EDOX, SWISS WATCHES COMBINING ELEGANCE, PERFORMANCE AND ADVENTURE
A distinctive presence, carefully crafted movements and a deep connection to the aquatic world: Edox offers Swiss watchmaking in which technical expertise is an integral part of style. For more than 140 years, the watchmaking house has developed watches that combine elegance, sporting character and a pursuit of performance.
On the wrist, this identity takes different forms. A diving watch with an expressive silhouette, an automatic model with balanced proportions or a dial revealing the movement offers a glimpse into the many facets of a brand dedicated to the pleasure of wearing a watch with character.
› Edox: a Swiss story that began in 1884
The Edox story began in 1884 in Biel/Bienne, when watchmaker Christian Ruefli-Flury founded his own workshop. According to the brand’s account, his wife Pauline, delighted by a pocket watch he had given her, encouraged him to establish his own business.
This beginning gives the brand a personal dimension: behind the precision instrument lies the pleasure of creating and passing on a beautiful object. Over the decades, Edox has developed its identity around the wristwatch, technical innovation and a particular interest in water resistance.
› Water resistance: a thread running through its history
In 1961, Edox introduced the Delfin, a watch that marked an important milestone in its work on water resistance. Its construction notably featured a double caseback and a double crown gasket system, delivering a stated water resistance of 200 metres.
The house continued this research with the Hydro-Sub, introduced in 1965 with a stated water resistance of 500 metres. These historic achievements helped establish its reputation in aquatic watches and explain the prominent place diving watches hold in its collections.
› Watchmaking expertise rooted in the Swiss Jura
In Les Genevez, in the Swiss Jura, Edox maintains an approach in which human skill remains essential. Its watches are assembled and regulated by hand by qualified watchmakers.
This attention is reflected in the way each watch is considered as a whole: the movement, case construction, legibility and finishes must work together. Beyond appearance, the pleasure of watchmaking also comes from the details you discover as you observe and wear your watch.
› Sports watches that retain their elegance
Edox’s sporting identity is expressed through the shape and volume of its cases, contrasting dials and distinctive bezels. These elements give the watches a strong personality, while maintaining careful attention to proportions and finishes.
A steel bracelet extends the lines of the case and creates a structured look. A rubber strap places greater emphasis on the sporting inspiration. Depending on the model, an Edox watch can complement a casual outfit or add character to a more formal look.
› Neptunian: a character shaped by the sea
The Neptunian collection illustrates Edox’s connection to the world of diving watches. Its silhouette combines a high-contrast time display, a prominent bezel and a construction that gives the case a distinctly sporting appearance.
The Neptunian Grande Réserve Date Automatic offers an example with its 42 mm case, sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Its Edox 808 calibre, based on the La Joux-Perret G100, provides up to 68 hours of power reserve. This version offers water resistance of 30 ATM, which should be distinguished from the specifications of other references in the collection.
› From the SkyDiver to dials revealing the movement
The Edox world extends beyond a single interpretation of the sports watch. The SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic models offer more compact proportions, while the Delfin The Original Mecano models place greater emphasis on the spectacle of the movement.
The choice of dial changes the way you experience the watch. An understated design prioritises legibility and visual balance. An openworked dial invites you to observe the components and adds a more expressive dimension, appealing to those who appreciate the movement as much as the design of the timepiece.
› Which Edox watch should you choose?
Start by deciding how much presence you want on your wrist. A Neptunian will appeal to those who enjoy a distinctive maritime aesthetic. A more compact SkyDiver offers another way to wear the brand’s sporting identity. To place greater emphasis on the visible movement, explore the Mecano versions.
Then compare the diameter, thickness, strap or bracelet and power reserve. You will find this information, along with the movement and water resistance, in the “Technical specifications” section of each product page. For water activities, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for your chosen model and have its water resistance checked regularly.
