Always good to see thermocompensated quartz, especially at that price.
Personally I could live without the COSC paperwork and cost. If it runs better than 20 seconds per year at that price, happy days.

Shame it looks a bit odd.

That's a similar colour scheme suggested for the 2017 FLE Trident.

That's true, it's a good spec for the money and looks pretty decent. I'm not sure if Certina are often discounted (I'm guessing they are), but getting that at 25-30% off would be a steal at well under £300.

Looks good for the money. I've just bought a new, blue holiday watch but if it doesn't work out I could be very tempted by one of these.

I rather like that. I've owned a couple of DS Action divers in the past and liked them. Interesting to see they've done away with the diver's bezel in favour of a fixed bezel.

That looks great. Nice dial, decent depth rating and a cool Monnin like alike case. Battery life is the next hurdle but it still wouldn't replace my Cwc gs.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

And I'm sat looking at the cg image in the link and thinking.... nope... I'm not really getting this, i must be immune to, or ignorant of, its charms. You my friend.... :D :D

What makes it a dive watch? Just the 200m rating? I thought a timing bezel was essential for a dive watch.

It's only been announced recently, my guess is that it's too new to be on their website as yet. When it's available for sale it'll likely appear.

Ressurecting an old thread, has anyone acquired one of these and care to share their thoughts?

I do like that! Im waiting for the latest Auto diver, think its out this month..80 hour power reserve along with all the other usual features for £650. Amazing value they really are. I have a black DS Action diver and i love it. Built so well.
