Is that diver lumed with radium? It is absolutely beautiful. The depth of color and texture of the lume contrasting with the black dial is to die for. I love these, but I would be afraid of so much radium though.

99% likely yes, I haven't tested it with a reader but they were originally radium. The hands are relumed though.
But yeah, I don't wear it often. Apparently they are very hot compared to most radium watches out there.

I tested one of mine once and was disappointed to find only a mildly high reading. It was done with @tdn-dk's gear and he tested a fifties (forties?) Omega afterwards that blew the reading out of the sky. I'd heard the same line about the extremely high levels of radiation on the DS before, too.

A unique thing to be disappointed by 😉
But good to know it's not the worst out there!

Interesting, I had assumed the DS diver would have a high radiation level because the large area of lume. Apparently, companies use different concentrations of radium.

Shall we breathe some life into this lovely thread?(or are we doing a vintage Certina only thread?)
I could start with some vintage certinas if you'd like...

·Wow... so many sturdy and great looking Divers on this thread. Thanks for sharing them.
I am still searching for my grail: a vintage mega funky Certina Chronolympic.

·So I had owned this vintage Certina DS for quite a few years. Bought it for next to nothing and got a price I could live with 😉
