PRIM ORLÍK RESPEKT 60 LE

The limited edition PRIM ORLÍK RESPEKT 60 LE is the highly anticipated tribute celebrating the 60th anniversary of the first Czech diving watch model Orlík from 1965. The edition consists of only 60 pieces, symbolizing the number of years these iconic watches have existed.

The Orlík, with its original mission initiated as an independent project by the former Ministry of Defense, fulfilled clear objectives from the very beginning. Resistance to water, pressure, impacts, falls, and temperature changes. It passed. And it continues to push its boundaries.

PRIM ORLÍK RESPEKT 60 LE

60 pieces of humility and respect for the first model. Each bears individual numbering and a certificate of authenticity. 60 pieces of maximum inspiration from the original. 60 pieces bearing, after many years, the iconic bun-shaped logo, made possible by the unification of both companies.

The watch case is made from authentic stainless steel alloy EN 1.4305 (AISI 303), similar to the one used in the original model. Fine sandblasting of the surface and a semi-matte dial faithfully evoke the original appearance. The 6 ATM water resistance and the original 19 mm lug spacing have also been preserved.

Modern elements include sapphire crystal, the in-house caliber 103.00, and a unique bezel with luminescence, manufactured using special HyCeram technology. The screw-down caseback with the anniversary logo is positioned so that all details align perfectly.

The watches are delivered on a grey rubber strap with a clasp featuring the manufacture pictogram, in a box inspired by the original packaging.

The message of the Orlík watches thus remains fully realized. Precision and durability. Reliability in every situation. Attention from those around you, story, charisma.

PRIM ORLÍK RESPEKT watches are not designed merely to recall the past, but are a true tribute to the pioneering model and a collector’s gem that commands respect at first sight.

At the heart of this Orlík is the in-house PRIM caliber 103.00 movement with manual winding. With 19 jewels, it completes 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz).

NOTICE: The watch case is made from EN 1.4305 (AISI 303) steel, the same alloy used in the original military Orlík watches from 1965. However, this steel has different properties than the commonly used 316L – particularly lower corrosion resistance and higher nickel release. Users with nickel sensitivity are advised to exercise caution when wearing these watches.

Inspiration and tribute to the original.

It would be hard to find a greater reason for national pride in connection with domestically made watches than the Orlík model. It stands for durability, strength, and sporty design. In today’s context, it represents history, tradition, and a story that only gains its luster over time. On the contrary.

The new PRIM ORLÍK RESPEKT 60 LE is a tribute to the first one. In the year marking the 60th anniversary of its creation. Inspired by the design and material, it remains traditional while employing modern techniques and innovations.

The material takes center stage. Similar to the original model from 1965. The authentic stainless steel alloy EN 1.4305 (AISI 303), fine sandblasting of the surface, and a semi-matte dial faithfully evoke the original appearance. The 6 ATM water resistance and the original 19 mm lug spacing have also been preserved.

In pleasing contrast, innovations such as sapphire crystal, a unique bezel with luminescence manufactured using special HyCeram technology complement the design beautifully. The screw-down caseback with the anniversary logo is positioned so that all details align perfectly.

And the logo! After many years, the return of the iconic bun-shaped logo for all who never stopped admiring it. The watches are delivered on a grey rubber strap, the clasp bearing the pictogram-symbol of Czech PRIM watches.

The entire commemorative Orlík is packaged in an authentic box inspired by the original one.

Inside the case ticks our own in-house PRIM caliber 103.00 movement with manual winding. With 19 jewels, it completes 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz). The caseback is decorated with the edition number and the Orlík anniversary logo.

The edition consists of 60 pieces.
