A centenary house, woke up with care
Founded in 1918 in Granges (Soleure), Eska was long broadcast in Europe as on American and South American continents before turning off in 1987. The brand is reborn today under the impulse of Christophe and Sinichawith a clear guideline: reinterpret Historical signatures with a contemporary eye. The amphibian 250, inspired by the enigmatic amphibian 600 of which Four copies Only are known, paved the way; It is now in permanent collection alongside the White Shark And Black Sharkand limited editions like the Red Viper.
Smoked green dial: depth and readability
There Green Turtle is not satisfied with a new shade: his smoked green dial At darkened edges accentuates the feeling of relief. Construction sandwich and oversized Arabic figures at the four cardinal points remain the signature of the model, seconded by a second hand lollipop has green tip – Maliciously matching detail. On the glasses side, Eska reviews the insert and replaces the intermediate stick indexes with small full cubes For a more graphic reading.
