ELKA's 40.8mm dress watch with the date, launched on Kickstarter alongside the X Series in June 2022 (Monochrome: CHF 999 on the campaign, CHF 1,490 planned retail, deliveries from December 2022). ELKA references read <series><dial number><suffix>-<strap code>: D01 is the silver dial with rose-gold applied indexes and rose-gold brass hands, D02 the blue sunbrushed dial with nickel indexes and hands. The four-digit code after the dash is the strap or bracelet (08xx leather, 09xx NATO, 10xx steel: 1001 Milanese mesh, 1003 rice-grain bracelet), and the price follows it (CHF 1,569 on NATO, 1,625 on leather, 1,662 on steel). An M prefix with "wo" (MD01wo, MD02wo) marks the 36mm no-date D Series, a separate model. The 1003 rice-grain listings of D02 to D06 are on the D Series collection page but not yet in this file. Brand spec: 1.4404 steel case, 40.8mm, 10.80mm thick, 46.5mm lug-to-lug, screwed steel case back, chevé box sapphire with AR treatment on one (unstated) side, 50m. Whether the 10.80mm includes the crystal isn't stated; Monochrome's 2022 Kickstarter spec gave 41mm x 11.85mm and 30m, so the total height may be nearer 11.85mm. Lug width from the 20/18mm strap. The rice-grain bracelet and the Milanese mesh are both offered; their clasps aren't described. Lume isn't mentioned for the D Series. Weight not published. D03 is the sunbrushed grey dial, D04 sunbrushed black, D05 sunbrushed olive green, D06 sunbrushed baby pink and D07 sunbrushed bordeaux (burgundy in the descriptions), each with nickel-coloured applied indexes and nickel-coloured brass hands. Every D01 to D07 spec sheet names the G100 with the date at 3 (the G101 in the page text belongs to a "You might also like" listing). The D03-1001, D05-0901 and D06-0901 spec sheets give 11.85 thick instead of 10.80, with the same 40.8mm diameter and 46.50mm lug-to-lug, so ELKA's own figures conflict and none says whether the crystal is included: thickness is left blank. Straps: the 0808 strap is "light grey" on the D01-0808 and D06-0808 spec sheets but white in the D01-0808 header ("white veau glaçé") and in both photos, so it is recorded as white; the 0810 strap is dark brown in the D07-0810 text but looks burgundy in its photo; the D02-0806 and D03-0806 sheets repeat the 0804 "suede" strap text, while the D04-0806 sheet calls the 0806 strap semi-rembordé cognac leather. The D07-1003 page shows SKU "ELKA D07-1001" under its D07-1003 title, description and rice-grain bracelet spec. D06-0808 and D06-0901 showed "Out of stock" on 2026-10-30. D08 is the sunbrushed baby blue dial ("light blue" in the descriptions) with nickel-coloured applied indexes and brass hands; its four spec sheets name the G100 with the date at 3, and the photos show the date. The D08-0901 sheet also gives 11.85 thick (the other D08 sheets 10.80). The D08-0808 sheet again calls the 0808 strap light grey, while its description ("pristine white leather strap") and photo show white; the D08-0804 description calls the 0804 suede light brown, its sheet cognac.
