Introducing Kortela Valta Unveils the Toka

There is a particular restraint to Finnish design that rarely announces itself, yet leaves a lasting impression through proportion, surface, and vision. The young brand Kortela Valta draws directly from this cultural discipline, approaching watchmaking as an exercise in architectural clarity and mechanical integrity.

This philosophy defines the foundation of the brand’s time-only collection, a line of watches conceived to place finishing, material, and structural harmony at the center of the experience. For its second release, the maison introduces the Toka, presenting for the first time a champlevé enamel dial offered in blue or black.

The stainless steel case presents a measured and restrained profile defined by clean transitions between brushed and polished surfaces. Its diameter measures 38.5 mm, while the thickness remains slender at 9 mm, preserving a refined silhouette. A sapphire crystal caseback reveals the movement, and the case is completed by a knurled pull-out crown.

The dial is executed in champlevé enamel and is available in either black or blue. Its surface carries a subtle sector layout that introduces geometric structure, complemented by polished steel alpha-style hands that echo early twentieth-century pocket-watch design cues. Applied Arabic numerals define the hours, while a precise minute track frames the dial. A small seconds counter anchors the lower half of the composition.

The movement is manually wound and built upon the architecture of the vintage Omega calibre 266, a chronometer-grade mid-century design that serves as the mechanical foundation of the watch. Kortela Valta has extensively reworked this base, reshaping, finishing, and upgrading its construction in-house. It operates at a frequency of 18,800 vph (2.5 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of 43 hours.

The watch is fitted with a black leather strap and is limited to 12 pieces, priced at €25,500, approximately AED 109,400.
