1970s Vintage Delma of Switzerland Automatic 25 Jewels Date Watch 38mm Steel

About this watch

A 1970s Delma automatic with real colour. The dial fades from golden amber at the centre to a darker tone at the edge and is signed with the Delma crown, "of Switzerland", Automatic, 25 Jewels, Incabloc and Swiss Made. Applied silver baton markers, baton hands and a framed date window at 3 o'clock complete the clean layout.

The 38mm stainless-steel case has an angular barrel shape typical of the decade, with a screw-down caseback. Inside is a Swiss automatic movement marked 25 Jewels Swiss Made, shown in the photos. It is fitted on a grey canvas strap.

Brand heritage

Delma's story begins in 1924 in Lengnau, Switzerland, when Adolf and Albert Gilomen founded A. & A. Gilomen S.A. The company first made movements and parts for other brands before turning to complete watches, and the Delma name was registered in 1946. Delma became known for its dive watches of the 1960s and 1970s and has remained an independent, family-owned Swiss watchmaker.
