TheDavosa Apnea Diver Automatic is a special edition sports automatic watch - a limited numbered edition dedicated to freediver Nick Linder. Designed primarily for diving, it is therefore characterized by its durable construction and excellent legibility.

TheDavosa Apnea Diver Automatic 161.568.55 is a full-blooded diving watch with 200m resistance . The clear and perfectly legible dial is protected by a durable sapphire crystal and a unidirectional rotating ceramic lunette.

The watch face is suitable for breathing exercises. The blue part of the dial is for inhalations, the white part is for holding the breath for 15 seconds and finally the red part for exhalations. After removing the rubber strap, the watch can be placed on a stand so that you can have an unobstructed view of it while exercising. With the help of this watch, you can fully concentrate on your breathing exercises without having to count or use a stopwatch.

The robustness of the watch is further emphasized by the screw-down crown and back cap. The watch feels great on the wrist thanks to the rubber strap (a second red strap is included) and comes in a waterproof box. The movement is a classic, mechanical movement DAV 3021 (based on the ETA 2824 or Sellita SW 200) with a frequency of 4Hz and a winding reserve of 38h.

Special features of the DAVOSA Apnea Diver by Niko Linder

What is so special about this watch and why is it called a "freediving" watch? These are probably the most common questions you might ask when looking at the Davosa Apnea Diver watch.

Does the inner lunette rotate using the top crown? And is this the special feature that every freediver will appreciate? No and yes. In this description of the watch we will try to explain everything to you.

The top crown - control your mind

You don't have to spend as much time underwater as Nik Linder to realize that one cannot encompass everything.

Above our minds lie larger dimensions: the ocean, the universe and more. In yoga, the connection to a higher state of consciousness is symbolized by the crown chakra - the most important chakra for Nik Linder.

That's why we've positioned the screw-down crown on the DAVOSA Apnea Diver watch to set the time to 12 o'clock.

True crown - innovative use

Unlike the positioning of the upper crown, the position of the right crown is purely functional. By gently unscrewing the crown, the watch can be released from the outer case. The watch can be removed and placed on a flat surface using the back ring (on which it rests).

This innovation makes the DAVOSA Apnea Diver much more than just a timekeeper - even on dry ground. In fact, it helps Nick Linder to practice his special breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing) with the ability to track the time and progress of the workout. He also uses this function in his courses and lectures.

Breathing ring - coloured aid

The breathing ring consists of blue, white and red parts. It helps you to practice and follow the basic rules of alternate nostril breathing.

During the five-second blue phase you inhale, then hold your breath for 15 seconds in the white phase and exhale for 10 seconds in the red phase. Using this colour ring, the freediver concentrates fully on the important breathing exercise without having to count or use a stopwatch.

Freediving is all about seconds, which is why we have used the red colour for the second hand, which allows for an accurate seconds reading every time.

A reminder on the wrist - take a deep breath and relax

Almost every participant in Nik Linder's courses is looking for a challenge and relaxation at the same time. It may sound contradictory, but it is true. Most participants are between 20 and 40 years old and are highly ambitious, playing an active role in work and family. Nowadays, high performance is important, but we also need to focus on the ability to calm down and relax.

Breathing exercises teach us how to use the breath to release accumulated stress. But it doesn't prevent it from building up. That's why the DAVOSA Apnea Diver watch on your wrist is a very good reminder of the need for rest and deep breathing.

A trusted companion

Above all, the DAVOSA Apnea watch is a fully-fledged diver's watch that combines function, innovation, quality and design. All in all, it makes a great partner for successful dives.

You will receive the watch in a waterproof dive box with a spare strap and a protractor.
