Delma Watch Ltd. – The Midland Chronograph
For the first time, Delma Watch Ltd. presents a timekeeping instrument that embodies all forms and materials ever used by the Lengnau-based Swiss company. Despite its rugged looks and multilayered construction, the chronograph has a surprisingly slim silhouette, underscored by the rounded flanks of the case.

Midland Chronograph
Delma Watch Ltd. not only stands for a legendary past but also for an innovative future. This is clearly expressed by the styling of the Swiss watchmaking company’s latest creation. So far, the venerable brand’s watches reflected a preference for classic shapes, but with its Midland line, Delma now showcases a subtly designed chronograph that deliberately unites all of its characteristic legacy forms and materials. The prominent timepiece is embedded in a steel case with a black PVD-coated steel plate which are screwed together, setting the stage for the notched rotating bezel.
The intelligently configured and conveniently legible carbon dial has separate counters for minutes, seconds, and tenths of a second, a tachymeter scale, and a date display. A non-reflecting scratch-resistant sapphirecrystal glass protects the Swiss quartz chronograph movement inside.
Unquestionably, the charisma of this compact watch is based on the eclectic mix of materials and geometric forms. The interplay of steel with black PVD coatings extends along the intricate bracelet and comes to a point on the crown. The casually elegant watch is water resistant to 50 meters and comes in steel or rose-gold plating.
Fred Leibundgut, the CEO of Delma Watch Ltd.: “Delma looks back on a successful heritage of more than 80 years, and the Midland Chronograph demonstrates how attractively proven and progressive elements complement each other. With this watch, we took on the challenge of consciously blending our perception of tradition, modern design, and material combinations.” (DELMA WATCH press)
