DELMA CONTINENTAL

The Swiss watch maker DELMA presents Continental, a new timepiece inspired by the brand’s Bi-compax chronographs launched in the 1960s.

With this reissue, the independent Swiss brand celebrates a time when technical progress was to ensure peace and prosperity for new generations. Characterized by optimism, the 1960s saw numerous technological innovations and bold designs that have become iconic.

Its case, defined by the clear lines and edges, combined with the interplay of brushed and polished surfaces, lends the Continental a sporty yet elegant look, typical of the 60’s.

The unique 7 link bracelet is appointed with a brushed top surface and polished flanks. Completed with a butterfly clasp with pushers, it creates a luxurious appearance which is also light weight and comfortable to wear.

The elegant sunray-brushed dial is harmoniously in balance with its two guilloche counters, the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, small seconds counter at 9 o’clock and its date window at 6 o’clock.

The applied indexes with luminous markers, the Tachymeter and red central seconds hand complete the nostalgic look while the classic crown and chronograph pushers enhance precision and style.

The Continental is available in the classic panda and reversed panda options as well as in vibrant blue, green and brown with silver counters.

The Continental is powered by a customized automatic Bicompax Sellita SW510 movement or a quartz Ronda Z50 movement.
