ELKA ARINIS AF01W-1001
ABOUT REBELS AND VISIONARIES. Inspired by the times when a product was kept for life. You invested in durability, quality and uniqueness.
The mindset is to step back to that period in the 1960s. To those pure and colourful aesthetics we still remember; back to the magical dreams of the space race, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Woodstock; a return to the struggles, the changes, the rebellious spirit that so marked that decade.
Elka Watch Co. is proud to present its latest creation, the Arinis diver's watch, which continues the tradition of the brand. Combining modern design with a rich heritage and inspired by the historic village of Saint-Blaise nestling on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland, the Arinis is a veritable journey through time on your wrist.
A design inspired by history
The Arinis remains faithful to the design codes established by Elka, taking its typical 60s-70s look from the original series. It features a ceramic bezel, luminescent numerals for optimal readability underwater, and water resistance to 20 bars (200 metres).
The name ‘Arinis’ recalls the ancient past of the Neuchâtel region, dating back to 12,000 BC. Marked by the presence of lake-dwelling civilisations, the Celts and the Romans right up to the present day, the design of the Arinis is inspired by this rich tapestry.
Every detail of the watch recounts a part of the past
