A fusion of traditional motifs inherited from EDOX's archives and a modern skeleton structure.

The 'Delfin Mecano Automatic' is a skeleton watch that embodies EDOX's heritage throughout. Its appeal lies in the intricate internal structure visible through the dial and the precise movement of the mechanism. The automatic movement, EDOX853, features delicate craftsmanship down to the smallest detail, such as a cutout in the barrel to reveal the mainspring.
The dial's cutwork, with its contemporary feel, reinterprets and is designed around EDOX's brand emblem – the hourglass (hour marker). It allows for a full appreciation of the beautiful cutwork art and the intricate movement of the mechanism.

The beautifully polished 12-sided bezel and the screws on the bezel, which give a dynamic impression, are inherited from an archival piece released in 1973. By combining traditional motifs with a modern skeleton watch, the design achieves a look that is both sporty and refined.

Furthermore, the patented crown developed from EDOX's unique perspective and the robust case structure have also been inherited, making it a timepiece befitting the Heritage collection.

This model is available in a total of four variations: two with sporty rubber straps and two with stylish stainless steel bracelets. The rubber strap models feature stainless steel cases with pink gold PVD or grey PVD coating, and a black PVD-coated edge on the stainless steel bezel, creating a powerful and luxurious look. The pin buckle closure ensures a clean look around the wrist and is accented with EDOX's brand emblem.
The stainless steel bracelet models come in two dial cutwork color variations: blue and black. The five-link stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp has been meticulously polished and satin-finished, catching the light and shimmering with every movement of the wrist.
