Delfin The Original Mecano Automatic Watch 85303-357GNCAV-VONB

The Watch

Edox has been a name in Swiss watchmaking for years, crafting refined timepieces built on innovative technology. Every creation is designed with meticulous attention to detail, adding an elegant finishing touch to any look - from casual to dressed-up. From its Delfin The Original Mecano collection comes the 85303-357GNCAV-VONB, a timepiece made for men. Its tonneau case features a bezel secured by screws in a dodecagonal shape that defines its bold character. Measuring 43 mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.50 mm, the case is crafted in stainless steel for long-lasting durability. It is finished with a grey PVD coating and a brushed finish for added refinement. A sapphire crystal covers the dial, shielding it from impacts that could compromise its appearance. To allow easy adjustment of the watch's functions, a protected crown flanked by notches with a double O-ring and a knurled profile for a better grip is positioned to the right of this 120 g case. Finally, to ensure 20 ATM water resistance and protect the movement, the brand has fitted this model with a screw-down caseback featuring a transparent display that offers a view of the movement's oscillations.

The Dial

Crafted with exceptional care, this dial brings a mysterious yet elegant character to the watch. Its skeleton finish surface offers a stunning view of the movement's oscillations. At the center, three black hands display the hours, minutes, and seconds. Surrounding them, a green inner ring is marked with a minute track and black and white baton indices for the hours and minutes. All time indicators are treated with Superluminova for easy reading even in the dark. From 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock, the water resistance, Swiss Made designation, and depth rating are noted in white lettering. Finally, in a refined touch, the brand places its hourglass-shaped logo near 12 o'clock, followed by its name in black at 3 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by an automatic movement. Of Swiss origin, it is the proprietary caliber Edox 853, manufactured in-house and based on the Sellita SW200. Featuring 26 jewels, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and running with a precision of 30 s/d, it delivers strong performance for driving the central functions. It offers a solid power reserve of 38 hours.

The Bracelet

This stunning bracelet is the perfect wrist companion for any occasion. Comfortable and durable, it is crafted in rubber, features a striking green hue, and measures 24 mm in width. It pairs effortlessly with any outfit, and thanks to its pin buckle clasp with a grey PVD finish, slipping it on and adjusting the fit is a breeze.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - making it a true companion for deep-water activities. Built for freediving, it handles high-pressure washers without breaking a sweat. Showering, bathing, lap swimming, and freediving are all fair game. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also, avoid operating the crown while submerged to preserve the movement's integrity.
