Elton Sport LE - A

The black matte mother-of-pearl dial is complemented by bold yellow indices and hands, giving the watch excellent legibility and a sporty appearance. The rotating bezel with a countdown scale and a luminous marker not only serves as an attractive detail but also makes measuring time intervals easier. The transparent case back reveals the hand-wound PRIM manufacture movement.

“The new generation of ‘Elton Sports’ was love at first sight for me.

I immediately knew these watches would appeal not only to those who still vividly remember the legendary ‘Sportky’, worn by František Venclovský, known as the ‘Unsinkable Vencl’, when he swam across the English Channel in 1971. They will also appeal to my own generation of mechanical watch enthusiasts. These pieces are just as iconic and elegant as their predecessor. What’s more, the black dial with its subtle metallic effect instantly reveals that the owner is wearing something truly exceptional on their wrist.

This becomes even clearer when the watch is turned over and the movement is revealed. There is something almost transcendental in the hypnotic motion of the mechanical gear train. One cannot help but marvel at the fact that this delicate assembly of precisely crafted components, created by master watchmakers from Nové Město nad Metují, measures something as intangible as time.

For me, this is a watch that simply must not be missing from your collection. However, only 49 of you will succeed, because I will definitely be buying one of the 50 pieces myself. So if you are considering it, I would not wait too long in your place.”
