Blue Shark III (547017006034)

The Delma Blue Shark III stands out with its extreme 4000m water resistance, helium valve, bold Super-LumiNova dial, and limited-edition build, combining rugged dive capability with refined, collectable appeal.

The Delma Blue Shark III 547017006034 is a robust dive watch celebrating the brand's 95th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of its first professional diver's timepiece. With an impressive water resistance of 4000 meters, this watch is designed for extreme underwater use. Its 47mm stainless steel case is both bold and durable, featuring practical elements such as a helium escape valve, a screw-down crown with custom guards, and a rugged DLC-coated bezel that is easy to operate - even while wearing dive gloves.

The black dial of the watch provides excellent legibility, featuring bold numerals, applied indexes, and Super-LumiNova C5 coating. The luminous hands enhance readability, making it easy to tell the time even in the darkest conditions. Inside, the watch is powered by the reliable SW200-1 automatic movement, which has a 38-hour power reserve and a customised rotor from Delma. Additionally, there is a date window for everyday practicality, complemented by a sturdy, solid case back.

Despite its robust construction and weight of 295 grams, the Blue Shark III can be worn comfortably due to the well-designed lugs. It offers a choice between a solid steel bracelet and a rubber strap, both of which can be adjusted using the included tools.

Presented in a wooden box and limited to 500 pieces, this watch combines professional-grade functionality with elegant details, making it suitable for both adventure and collectors who value substance and style.

This Delma Blue Shark III 547017006034 is in mint condition with only light signs of wear visible upon close inspection. The 47mm stainless steel case and DLC-coated bezel remain sharp and unmarked, while the sapphire crystal is flawless. The black dial, luminous markers, and hands are pristine and fully functional. The automatic movement runs smoothly, and all functions, including the date and helium valve, operate perfectly. The stainless steel bracelet exhibits minimal handling wear, and the rubber strap appears to have been barely used. Complete with its original wooden box, tools, and accessories, this watch is a superb example from the limited-edition series.
