About the collection

In the PRIM watch collection, we honor significant figures in our history who have contributed to the creation of our country and its glory beyond our borders. The PRIM watchmaking family business has for the first time in history prepared a limited series of watches dedicated to the Slovak personality M. R. Štefánik and his fans. To mark the twentieth anniversary of our family company and its existence on the Slovak market, we have prepared a limited edition of PRIM Štefánik watches.

If you’re looking for a watch for leisure, with an interesting story behind it, and a history, but also a stylish one – then look no further than the new PILOT limited edition ŠTEFÁNIK L.E. Its austere elegance and timeless functional design make it the most sought-after choice for all occasions.

“Believe, love, work.”

A watch dedicated to M.R. Štefánik and his fans.

As exceptional as the story of the PRIM brand, which we have proudly continued for 22 years, is the life journey of Milan Rastislav Štefánik (1880-1919). The essential personalities of the Czech history have been an inspiration for us for many years and so we decided to present the first exclusive limited edition dedicated to the Slovak politician, astronomer, diplomat and, last but not least, pilot, who was one of the first people to explore the beauty of the Slovak landscape and the surrounding countries from the deck of his plane.

This limited edition watch is produced in a total of 50 pieces, with each colour variant bearing its own limited edition number. The calibre NE86 is used in this edition of the watch which is one of the most interesting chronographs with perfect precision.

(1880-1919)

Milan Rastislav Štefánik

Milan Rastislav Štefánik led a enchanting, remarkable and adventurous life and this pilot model of PRIM watches is intended to be a unique reminder of this important personality of the Slovak history.

A personality whose importance lies not only in his decisive contribution to the establishment of the first free common state of the Czechs and Slovaks. He is also the first Slovak to influence European politics through admirable diplomacy. With his ideas, opinions and actions, he can be seen today as the first “European”. He was a strong personality despite his fragile health, unusually suggestive, deeply faithful, eager for truth and knowledge. He summed up his ethical, moral credo and his love for his nation in three words, “Believe – Love – Work” and he truly lived it. This is the relevance of the legacy and greatness of General Milan Rastislav Štefánik.

About the model

Exclusive pilot mechanical watch with chronograph and automatic winding. The case is made of 316L stainless steel in a combination of gloss and matt. True connoisseurs will appreciate the calibre NE86A (Seiko) used. It took over 2 years to produce the caliber itself for our order. It is a fine watch movement that came on the scene in August 2014.

It features a modern high frequency with a power reserve of over 45 hours, a high number of stone settings (i.e. 34 synthetic rubies) which reduce possible friction of the shafts and other components. The caliber has a modern construction, is accurate and reliable, also the owner will appreciate the gentle operation of the chronograph pushers.

With the PRIM Štefánik watches we decided to use a modern look with traditional pilot elements, the watch is thus an attractive addition to the wardrobe. The design of the watch was made by the designers of our studio, who carefully selected the colour combinations and materials for this timeless model. The designers of our manufactory designed a unique polished font of numerals, which was then specially produced for our limited edition.

The dial itself has been given a classical, elegant finish, creating a unified whole that is highlighted by the hand-cut, faceted Arabic numerals along with the minute scale. The dial itself is complemented by the symbolism of the falcon – the Cross of Milan Rastislav Štefánik. Another of the elaborate details of the model itself is the signature of M.R.Š. above the 6h position.

Cross M. R. Štefánika

The M. R. Štefánik Cross is a Slovak honour named after Milan Rastislav Štefánik. It is given by the President of the Slovak Republic on the proposal of the Slovak government. The honour is given to citizens of the Slovak Republic who have contributed with their own life to the defence of the Slovak Republic, to the saving of human life or to the saving of significant material values.

“To believe the truth, to live the truth and to defend the truth.”

The finish of the watch will impress everyone around you and leave a real impression. The sophisticated lines of the larger 45mm case and the originally designed pilot crown give the watch the right elegance. This exceptional watch is made with the highest precision and impresses with its luxurious workmanship. The overall look of the pilot watch is emphasized by the watch hands used, which belong to the model without reservation.

The pilot’s distinctive dynamic elements can be seen on the front of the elaborate dial. The pilot hands, minute indices and squares are covered with a super lumini Japanese coating to allow for counting time in reduced visibility. The date window at the 6 o’clock position unifies the overall design of the watch. The watch is equipped with a high quality anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass with anti-touch coating. The watch is matched with a leather strap with a sturdy buckle.

The limited edition is made in only 50 pieces, with each colour variant bearing its own limited edition number on a specially etched watch face. The designers have placed a portrait of M.R. Štefánik on the watch face along with his signature and his most famous saying “Believe, love, work”.  This luxury watch comes with a certificate and a warranty card in a special box. So if you love aviation and/or are looking for a timeless functional design, this watch is made for you.
