DELMA elevates one of its most iconic designs with the launch of the new DELMA Midland Meteorite, a highly limited edition that combines the architectural geometry of the brand with an authentic fragment of cosmic history. Formed billions of years ago, the Muonionalusta meteorite brings an exceptional natural material to a piece that stands out for both its mechanical precision and aesthetic singularity.
Tonneau Geometry and the Magic of the Widmanstätten Pattern
The Midland maintains the aesthetic codes that define DELMA’s solid trajectory in classical watchmaking. Its striking tonneau-shaped case integrates seamlessly with a stainless steel bracelet, creating a harmonious play of brushed and polished surfaces that alternate defined angles with refined details. The design is completed by the collection’s signature fluted bezel.
The true protagonist lies on the dial. The natural Widmanstätten pattern—resulting from the extremely slow cooling of the meteorite over immense periods—interacts uniquely with the light, ensuring that no two dials are alike. To preserve the visual purity of this extraterrestrial material, DELMA opts for a discrete minute track, applied indexes, and faceted hands enhanced with Super-LumiNova BGW9.
Swiss Mechanics and Global Exclusivity
Beneath the robust 40.5 mm stainless steel case—with a height of 14 mm and water resistance guaranteed up to 100 meters (10 ATM)—beats the reliable Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 caliber. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, features 26 jewels, and offers a 41-hour power reserve. Through the sapphire crystal exhibition case back, the custom DELMA rotor remains fully visible.
Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, the DELMA Midland Meteorite stands out as a truly special collector’s piece, with an official retail price of 1,700 € (CHF 1,500 / USD 1,900).
