The Certina DS Action Diver Automatic is a basic and affordable diver. A serious diver as it is water-resistant to depths of 300 meters / 990 feet.

This diver meets the international standards for diving watches regulated by the International Organization for Standardization. Their ISO 6425 standard was introduced in 1996 and describes that a watch with this certificate can withstand diving in water at depths of at least 125% of the rated water pressure. And the watch should have a system to control the diving time.

The Certina DS Action Diver Automatic has impressive specs for the price tag

For this Certina DS Action Diver Automatic the certificate means that the watch can withstand a pressure of 37.5 bar. Which is more or less 370 meters or 1,240 feet. The anodized rotating bezel sets the diving time and the markers on the bezel as well as the dial and the hands are coated with super-luminova. Even deep down under water, in the dark, you should be able to read all the necessary information.

The test procedure of the ISO 6425 contains much more regulations. In case you are interested, these can be found here. It is quite an achievement Certina could keep the price tag of the watch under a thousand.

The Certina DS Action Diver Automatic is available with a blue or black dial, the latter with stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap. The version with blue dial is only available with a stainless steel bracelet.
