Edox was founded in Biel in 1884 by Christian Rüefli-Flury and has remained one of the last genuinely independent Swiss watch manufacturers, currently family-owned and based in Les Genevez in the Jura mountains. The brand built its reputation through technical innovation in water resistance, patenting a double-gasket crown system in 1961 for the original Delfin, a watch that pushed water resistance standards well beyond what competitors were achieving at the time. In 1998, Edox set the world record for the slimmest calendar watch ever produced, with a movement just 1.4 millimetres thick, a record that remains unbroken. The brand continues to position itself through motorsport and watersport partnerships, serving as official timekeeper for events including the Dakar Rally and the Class-1 World Powerboat Championship.
At WATCHOYSTER, we carry a selection of certified pre-owned Edox watches inspected in Switzerland. Every piece has been physically examined by our in-house certified watchmaker, verified against The Watch Register, and documented before listing. What you see reflects the actual condition of the watch, with no exceptions.
Edox occupies a genuinely underrated position in Swiss watchmaking, offering authentic manufacture-level engineering history at prices considerably below brands with comparable technical pedigree. The pre-owned market is where earlier Delfin, Hydro-Sub and Chronorally references most consistently surface, often well below their original retail positioning. Buying a certified second-hand Edox from a verified dealer in Switzerland means every piece has been assessed for water resistance integrity, movement accuracy and case condition before listing. Our 12-month warranty applies to every watch in our catalogue, and our 14-day return policy covers any case where the watch does not correspond to its description.
All Edox watches in our catalogue are available for immediate purchase with worldwide insured delivery. Standard delivery across Switzerland takes 2 to 3 business days. For clients who prefer to inspect the watch in person before completing the purchase, our appointment-only lounge in the Geneva Free Zone is available by prior arrangement.
Financing is available on selected pre-owned Edox references for clients based in Switzerland, with terms from 3 to 24 months, no interest and no administrative fees. The full purchase price is divided into equal monthly instalments, with a minimum first payment of 25%. A decision takes under three minutes at checkout, with no documentation required beyond standard order information.
