Founded by Adolf and Albert Gilomen in Lengnau, Switzerland, in 1924, Delma is an independent family-owned Swiss watchmaker known especially for robust sports, racing, and professional diving watches.
Open in The Dial AtlasThe Delma entry in The Dial Atlas currently connects 34 cataloged references across 15 families. The catalog records 1924 as its founding year and Switzerland as its associated country. The maker is organized here as a navigable set of family and exact-reference records. These counts describe the structured archive available on this site, not the brand's complete historical output.
Start with Commander 40 Automatic (4 references), Oceanmaster Lume 41 mm (4 references), Midland Automatic 40.5 mm (3 references), Midland Quartz 40.5 mm (3 references), and Shell Star 41 Automatic (3 references). Each family page keeps related watches together while preserving the reference codes, production periods, variants, and imagery that distinguish one execution from another. This makes the brand page a practical index for moving from a maker-level overview to the evidence attached to an individual watch.
