Apnea Diver
The first striking feature of the DAVOSA Apnea Diver Automatic is the multicoloured ring on the edge of the dial. It is only by chance that it is composed of the French national colours. Because in fact the colours blue, white and red correspond to the breathing training for freediving according to a worldwide uniform pattern: in the five-second blue phase, air is taken, then held for 15 seconds (white area) and then exhaled over a further 10 seconds (red area). Without having to count or stop, the free diver can fully concentrate on the vital breathing training with the help of this colour code.
The DAVOSA Apnea Diver Automatic is a special diver’s watch that combines the highest Swiss watchmaking artistry with the special requirements of free divers. The reliable Swiss automatic movement DAV 3021 is housed in a case with a water resistance of 20 ATM.
Condition
All watches are categorised as brand new, preloved and so on. Vintage watches are shown as they are. For new watches we use some manufacturers' promotional pictures, but any limited edition numbers shown are those of the actual watch.
What we do and don't do
Each watch is fully inspected and is working as it should: hands turn freely, the date changes where fitted, and the watch winds. To bring you great prices we do not service every watch, and we recommend you do so regularly to keep it in good working order.
We bench test each watch for timekeeping and accept a tolerance of two minutes either way. If you have any concerns we are happy to send you a TIMEGRAPH reading with a picture of your watch in test. Some of the more expensive watches have been serviced by third party specialists, and where that is the case the service record is supplied with the watch and shown on the product page.
Watches are not tested for functionality and timekeeping over longer periods of time. For this reason, long-term performance is excluded from our warranty once the returns window has closed. This does not affect your statutory rights.
We aim to supply vintage watches in the best possible condition, but some wear must be expected due to age. This is shown in the pictures supplied. Please ask if you would like more pictures of any particular feature.
