The DS PH200M actually got two releases. It initially came out in the spring of 2018 with two straps; one in leather and one striped NATO.
It was then re-released early this year on a Milanese mesh bracelet – the setup that many thought it should have been released with to start with.
Alongside the new Stainless steel shark mesh was a second NATO version. Today, we get to see all four variants together – ‘n’ see which one we like best!
Basic spec. includes a 42.8mm Stainless steel case with: a black diver’s bezel and a historic black dial dived into four quadrants by a red cross plus matching red seconds hand.
The PH200M remains faithful to its granddad (if you will) with a rounded Hesalite box glass with AR-coating on one side and a scratch-resistant NEX Scratch-guard coating on the other.
The glass has a separate mounting ring thus ensuring double security and a water-resistance up to 200 meters.
The PH200M’s case-back proudly sports the Certina brand’s cute little turtle symbol. No pics of that I’m afraid.
Power comes from a Certina Powermatic 80 movement, the same movement found in all the DS Divers (it is not COSC-certified, though). It has a power-reserve of 80-hours.
As mentioned the PH200M’s now comes with 4 different strap setups: 1x leather, 2x NATO and 1 Stainless steel mesh. Swiss MSRP is 695CHF (strap) or 745CHF (steel).
