The right side of the case is flanked by two rectangular pushers and a nice grippy crown, and there is also a healthy 100 meters of water resistance on offer. Sitting atop the case is a fixed bezel and a beautiful box-shaped sapphire crystal to provide enhanced protection from scratches. As the dimensions suggest this watch is slightly larger as compared to its 36mm vintage sibling but is well-sized for a modern chronograph. It has been crafted from stainless steel and measures 42mm in diameter and has a thickness of around 13.9mm. The case, like the dial, has been designed to look historically accurate, albeit with a few modern touches. Furthermore, to aid legibility, the tip of the minute hand has also been curved. While the layout looks familiar, what makes this piece special, in my opinion, is the way the dial has been domed towards the edges like the historic reference, creating some intriguing distortions when looked at from certain angles. A black minute track surrounds the hour markers, which is followed by a Telemeter scale and a tachymeter scale in blue. Presented in a subdued shade of silver, the dial, like the original reference, features a balanced twin-register layout, visually captivating thermally blued hands, and applied hour markings that are a combination of faceted triangles and numerals at 12 and 6. The Heritage game is about re-creating the magic of the past and Certina seems to have nailed it with the new Certina DS Automatic Chronograph by making a watch that sticks to the original recipe and looks virtually identical to its vintage inspiration. And now, the brand has expanded its Heritage catalog with a stunning recreation of an elegant chronograph from the 1940s. CERTINA DS ACTION DIVER AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH C013.427.17.051.00 - Mens automatic watch with chronograph and date CERTINA Authorised trade Express. During Baselworld 2017, Certina revealed the modern avatar of its popular 1967 dive watch, the DS PH200M. With a rich 130-year history, Certina, like many other popular brands, has gradually started making its presence felt in the rapidly growing vintage re-issue segment.
