Edox Delfin 1961 – Automatic Watches Limited Edition

The Edox Delfin 1961 collection celebrates the return of one of the most important creations in Edox's history, reinterpreting the legendary timepiece introduced in 1961. Sixty-five years after the Delfin was born, Edox reintroduces the distinctive original design in a modern automatic version that retains the identity and technical solutions that made this collection an icon of Swiss watchmaking.

The Delfin was born with a particular focus on water and shock resistance, becoming one of the symbols of Edox's technical innovation and contributing to the birth of the nickname “The Water Champion”. Among its historic features is the double-caseback construction, designed to protect the movement from shocks, along with the crown system with a Double O-Ring, developed by Edox to improve the watch's sealing.

The new Delfin The Original 1961 Date Automatic Limited Edition retains this heritage approach within a contemporary stainless steel case measuring 41 mm, with a thickness of 12.7 mm and sapphire crystal. The screw-down crown and case construction allow for water resistance of up to 200 meters / 20 ATM, confirming the model's sporty vocation.

The collection is offered in two interpretations, with a black or white/cream dial, both characterized by a minimalist aesthetic strongly inspired by the original. The luminous markers and hands ensure good readability, while the date window at 3 o'clock adds a practical function to the display of hours, minutes, and seconds.

Inside the case is the Edox Caliber 80, based on the Sellita SW 200, a Swiss Made automatic movement with a date display, chosen to combine reliability, robustness, and ease of maintenance. The mechanical movement completes a proposal that aims to remain true to the spirit of the original Delfin without compromising on the features required by a modern automatic watch.

Particularly interesting is the exclusivity of the new references: each of the two versions is limited to just 265 pieces. Each watch is also presented in a special box dedicated to the historic reissue and accompanied by an additional leather strap, emphasizing the celebratory character of the collection.

The Edox Delfin 1961 is therefore a collection dedicated to those looking for a Swiss automatic watch capable of combining heritage, technology, and timeless design. A true tribute to a model that helped build Edox's reputation as a specialist in water-resistant watches.
