Delbana, a brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1931, has consistently provided refined Swiss timepieces that are both elegant and affordable. The company introduced the stainless steel Della Balda series in 2021, and subsequently a PVD yellow gold variant in 2022, marking a return to mechanical movements and honoring its founder, Goliardo Della Balda. To commemorate its 95th milestone, Delbana presents the Della Balda 95th Anniversary Limited Editions, a collection of four watches that pay homage to its origins while integrating contemporary design and craftsmanship.

These exclusive time-only models prioritize readability, aesthetic harmony, and subtle historical references. The watches feature updated finishes and proportions, aligning them with current tastes. Each timepiece boasts a 40mm diameter case with a slim bezel and a domed sapphire crystal, available in polished stainless steel or PVD yellow gold. The solid caseback is adorned with an intricate historical tower engraving from Delbana’s archives, and each watch is uniquely marked as “One of 95.” Water resistance is rated at 50 meters. The dial, offered in either black or silver, showcases a sunburst guilloché pattern, accented by applied arrow-shaped markers, Arabic numerals with luminous dots, sword-shaped hour and minute hands, and a red-tipped seconds hand. A vintage Delbana logo at 12 o’clock serves as a discreet nod to the brand's enduring legacy.

Powering these elegant watches is the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, a reliable alternative to the ETA 2824. This movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 41-hour power reserve. The Della Balda 95th Anniversary Edition is available in four configurations, pairing steel or gold PVD cases with black or silver dials. Each watch is fitted with a handcrafted Italian leather strap, in black or brown, depending on the specific model. With production limited to 95 units per variation, these special editions are currently available for pre-order, with anticipated deliveries commencing in May 2026. The steel versions are priced at CHF 825, while the PVD yellow gold models retail for CHF 875, offering excellent value for a high-quality dress watch.

The launch of the Della Balda 95th Anniversary Limited Editions exemplifies Delbana’s unwavering commitment to horological excellence and heritage. These watches stand as a testament to the brand's ability to evolve while staying true to its core values, delivering pieces that are both historically significant and relevant for today's discerning collector. They remind us that true craftsmanship and timeless design transcend fleeting trends, offering enduring beauty and precision for generations to come.
