Quick TakeThis isn't your grandpa's chronograph. While the Delma Continental Automatic draws inspiration from vintage 1960s designs, its spirit is decidedly modern. The 42mm stainless steel case is a study in contrasts, with brushed and polished surfaces that exude an air of understated luxury. The blue sunray dial is equally captivating, its subtle shimmer playing off the light with every wrist movement. But the Continental Automatic is more than just a pretty face. The automatic SW510 bicompax chronograph movement is a workhorse, offering precision timing and a 48-hour power reserve. And with 100m water resistance, you can take this watch from the boardroom to the beach without worry. Whether you're a seasoned watch aficionado or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, the Delma Continental Automatic is a timepiece that's sure to impress.

DescriptionThe Delma Continental Automatic is a chronograph watch that evokes the style of the 1960s with its clear lines and interplay of brushed and polished surfaces. The 42mm stainless steel case is water-resistant to 100 meters and features a screw-down crown and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The blue sunray brushed dial is accented with silver guilloche subdials and applied indexes with Super-LumiNova C1 lume. The watch is powered by the Swiss-made ETA SW510 bicompax chronograph movement, which has a 48-hour power reserve and 27 jewels. The movement can be viewed through the exhibition case back. The watch comes on a 7-link stainless steel bracelet with a deployant clasp.

The SW510 is a self-winding mechanical movement that uses the energy from the wearer's natural movements to power the watch. It has a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, which means that the second hand sweeps smoothly around the dial rather than ticking in increments. The movement also has a chronograph function, which allows the wearer to time events. The chronograph pushers are located on the right side of the case, and the subdials at 3 and 9 o'clock are used to track the elapsed time. The tachymeter scale on the outer bezel can be used to calculate speed based on travel time.

The Delma Continental Automatic is a versatile watch that can be dressed up or down. It is a great option for everyday wear, but it can also be worn for more formal occasions. The watch is also water-resistant to 100 meters, so it can be worn while swimming or showering. With its classic design and modern features, the Delma Continental Automatic is a timepiece that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
