I recently acquired a Certina DS Action diver 43. I was looking for a black dial diver in a classic style. I know Hodinkee just started distribution of Certina in US. I bought this one on fleabay.

I’m really impressed with the quality for 800 USD. I searched the forum and very little popped up for Certina. Clearly it is more obscure than its siblings in the Swatch family, Tissot and Hamilton.

Obligatory picture…

Any love for Certina?

I am a devotee of the dress watch. Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate all types of watches, but there’s something special about the elegant simplicity of the dress watch (I would say “timeless,” but that’s not a good descriptor for a watch).

I am one of the Dress Watch Desperados, and I hope you join us.
