Nice reissue. Wrong strap.
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ·
Certina pulled this design out of the late 60s and did a good job on the looks. Domed sapphire, chunky indices, that bezel. It's a handsome thing. 42.8 mm across, 13.3 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, 200 m.
Inside, Powermatic 80.611. 80 hours. I keep saying it because it keeps mattering.
And then they ship it on leather. A dive watch. On leather. I get that it's supposed to look vintage and dressy, but the first time you sweat through it in an August heat wave on a roof you'll be shopping for a rubber strap or a NATO. Budget for that. 22 mm lugs at least makes it easy.
At $895 to $995 it's fair money for what it is. Buy it if you want the old-school look and don't plan on actually getting it wet much. If you're going in the water every weekend, the Action Diver on its bracelet makes more sense.
