Delma - 'Santiago Bicolor' - Swiss Automatic Diver's 500M...

Welcome to my Top Swiss Wrist Watches Boutique! Delma Watch Ltd. is a Swiss watch manufacturer with a long and respected history in horology. The company is known for producing high-quality wristwatches, especially sports and dive watches, and has remained independent and family-owned for nearly a century. Founded: 1924 in Lengnau, Switzerland — in the heart of the country’s watchmaking region. Founders: Brothers Adolf and Albert Gilomen, who originally registered multiple watch brand names and eventually used Delma as the company’s principal brand. In 1966 the company was purchased and renamed Delma Watch Ltd., solidifying the Delma brand identity. Since 1996, the company has been led by the Leibundgut family, continuing its family-run tradition. Today Delma is still headquartered in Lengnau and remains one of the few independent Swiss watchmakers still in operation. Delma watches are Swiss Made, emphasizing precision, durability, and craftsmanship. The brand’s portfolio includes dive watches, sports watches, chronographs, and elegant everyday timepieces — all designed and assembled to high standards. Delma gained particular recognition for professional diver watches, starting with models like the Shell Star in the 1960s and continuing today with robust pieces such as the Blue Shark and Oceanmaster collections. Over 100 years of continuous operation, celebrating its centenary in 2024 — a significant achievement for an independent manufacturer. Independence: Unlike many brands owned by large groups, Delma remains independently run, offering creative freedom and distinct design philosophies. Swiss craftsmanship: Delma combines traditional techniques with modern innovations and uses Swiss components and movements. Sport and Diver Focus: The brand has a strong heritage in rugged, functional watches suitable for active lifestyles and underwater performance.
