The Certina DS Action Diver 38mm Titanium is a 38 mm Grade 2 titanium dive watch with a Powermatic 80 automatic movement. At 86 g on its bracelet, only one of the 47 other titanium dive watches weighed on a bracelet is lighter. At 38 mm across, it is smaller than 94% of the 359 titanium dive watches in the guide. On the maker's specification no steel touches the skin, so the guide lists it as nickel-free.
