Elka Watch Co. is proud to present its latest creation, the Arinis diver's watch, which continues the tradition of the brand. Combining modern design with a rich heritage and inspired by the historic village of Saint-Blaise nestling on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland, the Arinis is a veritable journey through time on your wrist.
A design inspired by history
The Arinis remains faithful to the design codes established by Elka, taking its typical 60s-70s look from the original series. It features a ceramic bezel, luminescent numerals for optimal readability underwater, and water resistance to 20 bars (200 metres).
The name ‘Arinis’ recalls the ancient past of the Neuchâtel region, dating back to 12,000 BC. Marked by the presence of lake-dwelling civilisations, the Celts and the Romans right up to the present day, the design of the Arinis is inspired by this rich tapestry.
Every detail of the watch recounts a part of the past
- The ceramic bezel inspired by Roman ceramics found on the Devil's Path
- The fish engraved on the back, a nod to the fascinating artefacts submerged in the depths of the lake.
- Its name is inspired by that of the village, named by the Romans in the 10th century.
- The hands were inspired by an arrow found on the shores of the lake, dating back to 12,000 BC.

ELKA Watch Co.
ELKA watches are inspired by the times when a product was kept for life. You invested in durability, quality and uniqueness.
The mindset is to step back to that period in the 1960s. To those pure and colourful aesthetics we still remember; back to the magical dreams of the space race, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Woodstock; a return to the struggles, the changes, the rebellious spirit that so marked that decade.
What if we had never really left that decade? What if we went back to it, body and soul, to become once again those enthusiastic and revolutionary people who made society move so much? The same values demonstrated at that time are still strong today. Boldness and elegance are timeless, whether they date from 1960s or the 2020s.
