Each of these well thought-out features have ensured the DS Super PH500M can pursue and renew the underwater adventures of its historic predecessor. The black rubber strap was also a prerequisite, particularly with a Klett closure of standard length, and an extra-long version that fits easily over the sleeve of a drysuit. During the design of the Certina DS Super PH500M Special Edition, the high-contrast orange dial became an essential part of its aesthetic with easy legibility being a priority for experienced divers. Since its founding in 1954, the VDST Association of German Sport Divers has become the largest and oldest non-profit sport diving associations in the world, and with its long history comes a long list of requirements for the ultimate diving watch. The DS-2 Super PH500M became legendary when it was sent on a two month underwater experiment and so for the new DS Super PH500M, the Swiss manufacturer has made sure it can endure adventures of the very same calibre, if not more daring. The model has taken a bunch of inspiration from a historic Certina divers watch first seen back in the 1960’s. Designed in partnership with the Association of German Sport Divers (Verband Deutscher Sporttaucher, VDST), Certina have unveiled the remarkable new Certina DS Super PH500M Special Edition watch, a diver’s timepiece sure to make waves on its release in June 2020.
