The quality and technical edge of these wristwatches are based on decades of experience in Swiss watchmaking.
For many, this brand is the primary choice when looking for a reliable automatic watch for everyday life and hobbies.
The DS Action Diver in particular has reached an iconic status in the diving watch category.
In our selection, you will find several sizes, such as the popular 38 mm model for a more slender wrist and the more striking 43 mm version.
Durability is emphasized in the materials, and the Titanium models, for example, offer a very lightweight alternative to traditional steel.
Technical superiority: Powermatic 80 and the DS Concept
Our most popular watches are equipped with the state-of-the-art Powermatic 80 movement.
This innovative automatic movement offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours and excellent accuracy.
In practice, the watch can be left unworn for the entire weekend and still be perfectly on time on Monday morning.
The historical DS Concept is still at the heart of every case.
It offers peace of mind for demanding conditions thanks to its reinforced construction and special seals.
Historical special models and stylish elegance
Special models highly regarded among enthusiasts, such as the DS PH200M, demonstrate the manufacturer's deep connection to ocean exploration.
However, these wristwatches are not just tools.
The women's models and the stylish DS Caimano offer refined elegance for celebrations and the office.
Our selection also includes more complex functions, such as Moonphase and GMT models.
Watchmaker's tip: Maintenance interval for an automatic watch
A mechanical watch is a fine technical device that requires regular care to function flawlessly from year to year. We recommend a full service for an automatic watch approximately every 4 to 6 years. During the service, the watch movement is disassembled, cleaned, re-oiled, and tested for water resistance. Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your watch by decades.
