Elka N-Series 36 Field Watch & D-Series 36 Classic
Elka Watch Co. has always regarded design as a living material, capable of reinventing itself without losing its identity. Our ‘Form Follows Feelings’ philosophy is proof of this, offering a more sensual and emotional reinterpretation of the famous Bauhaus motto ‘Form Follows Functions’.
With this 36 mm version, we're not just offering a different size; we're offering a new perspective on our masterpiece,’ says Hakim El Kadiri. "It retains the presence and unique architecture of the original, but in a more discreet, almost confidential expression. It's the same soul, the same formal audacity, in a refined silhouette."
The ‘36’ is a tribute to timeless elegance, designed for wrists that appreciate subtlety without sacrificing character. Every detail, from its specific chevé box sapphire crystal to the legibility of its refined dials, has been meticulously thought out to fit harmoniously into this new diameter. The watch sits remarkably comfortably, asserting its style with confidence.Beneath this aesthetic purity, the ‘36’ houses a heart of formidable efficiency: the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement. With a power reserve of 68 hours and flawless precision, this calibre is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, allowing its sophisticated mechanics to be admired.
ELKA N-Series: The 36mm Field Watch with 1930s Heritage
Meet the ELKA N-Series, making its debut in a captivating 36mm diameter. This collection is a direct nod to the utilitarian charm of classic "Field Watches," drawing its iconic numerals from a legendary ELKA model from the 1930s. It's a true piece of history, reimagined for your wrist today.
The N-Series launches with two distinct and highly evocative dial options:
- A striking matte black, featuring "Old Radium" numerals that evoke a timeless, aged aesthetic.
- A sophisticated parchment-colored beige, contrasted with crisp black numerals for a classic, legible look.
With the N-Series, ELKA Watch Co. continues to bridge a rich historical legacy with contemporary craftsmanship, offering versatile and historically inspired timepieces that feel just right.
The range is also enhanced by two classic ‘D Series’ dials, already popular on the ‘1 Series’. Their adaptation to the 36 mm format makes these designs even more faithful to the models co-developed with Ulysse Nardin in the 1960s: choose between silver with rose gold appliques or midnight blue with rhodium-plated appliques.
