The History of EDOX Watches

The history of EDOX begins in 1884, when Swiss watchmaker Christian Ruefli-Flury founded the company in Biel, one of Switzerland's established watchmaking centres. The name EDOX derives from the ancient Greek word for measuring time, reflecting the company's commitment to precision timekeeping.

During its early years, EDOX developed a reputation for producing finely constructed watches, initially including elegant pocket watches before expanding into wristwatches as their popularity increased during the twentieth century.

As the requirements of watch wearers evolved, the company increasingly focused on practical innovations that improved durability, water resistance and reliability. This approach became particularly important as wristwatches moved beyond formal occasions into professional, sporting and outdoor environments.

Rather than concentrating exclusively on traditional dress watches, EDOX developed a strong association with technically capable timepieces designed for active use. This philosophy ultimately helped establish the brand's reputation within diving, motorsport and professional sports timing.

Today, EDOX remains an independent Swiss watch brand, with its headquarters in Les Genevez in the Swiss Jura. Its contemporary collections continue to reflect the engineering-led approach that has characterised the company for generations.

EDOX and the Development of Water-Resistant Watches

One of the most important chapters in EDOX history is its contribution to water-resistant watch construction. During the twentieth century, the growing popularity of swimming, recreational diving and professional underwater activities created increasing demand for watches capable of withstanding exposure to water and pressure.

EDOX responded by developing specialised case-sealing systems and robust watch designs that improved protection against moisture and environmental conditions.

The introduction of the Delfin in 1961 marked a significant milestone, demonstrating the company's commitment to technical innovation and establishing an important foundation for its subsequent diving-watch collections.

Modern EDOX diving watches continue this tradition through collections such as Delfin, Hydro-Sub, Neptunian and CO-1.

EDOX Delfin Watches

The EDOX Delfin collection is one of the most historically important families in the brand's catalogue. First introduced in 1961, the original Delfin became recognised for its innovative double-sealed case construction, developed to improve water resistance and protection against demanding environmental conditions.

At a time when reliable water-resistant wristwatches were becoming increasingly important, the Delfin demonstrated EDOX's ability to combine practical engineering with contemporary Swiss watch design.

Today's Delfin watches draw inspiration from this heritage while incorporating modern materials, movements and construction techniques. Depending on the reference, the collection includes automatic mechanical models, chronographs and distinctive sports-watch designs.

For customers searching for EDOX Delfin watches, Swiss sports watches, water-resistant watches and heritage-inspired diving watches, the collection offers an important connection to the company's technical history.

EDOX Hydro-Sub Watches

The EDOX Hydro-Sub collection represents another important chapter in the development of the company's professional diving watches.

Introduced during the 1960s, Hydro-Sub watches became associated with robust case construction and high levels of water resistance. Their design reflected the growing demand for reliable wristwatches suitable for underwater activities and challenging conditions.

Contemporary Hydro-Sub models reinterpret this heritage through modern Swiss movements, distinctive case designs and practical diving-watch features. Selected references incorporate specialised crown-protection systems and substantial water-resistance capabilities.

Appropriate maintenance helps preserve the appearance, reliability and mechanical performance of an EDOX watch.

• Clean the watch using a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
• Check the water-resistance rating before swimming or diving.
• Ensure the crown and any screw-down pushers are correctly secured before water exposure.
• Rinse a suitably water-resistant watch with fresh water after saltwater exposure, following manufacturer guidance.
• Avoid operating chronograph pushers underwater unless the manufacturer specifically permits it.
• Protect leather straps from unnecessary moisture.
• Avoid strong impacts and magnetic fields.
• Arrange servicing and water-resistance testing according to manufacturer recommendations.

For professional diving watches, regular water-resistance testing is particularly important because seals and gaskets can deteriorate over time.
