Edox, founded in 1884 by Christian Ruefli-Flury in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, has established itself as a notable name in the watchmaking industry. The name "Edox" is derived from the ancient Greek word for "hour," reflecting the brand's dedication to timekeeping.
In 1961, Edox introduced the "Delfin" line, featuring a patented double crown seal, reinforced case back, and shock-absorbing movement holder, setting new standards for water resistance and durability. This innovation earned Edox the reputation of being the "Water Champion" in the watch industry.
