DELMA Periscope AUTOMATIC

By TLex I�m not sure why Delma have decided to borrow rather than draw upon their own heritage for the new Periscope�s design �



which is supposed to echo that of their first dive watch of the same name from 1969. I�ve only seen pictures of the vintage Periscope, but there is very little if any resemblance.



The 1969 Periscope was a high water-resistant sports watch. It didn�t have a timing bezel either. I haven�t got a pic, but you could try and Google it.

It could possibly be likened to Zodica�s Heritage SEA DRAGON. Although I like the idea of a new Persicope plus one or two of its features such as the hands �



because of the poor choice of bezel inlay which is aluminum not even Sapphire; this one leaves scratching my head.

Here�s a quick rundown of the new Periscope�s spec. The case, which measures 45.5mm is in Stainless steel and is fitted with a Sapphire crystal.



There�s more Sapphire crystal round the back allowing you to see the Periscope�s ETA 2824-2 automatic movement with custom gold plated Delma rotor.

and a transparent case back, measures 45.5 mm in diameter and is water-resistant to a depth of 500 meters. It�s price is 1400CHF.
