Krujë

We honor Krujë with a 42MM matte-olive dial, surrounded by a gun stainless steel case. The dial is engraved with a classic shiny-red eagle. The black Italian genuine leather strap is of the highest quality and the classic eagle and logo are engraved on the back case, crown, strap and buckle.

As the first capital city of the Albanian State, and the birthplace of our national hero - Skenderbeg, Krujë was the main center of the Pricipality or Arbër in the Middle Ages (circa 1190) and the capital of the Principality of Kastrioti in 1443. Krujë was inhabited by the Illyrian tribe Albanët, from which the name of Albania is derived today.

It is located near an Iron Age Illyrian site of Zgërdhesh and is home to many museums – the most important being “The National Museum of Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu,” – Skenderbeu is the Albanian national hero. One of the most iconic landmarks in Krujë is Krujë Castle, from which Skenderbeu defended Albania from invasion by the Ottoman Empire – consequently for two decades (1450, 1466, 1470.) Today, Krujë is one of the most visited towns in Albania.
