Edox Delfin The Original - The Water Champion Watch

Delfin The Original - The Water Champion Watch

The Delfin was to be the first of many Edox models especially suited to maritime activities such as sailing, diving or power boating. Edox set new benchmarks in 1965 with the Hydrosub, a model water-resistant to 500 metres and continued to sell Delfin models up in the 1980s. In 2013, Edox has revived the Delfin for 21st Century watch fans, capturing the spirit of the original model with a classic retro-inspired case but also building on more than 50 years’ expertise in the field of water-resistant watches
