In horology, "glaive hands" denote a specific hand shape defined by its slender start, gentle mid-section expansion, and sharp, pointed end. Drawing inspiration from a weapon of old, they offer both a distinguished aesthetic and superior legibility, making them a popular choice for timepieces seeking a blend of classic and functional design.

The ELKA N-Series embodies the very essence of the classic field watch, reimagining its utilitarian charm for the modern era while staying incredibly true to its roots. This isn't just a generic "vintage-inspired" piece; it's a direct and authentic reinterpretation of a legendary ELKA model from Amsterdam dating back to the 1930s – a period when the field watch was truly coming into its own.
