PRIM Repre: The Return of a Legend in a Modern Interpretation
Did you know that the most famous model in Czech watchmaking history—the Diplomat—was originally intended to be named REPRE? Today, we return to this legendary name with a new collection that marries 1960s aesthetics with the demands of the modern man. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a formal accessory with a rich story, timeless elegance, and unmistakable character.
Design That Defined an Era
The Repre model draws from the finest traditions of the past. Its lacquered dial, featuring a motif inspired by the 1960s, is complemented by a subtly decorated bezel and raised indices that create a captivating play of light and shadow, adding depth to the watch face. This vintage appeal and the representative 42 mm case diameter are further highlighted by a stylishly domed crystal made of durable hardened mineral. For particularly demanding owners, we also offer the option of a custom sapphire crystal upgrade.
Slim Mechanics and Premium Materials
Beneath the elegant exterior lies high-end technology: the premium Japanese Miyota 9015 caliber from the Premium Slim series. Thanks to its low-profile construction, the watch maintains an exceptionally sleek silhouette that slides effortlessly under a shirt cuff, while its precise movement provides a reliable power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The case, crafted from polished 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, is sealed with a case back featuring a unique production number, making every single piece a collectible original.
Everyday Comfort and Style
To ensure the watch excels at both formal social events and daily wear, it features 5 ATM water resistance, providing reliable protection against moisture and rain. The watch is elegantly secured to the wrist by a high-quality genuine bovine leather strap. The final touch of sophistication is the signed crown featuring the traditional "P" symbol, representing the endless flow of time.
PRIM Repre is more than just a watch; it is a piece of history on your wrist that never goes out of style.

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.
