‘A robust watch with zero nonsense’ could certainly be the motto of Delma’s Cayman automatic dive watch.

This is the bronze version, which is the only real difference from the steel Cayman: same dial layout, warmer metal, more character over time.

The Cayman leans on legibility over flash: fat applied markers, a plain date window, and a bezel you can read without squinting.

The inner 24 hour scale is the giveaway that this is a tool watch rather than a dress piece, and canvas keeps it light on the wrist.

On the wrist the case reads sensible rather than oversized, and the black bezel with white markings stays readable without shouting.

Engraved, not printed: stainless steel, sapphire crystal, 50 ATM. Putting the rotor on show is unusual on a watch rated this deep.

Rubber is the strap you want if it is going in the water. Same watch, different job, and the swap takes a minute.

‘A robust watch with zero nonsense’ could certainly be the motto of Delma’s Cayman automatic dive watch. This 1970s-inspired timepiece is one of a kind–apart from having a much sought-after Swiss automatic movement—it is entirely water-resistant at 500 m underwater.

The watch is embedded with an exquisite stainless steel case and a mesh bracelet, both of which look classy and sophisticated on the wrist.

To keep with the concept of sports watches, the Delma Cayman Bronze incorporates a unidirectional aluminum diver bezel with silver numerals at 15, 30, 45, and a luminous speck at the 12 o’clock mark. The ring of the bezel has a scalloped shape for a great grip.

A date window along with the open case back makes it a solid competitor among other dive watches on the market.

Things we like:

  • The dive watch is as durable as it can get

Things we don't like:

  • We didn’t find any real points
