Swiss watchmaker Edox has launched a new model to its SkyDiver series that honours an iconic collection.

The original Edox SkyDiver was a military-themed tool watch made in the 1960s and 1970s. Its modern counterpart is now a mainstay of the Edox watch family. Now the Swiss brand introduces the new SkyDiver Bronze Date Automatic watch (80126 BRN BUIDR).

Measuring 42mm diameter, the rose-coloured bronze case is beautifully complemented by an elegant slate grey/blue dial.

The Edox SkyDiver Bronze Date Automatic oozes a classic vintage dress watch vibe, but it is still built tough. Large, Super-LumiNova-coated indices and hands hark back to the easy-to-read, dial displays of military watches. The unidirectional outer ceramic scratch-resistant bezel provides a practical tool for divers up to 30 ATM.

Beating inside the watch, the Edox Calibre 80 automatic movement is made by Swiss movement manufacturer Sellita.

The SkyDiver Bronze Date Automatic is fitted with a brown leather strap. An additional black leather strap is provided in a leather pouch.

Swiss watch brand Edox marks the 60th anniversary of its iconic Delfin series.

In 1961, Edox launched an exceptional diver’s watch with a patented double O-ring system and a reinforced, pressure-resistant case. Shock-proof and 200m water resistant, Delfin set a new benchmark in water-resistant timepieces.

Now Edox honours “The Water Champion’’ with the Delfin Mecano 60th Anniversary Limited Edition. The new anniversary edition not only goes deeper than the 1961 original (300m water-resistance this time); it also sports some impressive design features and technical improvements.

It boasts an open-worked dial with a distinct rotor design. The Super Luminova coated hands and indices allow reading off the time in low light. The watch houses a skeletonized self-winding movement made in Switzerland.

The Delfin Mecano 60th Anniversary Limited Edition watch is fitted with a stylish 12-sided bezel, a distinctive design that Edox first introduced into its watches in 1973. Each side of the bezel represents one-hour increments. The 43mm diameter stainless steel watch case is coated with black-grey PVD for a beautiful feel on the wrist.

Its transparent, fully screwed case back is protected by scratch-resistant anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The moveable lugs allow the wearer to adjust the fit precisely.

Hydro-Sub, the iconic Edox diving watch from the 1960s, is making a spectacular return with a new chronometer.

The Hydro-Sub Automatic Chronometer Limited Edition blends its new, improved and contemporary characteristics with the timelessly cool DNA of the original 1960s Hydro-Sub.

The new watch is available in a limited edition of 500 pieces, engraved with “one out of 500” on the case back. It has a water-resistance of 300m. The innovations that made the original Hydro-Sub so impressive, such as the screw-down crown with double O-ring seal, have been retained and perfected.

This time though the unidirectional bezel with 60-minute diving scale surrounding the dial is made out of scratch-resistant ceramic. A 2.5mm-thick crystal sapphire with anti-reflective coating on BOTH sides ensures a crystal-clear view of the dial.

The instantly recognizable lines of the original 1965 timepiece are carried through to the Edox Hydro-Sub Automatic Chronometer Limited Edition, from the ‘blocky’ lugs to the vintage-inspired central handset, which includes a long triangular seconds pointer. The dial indices and minute and hour hands are coated with Super-LumiNova.

The Hydro-Sub Automatic Chronometer Limited Edition’s design is clean and practical, focusing on the essentials and discarding unnecessary ‘clutter’. The solid steel bracelet echoes the original Hydro-Sub’s bracelet. Even this has been improved, the matt satin-finish links more precisely aligned and with a smoother finish, ensuring a perfect fit on the wrist. Two pushers easily release the buckle.

The new Hydro-Sub watch comes with a tough, hand-polished 42mm steel case. It is equipped with the Edox automatic Calibre 80. Made by Swiss movement manufacturer Sellita, it provides a 38-hour power reserve. This timepiece meets the strict conditions set by Swiss chronometer testing body COSC.

The new SkyDiver Limited Edition honours the Edox heritage of classic models designed for paratroopers and the military in the 1960s and 1970s. This new timepiece combines the practical functionality of a dive watch and the style and aesthetics of a precision pilot’s watch.

The beautiful case, black dial, striking indices, oversized crown and domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal faithfully reflect a SkyDiver watch designed by Edox in the 1960s. The black dial reflects the precision instruments that once accompanied adventurers conquering land, sea or air.

But the materials and construction of the contemporary SkyDiver Limited Edition are pure 21st century. Military styling runs right through the SkyDiver’s DNA, from its semi-matt finish dial to the solid case back proudly portraying the emblem of a paratrooper unit.

The SkyDiver Limited Edition complements its rugged military vibe with practical functionality for any adventure, be it on land, sea or in the air, including a ceramic, scratch-resistant diving bezel and water-resistance to 300m.

The hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova in beige, another vintage touch, and there’s also a date window at three o’ clock. The SkyDiver Limited Edition is equipped with the Edox Calibre 80 automatic movement, manufactured by Swiss specialist Sellita.

Limited to 600 pieces, the hand-assembled timepiece features a carefully crafted stainless steel case, beautifully offset by a soft leather strap. The buyer also get a choice of two straps, easily swapped via the smartly designed but simple to operate quick-release spring bars on the watch lugs.

The SkyDiver Neptunian automatic watch is a modern interpretation of the legendary Edox SkyDiver watch introduced in 1973. This year, the brand added an Orange dial version of this high-performance diving instrument.

Water-resistant to an incredible 1’000m, the SkyDiver Neptunian is built ultra-tough to handle not only the pressures of the deep but, thanks to its strong and durable stainless-steel case, anything on the surface as well. A 3mm-thick sapphire crystal protects the classic, clean dial encircled by a ceramic bezel. The case back features a striking engraving of Neptune, the Roman God of the Sea.

The SkyDiver Neptunian’s Super Luminova X1-coated hands and indices ensure exceptional dial visibility in low light – or under water. To enhance even more the readability, the new dial is coloured in orange, one of the most visible colors below water.

This professional grade diving watch incorporates a built-in helium escape valve. The SkyDiver Neptunian’s Automatic Calibre 80 movement offers 42-hour power reserve.

Rumoured to be launched following a Swiss colonel secret request in 1973, the SkyDiver collection pays tribute to paratroopers and the extreme conditions they might face – on land, air or sea.

In 1978, the North Sea Divers made a record breaking dive 320m under the icy waters off Norway. Dubbed ‘The Inverse Moon Landing’, it was the deepest ever dive in the North Sea.

The Edox North Sea 1978 timepiece marks this amazing achievement and pays homage to the classic, vintage Edox dive watches of the 1960s and 70s such as the legendary Delfin.

Edox is the official watch partner of these heroic North Sea Divers and the 43mm North Sea 1978 is a rugged, feature-packed sports timepiece that can be worn anytime, anywhere. It is water-resistant to 320m, matching that epic 1978 dive to the metre.

A stainless-steel case, coated in black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) for extra toughness, houses the Calibre 80 automatic movement. The hands and indices are coated with Superluminova for enhanced visibility.

The case back features the North Sea Divers’ official logo – a stylised dive helmet – and the words ‘The Inverse Moon Landing’.
