The name “Edox” is derived from Ancient Greek and relates to the concept of measuring time, a meaning reinforced by the company’s enduring hourglass logo. As the brand grew in the early 20th century, it established itself in Biel/Bienne, one of the centers of Swiss watchmaking, and became known for producing elegant, reliable, and often slim watches. A major milestone came in 1961 with the introduction of the Delfin and Hydromatic line, which featured innovative double gasket systems that significantly improved water resistance and durability for the time. Like many Swiss manufacturers, Edox struggled during the quartz crisis of the 1970s, when companies such as Seiko disrupted the industry with affordable quartz technology, pushing Edox close to collapse. However, the brand survived through restructuring and repositioned itself in the following decades, focusing on robust sports watches, particularly in diving and motorsport segments. Today, Edox remains an independent Swiss watchmaker, continuing to build on its heritage of technical reliability and its long-standing association with timekeeping precision. Remember..
