PRIM Orlík Arma LE

The Orlík watches will appear in Arma Reforger. As an authentic proof of the era and a reliable companion. The first Czech watches in a Czech game that conquered the world long ago. Thanks to the close and friendly cooperation with the team at Bohemia Interactive, whose valuable advice, enthusiasm and expertise were truly inspiring, they will not remain only in the game. They stepped out of the virtual world in the form of our limited edition.

We produced exactly 128 pieces of durable mechanical watches with an in-house automatic PRIM movement set inside a lightweight titanium case. The case back is decorated with instructions for determining north using the compass bezel. The number 128 is the seventh power of two, a perfect power composed of two prime numbers. Its symbolism refers to the world of computer game creators, where the binary system plays a crucial role. Equally important, however, are precision, accuracy and attention to detail. This is the intersection between the world of computer games and the world of mechanical watches.

What is most fascinating is the way they are created. In the case of the Nové Město PRIM watches, it usually begins with a sketch, an idea transferred onto paper. Technical drawings are prepared and materials are refined. Once all feasible visualisations are approved, the creation of the very first piece begins. Based on it, any necessary adjustments are made and production itself starts. At the same time, discussions continue regarding the packaging and what it will contain. Thousands of thoughts, hours of consideration and searching. Any result other than perfection is unacceptable.

Creating a game awaited by hundreds of thousands of players around the world. Designing environments, functionality and logic. Developing strategy and evaluating it. Building upon previous versions that set a high standard. Meeting the expectations of a demanding community. Incorporating currently available technologies while creating a 100% realistic environment. Dozens of kilometres walked in the field, exploring locations that will be reflected in the game. All for perfect logic and authenticity. As you move through the game, everything somehow feels familiar. Is it the clock on the wall, the interior of a pub or the church in the square? Behind all this are billions of seconds of work that cannot be created solely behind an office desk. Player movements with an emphasis on the naturalness of human motion, speed, precision, tactics and objectives. And time, which plays a key role. Time measured by our “Orlík” watches.

Just like the game itself, the limited PRIM ARMA edition has been refined to perfection, including its packaging. Inside, you will find a set of the famous dog tags, one of which contains a unique code for launching the game Arma Reforger. A knife produced by the Czech company ANV, decorated with a contour map of a specific in-game location, bears the same unique limited edition number as the watch itself. The olive green rubber strap can be replaced with an additional black NATO strap.
