for me I like that a lot but word of caution for others that want the back of the chair to go up their entire back. I like it shorter because I’m able to sit sideways and have one side of the chair up and the other down and using the back rest as an arm rest. I did just buy it and am slightly concerned for it to not last purely because the manual said not to use it if it squeaked of creaked and it does both of those things. But I will still be using it until it breaks or it’s life span ends. It also seems very easy to clean the crevices are very short and you are able to wipe things out with ease.

Really comfortable upgrade from my old desk chair
Color: Beige
My old desk chair had been getting pretty uncomfortable, so I decided to replace it with this white one. After using it for a few days, I can definitely say it’s been a really nice upgrade for my workspace. My old chair was starting to feel stiff and uncomfortable after sitting for a while. This one is a lot wider and softer, which I really appreciate. Sometimes I sit cross-legged when I’m working on my laptop, and this chair actually has enough space to do that comfortably. The flip-up arms are also really practical. When I’m not using them, I just flip them up and push the chair under my desk. My workspace feels a lot less cramped now. The wheels roll smoothly and the height adjustment was easy to set up. I also didn’t expect to use the side pockets much, but I’ve been keeping a notebook and my tablet there, which is actually pretty convenient. I mainly bought the white color because I wanted something simple for my home office, and it looks really clean in the room. After switching from my old chair, working at my desk has been a lot more comfortable. It’s been great for longer work sessions, and overall I’m really happy I decided to get this one.
