Curved dial- for ELKA X and D models - Curved hands for ELKA  X and D models; numbers filled with Superluminova only on ELKA X models. Swiss Super-LumiNova® pigments are the choice of the Swiss watch industry for the highest possible afterglow performance. Swiss Super-LumiNova® is non-radioactive, REACH compatible, highly temperature resistant and resistant to environmental influences. It works like a light storage battery where light charges the battery and subsequently the light is continuously emitted. This activation and light emission process can be repeated indefinitely since the material suffers no ageing. It is chargeable with either sunlight or artificial light. Mixed with a suitable specific binder, Swiss Super-LumiNova® is applicable to dials and hands.</description></item><item><title>Nato Straps: Durable Nylon Bands for All Conditions</title><pubDate>2020-01-15 00:00:00</pubDate><link>https://www.elkawatch.ch/features-of-the-arinis/how-to-make-extra-money</link><description>Discover the legendary durability of NATO watch straps, originally developed for the British Army in 1973.
