Edox Delfin Returns to the Limelight: Unveiling the 1961 Reissue and the Noveltly of Delfin 1973 Watches

Published: 10 Aug 2026
Back to grace the wrist of the adventurous, the Edox Delfin's reimagined versions of 1961 and 1973 stir the waters once again, encapsulating the brand's horological legacy while embracing modern watchmaking craftsmanship.

Starting out in 1884, the strength of Edox’s watchmaking finesse can be traced through over a century of relentless innovation. One of the jewels in its crown is the iconic Delfin line, famed as the ‘Water Champion.’ It’s an ode to the fearless cliff divers of Acapulco, Mexico who dove from notable heights into the Pacific, surviving the daunting plunge repeatedly - much like the resilient Delfin timepiece.

Now, in a celebration of their brand-defining line, Edox relaunches the original 1961 Delfin, coupled with a new generation based on the adventurous remodel of 1973. These timepieces embody the enduring cornucopia of Edox’s dedicated craftsmanship, heralding the brand’s historic lineage while shedding light on the latest offerings. The new Delfin watches are a testament to the evolution of Edox, traversing its engrained tradition gracefully to embrace the requirements of contemporary horology.

In stark contrast, the 1973 variant doesn’t hold back. The new 1973 Delfin is a blend of bold angles, a daring dial, and harboring a rebellious spirit typical of its time. The redesign captures the exciting essence of the 70s, although it doesn’t mimic the era, staying infinitely recognizable as a Delfin.

Between them, the revived Delfin lines honor both the conservative brilliance of the early 60s and the bold audacity of the mid-70s. They invite modern watch enthusiasts for a retro dive and take them on a voyage through time, underscoring Edox’s journey from conventional watchmaking to avant-garde time-telling.
