Micky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docent_tecka Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
