Vintage Delma 300M Quartz Diver – Black Dial with Tritium Markers – Rotating Bezel – Swiss Made – 38mm – 1980s

A vintage Swiss dive watch from Delma. The black dial has large luminous markers, with a triangle at 12, round dots and batons, a framed date window at 3 o'clock, a "Mercedes" style hour hand, luminous minute hand and red centre seconds hand. It is signed with the earlier Delma logo, "300M Quartz" and "T Swiss Made T", indicating tritium lume. A black 60-minute diving bezel with coin-edge grip surrounds the dial. The stainless steel-tone case measures approximately 38mm, with a screw-down back carrying serial 467988. It is fitted with a later black croc-embossed leather strap and comes with a Delma wooden presentation box of a later period.

Brand heritage

Delma was founded in 1924 in Lengnau, Switzerland, by the brothers Adolf and Albert Gilomen, and adopted the Delma name in 1966. The company remains independent and family-owned, and has been known for its dive watches since the Periscope of 1969 and the Shell Star of 1975.

Model history

Following its mechanical divers of the 1970s, Delma added quartz dive watches to the range in the 1980s, keeping the classic tool-watch layout of rotating bezel, large luminous markers and screw-down caseback. The 300M marking on the dial is the factory depth rating of the model.
