Eska has expanded the Amphibian 250 line with the Blue Dolphin, a new smoked-blue take on the brand’s compact automatic diver.
The release follows the recent run of Amphibian 250 models in red, green, black and white, and gives the revived collection its most overtly nautical personality yet.
A smoked blue dial for the Amphibian 250
The Blue Dolphin uses a gradient blue sandwich dial that moves from a lighter centre to a darker outer edge, giving the watch more depth without losing the clean instrument feel of the Amphibian 250.
Large applied markers and oversized Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock keep the layout legible, while the lollipop seconds hand reinforces the vintage-diver character.
The bezel is the newer Amphibian 250 style with square markers rather than the earlier baton layout, a detail first seen on the Green Turtle and Red Viper editions.
Compact vintage proportions and 250m water resistance
The case remains the familiar 40mm stainless steel format, with a 46mm lug-to-lug measurement and 13.5mm thickness that should suit a wide range of wrists.
Eska keeps the practical dive-watch hardware intact, including a unidirectional rotating bezel, a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, a solid caseback and 250m water resistance.
The Super-LumiNova appears white in daylight and glows blue in low light, a small but well-judged touch that fits the Blue Dolphin name without becoming decorative for its own sake.
Sellita power and a choice of crown position
Inside is the Sellita SW200, a Swiss automatic movement running at 4Hz with hacking seconds, 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve.
As with other Amphibian 250 models, Eska will offer the Blue Dolphin in both standard and destro configurations, with the latter placing the crown on the left side of the case.
That option gives left-handed wearers a practical alternative, but it also suits collectors who like a slightly less conventional silhouette on a vintage-inspired diver.
Batch production, strap options and price
The Blue Dolphin will be available on a smooth white Eska rubber strap for the brightest summer-ready look, or on a navy blue rubber strap with white stitching made by Rub Strap.
It is not a numbered limited edition, though Eska will produce it in limited annual batches, with the first 2026 batch set at 150 pieces.
The Eska Amphibian 250 Blue Dolphin launches on May 15, 2026, with first deliveries planned from July 15, 2026, and pricing set at EUR 908 before taxes.
For buyers who want a compact mechanical diver with retro proportions, credible specifications and a dial that feels ready for warmer months, this is one of the more approachable new entries in Eska’s growing comeback story.
