Micky Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Could someone tell me why such an elegant , minimalistic , cleanly designed vintage watch is known as Traktor, please? Thank you in advance. Micky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docent_tecka Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) ...hard to say..... The origin of this "nickname" is probably in rear wheel of the tractor (esp. its rear tyre (watched from side) which might be seen very close to the dial of this particular watches). Nowadays, this model (remake) is called "elegant" http://www.prim.cz/kolekce/elegant36 Edited January 1, 2009 by docent_tecka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
