The latest Continental Pulsometer series by Delma comprises four Bicompax Chronograph models that nod to the watchmaker’s iconic 1960s racing chronographs.

Arriving in black or silver sunray-brushed dials, the new Continental Pulsometer boasts a 42mm stainless steel case, and a piston-style pusher, complete with a narrow sloping bezel design. The watches are completed with black guilloche pattern counters, sporty red accents, and are paired with either a 7-row stainless steel bracelet or leather strap.

As a family-owned Swiss horologer, Delma has been delivering sophisticated timepieces of premium quality since 1924, in which they have built a solid reputation for their rugged sports watch — specifically for diving, racing, and flying. Likewise, the new timepiece’s dial is outfitted with a pulsometer, tachymeter scale as well as a telemeter to measure speed, distance, and heart rate. It’s powered by the Sellita SW510 automatic calibre, a cam-operated bicompax chronograph movement with a custom rotor by Delma that offers up to 48 hours of power reserve.

Release as a permanent collection, the stainless steel bracelet versions are priced at €2,600 EUR (approximately $2,791 USD), while the leather strap edition retails for €2,550 EUR (approximately $2,737 USD). To find out where to purchase the Continental Pulsometer collection, visit Delma’s official website for details.
