Vintage Delma Swiss Quartz Kuwait Athletics Federation Crest 31mm Watch Box

About this watch

A rare commemorative Delma from the 1990s. The clean white dial carries the full-colour emblem of the Kuwait Athletics Federation (الاتحاد الكويتي لألعاب القوى), a running athlete framed by the colours of the Kuwaiti flag, together with "DELMA Quartz", a dotted minute track, slim gold-tone leaf hands and a framed date window near 2 o'clock.

The 31mm two-tone case is topped by a gold-tone bezel engraved with Roman numerals and closed by a stainless-steel caseback. It is fitted to a white leather strap and comes with its white Delma presentation box.

Brand heritage

Delma traces its roots to 1 August 1924, when the brothers Adolf and Albert Gilomen founded a watch factory in Lengnau, near Biel, Switzerland. Their early watches were sold under the Thuya name; the Delma brand was registered in 1933 and became the company's main name after the Second World War. Delma is still an independent, family-run Swiss watchmaker, best known today for its diving watches.
