Delma Heritage Chronograph 100 Years Limited Edition

Following the success of the sold-out stainless steel Bicompax Heritage Chronograph, DELMA introduces a new stainless steel Heritage Chronograph in celebration of their 100th anniversary.

Chronographs hold a prominent place in DELMA’s history, beginning with the release of their first example in 1946, which established a dedication to sports timepieces. Over the following decades, DELMA excelled in this category, creating specialized models for diving, racing, travel, and sophisticated refinement, consistently blending style with robust performance.

The new tricompax Heritage Chronograph 100 Years LE is a sporty adaption of its early predecessors based on the ETA 7750 movement. Original features such as the Tachymeter, Telemeter and Arabic numerals are enlarged and invigorated with red accents to enhance style and distinctiveness. The vintage inspired cathedral shaped hands and applied Arabic numerals are appointed with SuperLuminova C3 for legibility in all conditions. The date is accompanied by a day tracker for ultimate convenience and punctuality.

The mesmerizing rhodium-plated movement, adorned with perlage and blued screws features a DELMA custom rotor with Côte de Genève which can be admired through the exhibition case back. The smooth Italian leather strap, accentuated with coordinating red stitching, further enhances this dynamic classic. With water resistance up to 100 meters and a scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal, the new Heritage Chronograph is a stylish and practical companion for any occasion. Limited to 100 pieces, it exudes a century of Swiss Made craftmanship.
