Hi -
Welcome to the forum!
Not a whole lot can be said about Delbana: they were, ultimately, a lower-tier manufacturer in Switzerland with a moderately successful history, but never really made to the big times, and while the company continues to exist today, as can be seen here (http://www.delbana-watches.ch/index.php?action=news&lang=en), there really isn't much to say. It's not an old company, dating basically from the 1950s, and they're perfectly fine, decent watches that were basically sold at a fairly good price back then. But nothing really to write home about.
I've got three of them, decent performers with AS calibres inside (A. Schild was one of the better movement makers in Switzerland and made watchworks for many, many watch manufacturers before being bought by and incorporated into the Swatch Group.
