A masterpiece by Czech watchmakers: PRIM ORLÍK 38 DAMAŠEK BRILIANT LE 95-025-516-57-1
The brand-new model from the Nové Město manufacture, which this year celebrates 75 years since the foundation stone of the Czech watchmaking tradition was laid, raises the bar for luxury combined with practicality and durability. In this case, time has become a true testament to the uncompromising craftsmanship and skill of the watchmakers at ELTON hodinářská.
Two variants, two unique designs
One was not enough. The designers and engineers therefore set about creating two designs. Both variants proved sophisticated and elegant from the design stage. The model with brilliant-cut diamonds also proved very distinguished.
In the entire history of the iconic Orlík, this is the first version decorated with stones.
The edition is limited to just 30 pieces of each variant.
Material: Extraordinary Damascus steel.
The case and buckle are made of AUSTENITE. This stainless Damascus steel combines two austenitic, non-hardenable steels. Both components have a low nickel content. It is hypoallergenic and suitable for contact with human skin. Together, they form a captivating whole.
Etching the Damascus steel during its production emphasises its distinctive pattern. Polishing the Damascus steel parts is precise manual work that takes an experienced employee up to 6 hours.
Case: a new construction.
Another new feature is the entire case construction. The delicate yet striking model is complemented by a crown guard. The crown itself has a DLC treatment to make it more resistant to scratches. Its screw-down mechanism ensures safe diving to 10 ATM.
Dials: each one is original
The dials of both variants are perforated and specially lacquered, each one individually. Each is therefore a unique original. The gradual darkening of the colour from the centre towards the edges creates an attractive effect that catches your eye whenever you look at the watch.
The dial variant with brilliant-cut diamonds on model 95-025-516-57-1 adds sparkle and luxury for those who are not satisfied with little and seek an unusual approach to watch design. The two variants also differ in the lettering of the word Orlík. A more technical font adorns the dial without stones, while a script font forms part of the more elaborate style with stones.
Movement: made in the manufacture
At the heart of the watch is the in-house caliber 95, a mechanical movement with automatic winding. You can view it through the transparent case back and never tire of looking at it. The rotor displays the number of your watch in the limited edition.
A testament to precision and passion
Watchmaking at ELTON hodinářská has long since moved beyond the mass production of the past. Today's manufacture-made watches are the result of highly precise work, from design to final assembly, including the production of the movement. All under one roof, without significant assistance from third parties. This is the philosophy behind watches bearing the PRIM MANUFACTURE 1949 name.
To complete the look, there are the straps. Their colours are carefully selected to enhance the beauty of the entire model. And that is not all. The quality and tradition of the tanneries in France, and the values of their owners and workers, are in harmony with our approach to work and the world around us. The manufacturer, from a beautiful area near the Tarn, has a history dating back to 1903. Over time, it has become a symbol of luxury and quality and synonymous with a deep respect for materials, life and nature.
Their investments in innovation and recycling are significant.
“This interpretation of the legendary Orlík watches, whether viewed individually or as a pair, represents a major step forward for me, while fully respecting the significance of this iconic model. The more delicate case, exclusive material, use of brilliant-cut diamonds in one variant and attention to the smallest details are evolutionary and in keeping with current trends. Personally, I can imagine them as a wedding gift, for example, or as watches worn by the couple during the ceremony. Other special occasions for individuals and couples also come to mind, of course,” says Ilona Remešová, product manager at ELTON hodinářská.
Stop dreaming. Start living your legend.
Write a new chapter in the story of Czech watches on your wrist. A story of handcraftsmanship and respect for Czech watchmaking. Of refined taste and admiration for what our people can achieve.
These Orlík watches are also ideal as a matching pair. A gift for newlyweds, parents on their anniversary, company owners, business partners. And for yourself.
The model was originally designated 95-025-516-57-1.

The idea of producing Czechoslovak wristwatches first appeared immediately after the end of World War II. The effort of the management at that time was to limit the dependence on imports, especially from the western states of Europe. Wristwatches were not produced in Czechoslovakia before
In the fall of 1949, Adolf Martínek was entrusted with the task of building a new plant and preparing the serial production of wristwatches, who, in the unused building of the national committee in Nové Město nad Metují, together with the first 15 colleagues, embarked on a task that at the time was handled by only eight countries in the world.
Those interested bought the first Czechoslovak wristwatch in 1958. However, first it was necessary to choose the brand under which the wristwatch would be manufactured.
The PRIM brand was chosen, which at the time was also used for timepieces produced in other plants of the national company Chronotechna. Initially, an identical logo was used for the alarm clocks and wall clocks called the "loaf". Later, however, the graphic form was simplified to meet the requirements for modern dial design. The designer Josef Žid is the author of the so-called "standing" PRIM logo, which has been used on wristwatches since the 1970s. Until the 1990s, part of the designer's work was also the design of watches, which is why Josef Žid was entrusted with the design of the new brand. In addition, the need for a new graphic representation of the brand was supported by the fact that in 1969 the watch manufacturing plant in Nové Město nad Metují became completely independent and acquired the name it bears to this day - ELTON.
Until the 1990s, the New Town plant produced hundreds of thousands of wristwatches a year. However, after the so-called Velvet Revolution, watches from foreign brands began to flood Czechoslovakia - from luxury to the cheapest Asian ones. Interest in primkeys gradually declined and for a while it seemed that the production of Czech wristwatches no longer had a future.
Fortunately, it was possible to gradually revive interest in domestic products. Therefore, it was decided to convert the factory into small-scale production of the manufactory type. In 2008, the production of new mechanical movements began and ELTON hodinářská joined the ranks of important watch manufactures that rely on handwork, precision and an individual approach to the customer.
