Ace Jewelers Marks 50 Years With Elka Diversity Series II Limited Editions

MRSTATELESS ELKA, NEW RELEASES 2025, Ace Jewelers, Limited Edition 0

To celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025, Amsterdam-based retailer Ace Jewelers joins forces once again with Swiss watch brand Elka to introduce the Diversity Series II, a pair of limited editions that continue the collaborative project’s mission of cultural inclusivity through design. Limited to just 50 pieces each, these watches are based on Elka’s newly developed N Series case and feature distinctive dials adorned with Hebrew or Eastern Arabic numerals.

Refined Case Dimensions and Improved Proportions

The Diversity Series II introduces a new, smaller form factor that enhances wearability while maintaining Elka’s vintage-inspired design language. The stainless steel case measures 36 mm in diameter, 41.10 mm lug-to-lug, and 10.50 mm in height, resulting in a sleek profile that suits a wide range of wrists.

Compared to the 2023 Diversity Series, this new generation benefits from a thinner build and a 50-meter water resistance rating (up from 30 meters), achieved without compromising the aesthetic or mechanical integrity. The display caseback now reveals the movement inside, protected by a domed sapphire crystal on the front and another sapphire window on the back.

Subtle Elegance in Design

The watch retains Elka’s characteristic smooth, pebble-like silhouette, complemented by sculpted lugs and a signed crown at 3 o’clock. While the face of the watch presents a clean, traditional layout, the case’s side profile reveals its refined, curved architecture — a balance of simplicity and technical sophistication.

The new collection introduces two references. The first, MN03, features a green dial adorned with Eastern Arabic numerals. The second, MN04, presents a blue dial with Hebrew numerals. Both versions replace the minute markings found in the 2023 models with hour indicators only, resulting in a cleaner, more minimal aesthetic.. This design choice emphasizes clarity while celebrating linguistic diversity.

Powered by the La Joux-Perret Caliber G101

Inside the Diversity Series II beats the La Joux-Perret Caliber G101, a Swiss-made automatic movement known for its precision and reliability.

The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offers an impressive power reserve of 68 hours.

The G101 is the no-date version of La Joux-Perret’s renowned G100 and provides a stable and high-performance foundation, perfectly suited to Elka’s philosophy of modern mechanics with vintage charm.

Strap and Bracelet Options

For the first time, the Diversity Series II offers multiple strap options. Each watch is available with a leather strap, nylon NATO-style strap, or a stainless steel beads-of-rice bracelet.

The MN03 is fitted with a brown leather strap that complements its green dial, while the MN04 is matched with a dark blue leather strap designed to echo its dial tone.

Both leather options are fitted with tang-style buckles, while the beads-of-rice bracelet adds a touch of vintage-inspired versatility.

Limited to 50 Pieces Per Model

Each version of the Ace Jewelers x Elka Diversity Series II will be produced in a limited run of 50 pieces, available at € 2,180 when purchased on a strap and € 2,230 when fitted with the stainless steel bracelet.

Notably, these special editions are priced identically to Elka’s standard N Series models, allowing collectors to own a piece of this cultural collaboration without paying a premium.
