The collection
It is the eleventh time for our family company that we make this extraordinary sports edition for the fans of Rally Dakar. In 2020, the drivers will race in a new environment and for the first time in the history of the race will visit Saudi Arabia.
Rally Dakar 2020 will start on the 5th of January in Jeddah on the coast of the Red Sea, from where the drivers will endure 12 stages altogether, counting to 9 000 kilometres. At first, the route will go through rocky roads for the drivers to move on to the fourth-largest desert Rub al-Chálí, where there will be dunes up to 250 metres high awaiting the drivers. The race will then end on the 17th of January in the city of Al-Kiddija nearby Riyadh, where a massive amusement park is being built.
Limited edition of sports watches PRIM Dakar 2020 will undergo testing by the ambassadors, who are this year’s drivers Tomáš Ouředníček and David Křípal with Ford Raptor.
Dakar 2020 route: 9000 km – 12 stages – mountains, sand and dunes
DREAM – DARE – LIVE IT
Dakar will start on the 5th of January 2020 in Jeddah, where the organisers prepared an attractive route for the drives, where rocky roads will be followed by the sandy ones, full of inseparable dangers.
Pilots, drivers, and navigators will be accompanied by PRIM watches made and designed by Czech family company on the dangerous stages of Dakar races in 2020. For this occasion, we developed a sports model, which will endure the extreme conditions of the race but will also attract attention with its detailed and sophisticated design. This year’s model of PRIM Dakar 2020 entices because of its new and original design of the dial, which resembles a layered skeleton.
The limited-edition has 200 pieces of watches with an original serial mark on the case of the watches.
As always, we’ve prepared some news for this year’s limited edition of PRIM Dakar 2020. All of our limited editions of PRIM Dakar are famous for few of their exceptional elements. Change is the key to this year’s edition, and that is why we’ve decided to make watches Dakar in new, original colourful combination-brown!

Multipurpose watched with chronograph are made of sharpened stainless steel 316L and are then altered by the IPD method in a new grey matte colour. Swiss quartz machine with chronograph of calibre Ronda 5030.D is inserted into the case. The base of the watches is made of polished stainless steel with original blazon and the motto “Dream, Dare, Live It”. We also worked on the water-resistance of 10 ATM, and we developed a casing with a new threaded crown, which ensures the resistance against water, which the drivers will test in extreme conditions.
Under the durable anti-reflex sapphire glass are a sophisticated layered dial and the windows of the chronograph with the motif of circles. Newly designed yellow hand of the chronograph is completed with the main luminescent hour and minute hands. The new sporty design is ensured by the black ring with CNC inscription of minutes in brown. The length of the measurement is shown on the dial in the position of 9 hours (measuring of 30 minutes). In the position of 4 hours on the dial, there is a window showing the date.
In the position of 3 hours, there is a second hand placed there. In the position of 6 hours is a counter of hours (measuring of 12 hours), around which there is a highlighted circle with the inscription limited edition. The hour and minute hands are covered in a thick luminescent layer for a better reading of time under worse visibility. Watches come with a high-quality leather strap with a delicate detail of a motto and logo completed with two studs and a robust clip with a logo. Watches are delivered with a newly designed original packaging- in a helmet.
