PRIM Orlík is the most fundamental model of the PRIM brand. A watch that was made to order for the Czechoslovak army in 1965. Now it comes in a completely new edition.
The watch has a dial made of real Muonionalusta meteorite, a material that was born before our planet. The bezel is handmade from HyCeram® material; each piece involves dozens of hours of work by our most skilled people.
Inside the watch ticks the in-house caliber Prim 95.
Prim Orlík Meteorit holds several firsts.
The case is made of premium 904L steel, which stands out for exceptional corrosion resistance.
Historically the biggest change for Orlík is the new all-steel strap inspired by outstretched eagle wings. The strap follows the geometry of the case and supports the technical character of the watch. Thanks to this, it looks sporty, but at the same time elegant and comfortable. The new clasp is equipped with micro-adjustment enabling quick length adjustment that anyone can handle.
Meteorite dial. For the first time on a watch with an in-house Prim movement.
Limited edition in three colours, always 50 numbered pieces. The colours Star Dust, Blue Planet and Dark Universe pay tribute to all those who are not afraid of the depths.
About the PRIM Olík 95-111-557-00-1 (Blue Planet) model
The dial is made from a real Muonionalusta meteorite, a material that was born before our planet. Its iron-nickel heart travelled through space at a time when the solar system was only just being formed. After cutting and etching, it reveals the Widmanstätten pattern, a geometric structure that is formed only by extremely slow cooling of metal in space. Thanks to it, each dial is unique. On the surface of the meteorite plates, we manually fit applied indices with a Super-LumiNova® layer. We carefully select each plate so that only those with the most pronounced pattern make it into the watch.
We make the HyCeram® bezel by hand, and the whole process takes approximately one working shift. This is where each bezel gains its character. Grinding is carried out radially from the centre outwards, creating a subtle sunburst effect. The surface thus gains depth and liveliness that changes with every movement of the wrist.
Inside ticks the in-house caliber Prim 95, which can be viewed through the sapphire case back. The view reveals a new rotor with a pictogram and bridges decorated with Nové Město grinding.
For the first time in history, Orlík has its own all-steel strap with a STISK clasp for quick length adjustment that anyone can handle. The design of the very first strap on an in-house watch was created by designer Lukáš Taneček. The inspiration was the outstretched wings of majestic eagles.
Limited edition in three colours, always 50 numbered pieces. Water resistance 200 m.
Colours Star Dust, Blue Planet and Dark Universe.
The model was previously designated 95-111-557-00-1.

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.
