Swiss watch brand Edox has released the Delfin Diver Date Lady Special Edition watch to mark its partnership with Marianna Gillespie, the world No.1 female freediver.

The current French national record holder in multiple disciplines, Marianna has been world champion four times, ranked No. 1 in the world six times and has also won the prestigious Vertical Blue competition. Known as ‘the mermaid from the East’, Marianna is one of the world’s strongest freedivers, ranked not only in the world top 10 in multiple individual disciplines but overall. Marianna Gillespie is a brand ambassador of Edox.

First introduced in 1961, the innovative Edox Delfin with its patented double O-ring system and reinforced case, set the benchmark for water-resistant watches. The patented double seal meant that even with the crown open the Delfin was water-resistant. The watch was a smash hit, and Edox forged a name as the Water Champion.

The new Edox Delfin Special Edition, like the original, is water-resistant to 200 meters. Its Caribbean-blue dial is set with eight shimmering diamonds and protected by a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

The stainless steel case measures 38mm. Its flexible lugs allow comfortable fitting on either small or larger wrists. The striking, 12-sided shaped bezel harks back to a distinctive design first introduced by Edox in 1973. In low light, or under the water, the time can be clearly read thanks to the Super-LumiNova-coated hands.
