Vintage Edox Hydromatic Automatic 25J Navy Blue Dial Date 33mm Swiss 1960s Watch

Vintage Edox Hydromatic Automatic, 25 Jewels, Midnight Blue Dial, Date, 33mm, late 1960s–early 1970s

Midnight blue with one well-judged splash of colour: a vivid orange centre seconds hand. Applied silver-tone baton markers, slender matching hands and a framed date window at 3 o’clock complete a compact, sharply lugged 33mm watch on a navy leather strap.

Brand heritage

Edox was founded in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, in 1884 by watchmaker Christian Rüefli-Flury. The brand made its name in water-resistant watches, notably the Delfin of 1961 with its double-gasket crown and the Hydro-Sub diver of 1965, and later for inventive pieces such as the Geoscope world timer of 1970.

Model history

Hydromatic was the name Edox gave to its water-protected automatic watches of the 1960s. This example carries an Edox-signed 25-jewel self-winding movement, shown in the photographs, in a screw-back case, and dates to roughly the late 1960s or early 1970s.
