Modern finishes and features elevate the timepieces in the line, giving the watches a contemporary silhouette and underlining the brand\u2019s dedication to quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delma&#8217;s new continental chronographs are part of the brand\u2019s racing collection. The model\u2019s 42 mm case and it\u2019s Jubilee-style bracelet are made of stainless steel. Its bracelet closes with a butterfly deployment clasp. The explorer lugs attached to the case are slightly tapered adding to the watches streamlined case design. Its case back features a Delma engraving. Encasing the dial is a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Sapphire crystal is durable and scratch-resistant, increasing its robustness. It also ensures you won\u2019t have to worry about accidental damage to your timepiece. The watch also features a screw-down crown. On the flange of the dial is placed a tachymeter scale. The black sunray-brushed dial is contrasted by two white subdials. It\u2019s large tapered, luminescent indices complement the overall sporty look of the Continental Chronographs. It also offers increased readability. The sword-shaped hands are also luminescent, while the red centre seconds hand adding a touch of colour to the otherwise monochrome design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Functions on the mode include a date aperture placed at the 6 o\u2019clock position, a tachymeter as well as a quartz bicompax chronograph.
