PRIM Symbol Damascus - A

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of our family company and its existence on the Czech market, we have prepared a limited edition of PRIM Symbol Damascus watches. The term symbol is based on the word symbolum from Greek origin and usually represents a sign that expresses a deep meaning – in the case of the Czech double-tailed roaring lion which is in the jump, it indicates the Czech nationality, independence and determination to fight for them. Our family company and Czech watch manufacturer PRIM has prepared an original limited PRIM Symbol wrist watch edition made of damascus steel. In the PRIM Symbol Damascus edition of, watches we have combined original and unique materials with sporty design.

Like all of our limited editions of PRIM watches, this one also features several exceptional elements.

The goal of the designers and engineers was to create a sports watch that references the popular Czechoslovak sports watch model PRIM Sport. We have kept the oldest and most famous PRIM logo in the form of the "loaf shape" that is associated with the historically first sports models. The dial of the watch is uniquely made of damascus steel as well as the watch case and the rotatable lunette. The symbolic case made of unconventional material has acquired an exclusive but also very attractive appearance.

The PRIM Symbol Damascus model is designed to meet the demanding requirements and trends of today. The engineers and designers have based their design on the well-proven and elegantly sporty case. The limited series is produced in 15 pcs in black and 15 pcs in silver and blue. The original edition PRIM Symbol Damascus is equipped with the Swiss Sellita SW 260-1 calibre, which operates at a frequency of 28,800 semi-frequencies/h and provides a power reserve of 38 h. The calibre has 31 stone fits, allows for quick date changes and features an off-centre seconds watch hand at 6 o'clock.

The elegantly sporty model with its unique damascus watch dial, ceramic luminescent lunette insert and sculpted indices and lion symbol at 12 o'clock is protected by a high-quality anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass. Fans of sports watches can appreciate the specifically designed sculptured indices with a strong luminescent layer. The limited edition is fitted with the Swiss Sellita SW 260-1 calibre. The case is unconventionally made of damascus steel, closed with a dagger made of 316L stainless steel. Thanks to the specific way of processing the damascene steel, each piece is an original. The appearance of the damascus steel is characterized by its typical dynamic waves, which make the model a truly unique piece. As a matter of course, the sports model features a screw-down crown decorated with the PRIM logo. The model is fitted with original watch hands with luminescent coating, which belong to this model without reservation. This sports watch model is tested for 10 ATM, which is also marked on the watch.

Each of the manufactured watch dials is an original piece of work thanks to its structure, which adds to the uniqueness of the model. The sporty look is complemented by the date wreath, which is in the colour of the indices at the 3 o'clock position. The watch is enclosed by a stainless steel bezel with a limited edition description and a see-through window complemented by the traditional lion symbol, so as to preserve the detail of the working watch movement and the modified rotor weight with the PRIM AUTOMATIC marking. The watch is fitted with a traditional leather strap with the lion symbol and a specially designed butterfly buckle.

The rotating Damascus lunette is completed with a ceramic insert with a strong luminescent layer and so it complements the overall exclusive look of the PRIM Symbol Damascus model. The designers matched the colour of the date wreath with the shade of the indices, which makes the overall look of the watch very compact. Of course, this limited edition comes with a special box, original warranty card and service card.
