Description

A remarkable vintage Delma Nostalgia Automatic, an exceptionally rare timepiece that combines artistry, innovation, and classic Swiss craftsmanship.

Its standout feature is the turquoise mother-of-pearl dial, which comes alive when tilted under light—displaying a multicolored, wavy shimmer that shifts between greenish-blue and bluish-green tones. This captivating play of light makes the watch feel almost alive on the wrist.

Adding to this dreamlike dial are the amazingly unique golden hours, minutes, and seconds hands, which radiate elegance as they glide smoothly across the mother-of-pearl surface. Their warm golden tone contrasts perfectly with the dial’s turquoise glow, giving the watch an aura of refinement and rare individuality.

The oval case design (43 mm wide × 34.7 mm height × 11.5 mm thick) is framed by a gold-plated bezel and paired with a stainless-steel case and bracelet. The bracelet is both robust and refined, with a uniquely solid yet elegant architecture, and includes an extra extension link for versatile sizing.
