In my opinion, the nicest Certina.
Bravo, doug, that is a superb example, with a nice patina and in good condition.
From all those Certina you showed, this one is by far my favourite.
A superb dial with a sensual case. for a watxch which has a lot of character and charm.
I am in love!
Best,

A review of the Certina DS 200m First Gen
Hi all, today I present my last catch, the Certina DS Diver first generation. This is the first DS version of a long line of divers. The DS (Double Security) appeared in 1959. Here's how: Surrounds the caliber a large joint, he's here to protect the calib...
Great catch ...
Thank you for sharing. Certina, the DS diver line, is always on my short list but is rare, very rare, here where I live. Cheers, Nilo
very nice classic diver. i like it a lot
lovely looking piece in great condition for its age. do you know how to date these as i've seen the one you have listed as 1964, but with no date on the ad. i assume it was started in 1964, but was produced for a few years so just buying one wont guarante...
Thanks Graham.
The only thing I know about the second version is the years of production, from 1964 to 1967. In 1967, the DS PH200m was launch: http://www.vintagecertinas.ch/img/tabelle/ds-ph200m.jpg The problem is the variation of this sort of old diver watch, for exem...

thanks Doug, i’m doing some research, but it will probably papers that prove the date. i’ve already found one of the 64 onwards models, but no idea or specifics. thanks again G

Great catch - congrats
Thanks for such a great post. This is a watch I haven't seen before and what a beauty it is. I have to say I do like the monster cases of the later Certina's as well. The way the numerals are inset in the dials reminds me of the early Eterna Kontiki, whic...
Thanks Ubik...
The Kontiki is a great watch. If you like vintage 70 certina, you have to hunt this one : http://www.vintagecertinas.ch/img/tabelle/ds-3-super-ph1000my.jpg The big DS3 ;) ...
