D1 Milano and Elan Launch Special Collaboration Watch Focusing on Transparency and Precision

Unveiling the D1 Milano × Elan Collaboration Watch

In an exciting collaboration, the renowned Italian premium watch brand, D1 Milano, has partnered with Elan, a Slovenian sports brand with a legacy dating back to 1945, to introduce a limited-edition watch model, the D1 Milano × Elan. Slated for launch on December 17, 2025, this unique timepiece will be limited to just 250 pieces worldwide and is designed around shared values of precision, balance, and transparency.

A Convergence of Creativity

The collaboration symbolizes a bold intersection between D1 Milano's minimalist design philosophy and Elan’s innovative approach to skiing. Although belonging to different realms—snow sports and horology—both brands adhere to a common belief: the importance of stripping away the unnecessary to highlight the core essence of their craftsmanship. This commitment to transparency transcends mere aesthetic appeal; it serves as a fundamental language, revealing the structural integrity, material quality, and unrivaled accuracy of the watch.

Design Features

The D1 Milano × Elan watch showcases meticulous attention to detail:

- Case and Bezel: Made from stainless steel 316L and finished with a white Cerakote®, showcasing durability while maintaining a consistent white tone.
- Dial: A skeletonized design that visually expresses depth through layered structures. The inner ring is unified in silver to enhance visibility and contrast.

This elegant blend results in a minimal yet contemporary piece, where both disciplines converge under the idea of transparency.
