Delma 1924 Tourbillon Blue & Salmon

Following the success of the 100-year anniversary DELMA 1924 Tourbillon, DELMA is proud to unveil two new editions, featuring exquisite DELMA blue and salmon grains de riz guilloché pattern dials. These new details elevate the artistry and craftsmanship of a timepiece that embodies our Swiss heritage and celebrates longevity.

Every DELMA watch is conceived with careful attention to style and performance and the 1924 Tourbillon is an elite example. The new editions are a subtle evolution of the exquisite series centered upon our 100% Swiss proprietary movement which epitomizes DELMA's progress and history.

The new DELMA signature blue and salmon color grains de riz guilloché pattern dials add depth and sophistication to an already noteworthy timepiece. Rich in nuanced detail, they surround and enhance the captivating tourbillon movement The applied hour markers, hour and minute hands are palladium, nickel-plated, and lined with white Super-LumiNova® BGW9.

The gravity defying tourbillon positions the escapement and regulating organ within a cage that revolves 360° every 60 seconds. It sits at the heart of the Caliber DT100.01, a hand-wound movement with a prodigious power reserve of 105 hours. Unlike most watches, which feature an index-regulated balance, the DELMA Tourbillons are equipped with a variable-inertia balance, delivering superior precision. The balance is fitted with a shock absorption system and the movement is shock-protected up to 5000 G. Additionally, the Caliber DT100.01 comprises nonmagnetic components including an alloy hairspring and a Glucydur balance wheel, enabling it to withstand magnetic fields of up to 2000 gauss.

Consistent with fine watchmaking, the movement is beautifully decorated. The baseplate is adorned with perlage, while the bridges, visible via the exhibition case back, are embellished with Côtes de Genève and golden text. A sprinkling of blue screws subscribes to the horological tradition, while the movement is ruthenium-treated and dressed in a contemporary dark gray finish.

The 41 mm case is formed of 316L stainless steel. All surfaces of the case are brushed aside from the highly polished beveled edges spanning the top and sides of the case. The crown nestles between the shoulders of a crown protector and is equipped with an attractive grip that facilitates easy manipulation.

Fitted with a stainless-steel bracelet featuring a deployant clasp, the DELMA Tourbillons are supplied in a sumptuous presentation box containing an additional coordinating hand-made Italian leather strap with folding clasp. Quick-release spring bars allow the wearer to switch to the strap, or vice-versa, without requiring the use of tools.

From classic and dress models for lasting appeal to sports and racing watches for extreme adventure, the DELMA Tourbillon collection is the epitome of over 100 years of Swiss made watchmaking.

Limited to only 25 pieces per dial color. Pre-orders from March 18th- March 31st, 2025, or while supplies last for the exclusive price of CHF 9,250 / USD 10,500. Deliveries and availability at select DELMA retailers begin in May 2025 at CHF 12,900 / USD 14,500.
