The Delma Shell Star Titanium is an exciting evolution of the signature collection which demonstrates the power of embracing professional insights, new technology and materials. The Shell Star Titanium is lightweight, robust and conspicuous, making it ideally suited for free diving and recreational pursuits. When Delma first introduced the Shell Star in 1975, it was the brand’s first professional divers’ watch. Nearly 50 years later, the Shell Star collection represents Delma's dedication to excellence and innovation in Swiss Made divers’ watches.
Weighing in at only 136g, the strength and durability of the Delma Shell Star Titanium are elevated, thanks to titanium’s natural tenacity and corrosion resistance. Coupled with compact proportions for a divers’ watch at 41mm in diameter and just 13.6mm thick, it is exceptionally comfortable and enjoyable to wear. In order to reduce the size significantly, but remain undeniably a Shell Star, each feature was carefully analysed and reconfigured for design and clarity.
Two types of lume - bright blue glowing SuperLumiNova BGW9 to accentuate the bezel, and neon green glowing SuperLumiNova C3 for the indexes and hands - were chosen for outstanding legibility. The Shell Star’s signature spade seconds hand is streamlined to draw attention to the subtly enlarged luminous pointer.
The black scratch resistant ceramic bezel brings an additional element of durability and creates a dramatic visual effect in combination with the sand textured dials. The colours of the signature railway track, date window and accents were purposefully considered for each variation of the well-appointed model. Despite the smaller proportions, the Delma Shell Star Titanium upholds the power of the Shell Star inside and out. With water resistance to 50ATM, the titanium case back is sealed with a transparent portal revealing the automatic movement and Delma customized rotor in this impressive professional diver’s watch. The case and coordinating bracelet are subtly brushed to accentuate the metal’s distinctive warm grey tone.
As Delma's divers’ watch collection has expanded and evolved over time, the brand's engagement with its community has contributed invaluable insights. Free diver, Ocean Conservationist and Delma ambassador, Magnus Lundborg, brings the value of a smaller, lighter weight watch into perspective.
“When freediving in cold and dark waters, timing is everything. Diving with the Delma Shell Star Titanium has been a true joy. Not only is it lightweight, it is exceptionally easy to see in the murky waters of the North Atlantic. Free from the weight of a scuba tank but limited to the time of a breath, the Delma Shell Star Titanium has quickly become a natural and important part of my diving gear.”
~ Magnus Lundborg
