The ELKA Arinis AF02-0804 reflects the spirit of vintage dive watches from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its deep black dial features round hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova in an “Old Tritium” tone. As a result, the watch delivers strong readability while maintaining a warm retro character. In addition, the ceramic bezel and arrow-inspired hands enhance the instrument-style design.
Moreover, this ELKA Arinis diver pairs beautifully with a cognac nubuck leather strap, which introduces a distinctive contrast against the black dial. Consequently, the watch feels both adventurous and refined. The design itself draws inspiration from the ancient village of Saint-Blaise near Lake Neuchâtel, where archaeological discoveries, Roman ceramics, and lake-dwelling cultures influenced the storytelling behind the Arinis collection.
Beneath the surface, the La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement powers the watch with dependable Swiss engineering. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers an impressive 68-hour power reserve. Meanwhile, the robust 1.4404 steel case, screw-down crown, and 200-meter water resistance make it ready for serious diving. Finally, this ELKA Arinis automatic diver is curated for independent watch collectors in India by VAQT Horology.
