Gronefeld 1969 Delta Works Olive SS Two-Tone Dial

The Gronefeld 1969 DeltaWorks Olive SS Two‑Tone Dial is a commanding sports‑utility timepiece released in 2022, embodying the brand’s first foray into durable yet haute horology. Its robust 44.5 mm stainless‑steel case, measuring approximately 12.5 mm thick and 53 mm lug‑to‑lug, is designed for resilience, drawing inspiration from the Netherlands’ Delta Works flood‑protection system. The automatic in‑house calibre G‑06, shared with the 1941 Principia, delivers 56 hours of power reserve and features a shock‑absorbing rotor with an 18 k gold segment and ceramic ball bearings, showcasing Gronefeld’s meticulous finishing. The two‑tone dial—champagne gold and salmon—paired with blue hands and indices with orange lume, offers both elegance and legibility, while the small seconds at 6 o’clock maintains functional clarity. With 100 m water resistance, a screw‑down crown, and optional rubber‑clad or steel case inserts, this model balances practicality and personalization. Limited to approximately 20 pieces per year, it stands as a rare and collectible expression of independent watchmaking excellence. Like New with Gronefeld box and papers dated 2024.
