The automatic Certina DS Action Diver Powermatic 80 C048.407.11.011.00 watch appeals to its owners primarily with its elegant appearance, precise workmanship and technological innovations that increase its durability.
The Certina C048.407.11.011.00 watch, part of the DS Action Automatic range, has a date display at the 3 o'clock position. The detailed white dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with a single anti-reflective coating, which is scratch-resistant. The case and steel strap are made of stainless steel. The diving bezel with a ceramic insert further emphasises the watch's diving style. Water resistance is 300 m, making the watch suitable for deep diving. The case measures 40.5 mm, so the watch fits most men's wrists.
The watch meets the stricter ISO 6425:2018 standard and is designated a diver's watch. Such watches must have a water resistance of at least 100 m and must be pressure-tested to 125% of the stated depth. For example, a watch water-resistant to 200 m under ISO 2281 is tested only to 200 m, while a diving watch under ISO 6425 must be tested to a pressure equivalent to 250 m. Other properties are also assessed. These include decompression, corrosion resistance, magnetic resistance and shock resistance. The watch must also have a unidirectional rotating bezel, luminescence and other features.
The Swiss ETA Powermatic 80.611 Nivachron movement has 25 jewels and a maximum power reserve of up to 80 hours. The movement operates at a frequency of 3 Hz (21600 vibrations per hour). The balance spring is made from Nivachron alloy, which is more resistant to magnetic fields and temperature changes and contributes to improved accuracy.
The model features the new "DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance" technology. This is an improved version of the DS (Double Security system), which increases the watch's durability, shock resistance and water resistance. Three key elements have been added to the case construction: 1. an ultra-thin metal plate is placed between the dial and the movement to provide greater stability for both components; 2. the movement is secured inside the case by a thin threaded ring nut, which provides increased stability, particularly in the event of vibrations; 3. a reinforced sapphire crystal, which is also domed to distribute the shock wave more effectively if the watch is dropped.

Certina is a well-known Swiss brand operating on the market since 1888. Certina watch technologies include: DS concept, Powermatic 80, Precidrive and others. He has been investing a lot of money in the development of more accurate and durable watches since its inception. As a result, it has gained customers and fans around the world. Certina sponsors motor sports (Sauber F1, Rallye - limited edition dedicated to the WRC and the WRC World Championship) and has established many legends in its history: Muhammad Ali, Colin McRae, Ole Einar Bjørndalen, Mike Doohan and others. Certina currently continues to support classic cross-country skiing and, more recently, the racket sport padel.
An important part of Certina watches is DS Concept technology. "DS Concept" (Double Security) was first introduced in 1959 and has since been a guarantee of exceptional durability and reliability in every Certina watch. In 2025, DS Concept was improved to provide even better protection for selected models. The turtle shell symbolizes robustness and durability – qualities that all Certina watches possess without exception. It is therefore no surprise that the turtle shell has been the brand's distinctive symbol since the 1960s. To this day, the characteristic emblem can be found on almost all Certina watches and also in the brand's logo.
Since 2017, every Certina quartz watch has undergone a running accuracy check and is C.O.S.C. and a chronometer with a maximum deviation of + - 10 seconds per year and + - 0.07 seconds per day.
