The best new Certina
watches for 2011 were the "Action Divers." The name of the collection
sounds as youthful as Certina wants the watches to be. Certina once made
very impressive diving watches and are seemingly trying to return that
image a bit.
While intended to be for the mainstream buyer, these DS Action Divers
are a nice watch and a good value that are also diving capable. They
come in a few styles and colors, and on metal bracelets or straps. Size
is just right at 43mm wide for most people. The dial is an amalgamated
look from a range of successful high-end divers from brands such as
Rolex and Omega. Certina sort of melded a few together to come up with
this attractive look. The same concept applied to the steel case and
bezel - not wholly original, but satisfying.
I love the clean integration of the date. None of the hour indicators needed to be removed, and the date disc is black to match the dial being placed between hour indicators. The watch case has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200 meters. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement. Overall a great daily wear at a price that feels comfortable in the $800 - $1000 range.
