The watch is available in two color variations – elegant black and deep blue, with each color strictly limited to 50 pieces, resulting in a total of only 100 units worldwide. The dial features a relief of the Czech lion with two tails, symbolizing national identity and continuity.

About the model
The limited edition PRIM Symbol T.G.M. watch pays tribute to Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, his legacy, and the values on which he built Czechoslovakia. The design of this model is inspired by Masaryk’s vision of democracy, humanism, and national integrity. This elegantly sporty timepiece features a newly designed textured dial, a ceramic bezel, raised indices, and a subtle embossed lion symbol on the right side of the dial, all protected by high-quality anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Watch enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate the specially designed raised indices with a luminescent layer at their tips. Attention to detail and symbolism are key aspects of this limited edition, highlighted by the inclusion of national colors marking minutes 1–14, as well as the central seconds hand of the small seconds subdial.
The PRIM Symbol T.G.M. limited edition is powered by the Swiss Sellita SW 290-1 movement, with a see-through case back revealing a modified rotor engraved with PRIM AUTOMATIC. The case is crafted from premium 316L stainless steel, available in either a PVD-coated or polished steel finish, further enhanced with brushed and polished details. A screw-down crown, adorned with the PRIM symbol, ensures durability and functionality. The watch features custom-designed hands with a luminescent coating, perfectly complementing the model’s design. This sporty timepiece is rated and tested for water resistance up to 10 ATM.
PRIM Symbol T.G.M. is not only a tribute to Masaryk’s ideals but also a lasting reminder of those who fought for our freedom—from the founding of the republic to the victory in 1945. It is more than just a precise timekeeping instrument; it serves as a symbol of Masaryk’s unwavering spirit, his contributions to the nation, and a legacy that endures to this day. The word *symbolum* originates from Greek and represents a sign carrying deep meaning. In the case of the Czech double-tailed roaring lion in mid-leap, it signifies Czech statehood, independence, and the determination to defend them—a symbol that has been known for over nine centuries. It is fitting to remember and honor it.
Now, back to the symbols featured in this timepiece. In addition to the lion emblem on the dial, framed by a ceramic bezel, a second symbolic element is present on the leather strap. The engraved case back, with a transparent window, displays the Swiss automatic movement Sellita SW290-1, which operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, provides a 38-hour power reserve, features 31 jewel bearings, a quick date-change function, and an off-centered seconds subdial at the 9 o’clock position. The watch also carries dual symbolism. Its design pays homage to the PRIM Sport series, with a stainless steel case (featuring a screw-down crown for 100-meter water resistance) and a bezel reminiscent of the renowned Czech model. Additionally, the distinct PRIM logotype on the dial further enhances the significance of this exclusive limited edition of 2 x 50 pieces.
