Davosa Ternos Professional Matt Suit Limited Edition Watch Review

Davosa extends its Ternos Professional series with a duo of matte-dialled limited edition diving instruments named the Davosa Ternos Professional Matt Suit. Dressed in a choice of navy blue or deep black matte, the limited editions of 500 pieces remain loyal to their diver’s DNA with a new design aesthetic destined to impress.

The Davosa Ternos remains one of the brand’s most formidable and popular families for diving enthusiasts, delivering durable cases, helium escape valves and tried and tested water resistant ratings of up to 500 metres. The design has also been nominated for several awards since its first release including the reader’s choice in Chronos Watch Magazine in 2013. For this reason, Davosa has extended the collection in more ways than one. From the Ternos Ceramic to the Ternos Medium, Ternos Sixties and the Ternos Professional, there is certainly a Davosa Ternos model to suit every wrist. Extending it even further for those that like a matte finish dial and a fully fine-satin finished case and bracelet, the Swiss watch manufacturer have introduced two new Davosa Ternos Professional Matt Suit Limited Edition watches.

The main distinctive feature of the new Davosa Ternos Professional Matt Suit watches is their new matte-finished dials. Available in dark navy and deep black, the structured dials contrast elegantly against the large central hands for hours and minutes, lollipop seconds hand and combination of rounded, box-shaped and triangle indexes. Each of the accents are adorned in white Super-LumiNova BGW09 to ensure optimal legibility in even the darkest depths of the ocean and paired with a white-bordered date window at 3 o’clock and the words “TERNOS” “PROFESSIONAL” “AUTOMATIC” “500M” at 6 o’clock.

As fully functioning diving instruments, the Davosa Ternos Professional Matt Suit Limited Editions are presented in high-grade brushed surgical steel cases, a material both rust and corrosion resistant and unaffected by moisture, perspiration and seawater. The cases measure to 42mm in diameter and 15.5mm in height topped by flat sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment on the inside and a circular satined bezel engineered from high-tech ceramic. Destined for your diving adventures, the bezel is decorated with a 60 minute diving scale perfect for measuring elapsed dive times, a luminous triangle marker at 12 o’clock and unidirectional functionality so no number of accidental knocks will cause you to miscalculate you remaining oxygen.

The screw down case back of the Davosa Ternos Professional Matt Suit Limited Editions come with a nice surprise. Rather than their standard engraved decoration, the screw down case back water resistant to 500 metres is distinguished by an elaborate structured carbon centrepiece paired with their logo at the centre and the limited edition value out of 500 pieces. Hidden beneath it is the DAV 3021 automatic movement, a Swiss made calibre based on the SW200 Sellita movement. Alongside the central hands for hours, minutes and seconds and date window at 3 o’clock, the mechanical calibre provides 26 jewels, a power reserve of 38 hours and a frequency of 28,800vph.
