Male watches Biatec CS30M - limited edition 30 years Czech and Slovak Republic - blue

30th anniversary of a new beginning

At Helveti, together with Slovak watchmakers from Biatec, we symbolically commemorate, with the limited edition CS30 watches, the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic and 30 years of mutual coexistence of two young republics. The Velvet Divorce of Czechoslovakia, followed by three decades of fraternal coexistence, took place peacefully thanks to the linguistic and cultural closeness of both nations and thanks to the enduring sense of belonging.

Brothers • Forever • Bratia

The limited edition is therefore a reference to a major change in our lives, the reminder of which – especially today – evokes pride in the coexistence of two neighbours, for whom the newly created border is not an obstacle, but on the contrary a source of mutual inspiration and help.

2 republics – 2 models

Members of the Chronomag forum also helped to create the limited edition, and they deserve great thanks. Huge enthusiasm and great proposals by designers from Biatec ultimately transformed the original concept into two separate models that correspond to the entire symbolism. Therefore, you can choose a version with a blue (Biatec CS30M) or white (Biatec CS30B) dial, both with a black and brown strap.

Symbolism of the watch design

• On the dial you will find 2 anniversary symbols: the inscription Československo and the number 30 at the 6 o’clock position.
• 2 leather straps made in brown and black with tricolour embroidery on both sides.
• The transparent case back reveals an inserted silver coin from the oldest still existing mint in the world – the Kremnica Mint.

Inserted silver coin

The coin depicts a map of both states with state coats of arms and an imaginary dashed line of the new border. The marked period 1993 – 2023 and the slogan Brothers – Forever – Bratia indicate the duration and form of the already mentioned shared coexistence of the young republics.
