D Series D03 Watch

The Watch

Named after its founder, Hakim El Kadiri, young watchmaking brand ELKA draws on the finest Swiss expertise, combining modern materials and cutting-edge techniques to create timepieces that are lasting, elegant, and reliable. Founded in 2021, it offers dazzling collections featuring on-trend, contemporary models built for everyday wear. From its D Series collection - a line inspired by the clean beauty of the 1960s - Elka presents the stunning D03 watch: a seamless blend of elegance and modernity that's impossible to ignore. Designed for men's wrists, it elevates your style with understated sophistication, delivering a chic look from day to night. Effortlessly versatile, it suits any occasion and proves a dependable everyday companion. Its round case is crafted from 316L stainless steel with a brushed finish and polished details for a timeless aesthetic. It measures 40.80 mm in diameter and 46.50 mm in length with a thickness of 10.80 mm - dimensions carefully chosen for comfortable wear. Protected by an anti-reflective and scratch-resistant Chevé-Box sapphire crystal sitting above the dial, the watch is shielded from daily shocks and scratches while ensuring optimal legibility. A crown at 3 o'clock is at your disposal for setting the hours, minutes, and date. The watch resists an atmospheric pressure of 3 bar thanks to its screw-down case back.

The Dial

Elegantly minimalist, the round dial in anthracite adds a refined, timeless touch to the watch. It shimmers brilliantly on your wrist thanks to its sunray finish enhanced by brushed lines for a striking effect. Two baton hands sweep gracefully across it alongside a slender seconds hand in grey. Moving fluidly, they indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds by pointing to the twelve applied grey indices around the dial. These are represented by double batons at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock and by single batons for the remaining hours. At 3 o'clock, a date window with a white background displays the date. The brand signs its model just below 12 o'clock with its name, the movement type, and the "Swiss Made" label at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement manufactured by La Joux Perret. Renowned for its exceptional quality, performance, and unwavering reliability, the caliber G100 drives the hands and date display with precision. Beating at 28,800 vph with 24 jewels, it delivers a power reserve of 68 hours and provides accurate, dependable display of hours, minutes, seconds, and the date. The movement also features a stop-seconds mechanism for precise time-setting.

The Strap

To maximize styling versatility, the brand offers this timepiece with three different straps. Whichever you choose, they're guaranteed to elevate your everyday look. The lug width is 20 mm.

Perfectly complementing the case, the first strap features a milanese mesh in 316L stainless steel, whose polished finish and clean design lend a timeless quality to your look. It's the ideal touch of modernity and refinement that elevates any outfit and wraps gently around your wrist for comfortable wear. It fastens with a sliding buckle for effortless adjustment.

The second strap in cognac enhances the watch's elegant character with a modern, subtle edge. Crafted from padded suede, it beautifully frames your wrist day after day, highlighting its natural curves with refinement and comfort. It pairs effortlessly with both day and evening looks, complementing your entire wardrobe. It stays securely in place thanks to its 316L stainless steel pin buckle at 18 mm wide.

The third and final NATO strap is the perfect pick for a look that's both chic and sporty. Its stunning beige color adds a more refined touch. Comfortable to wear and crafted in nylon, it's the modern addition that elevates any outfit. It wraps your wrist with finesse and delivers all-day comfort. At 18 mm wide, its 316L stainless steel pin buckle lets you fasten and remove it easily and securely.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 30 meters - or 3 ATM in watchmaking terms - this watch is no water enthusiast. Water is the worst enemy of its delicate mechanism, and our team strongly advises keeping it dry. It'll handle rain or a splash at the sink just fine, but skip the shower, the bath, the pool, and definitely the deep end of the ocean - it much prefers staying high and dry.
