watches Certina DS Action Diver Powermatic 80 C048.807.33.051.02

The Certina DS Action Diver Powermatic 80 C048.807.33.051.02 automatic watch wins over its owners primarily with its precise craftsmanship and sporty design. 

The Certina C048.807.33.051.02, part of the DS Action model series, features a date display. The intricately detailed dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a single anti-reflective coating. The striking orange color of the second hand and the indices on the bezel contrasts with the black finish of the case and bracelet. Both the case and the bracelet are made of stainless steel with a black PVD coating. The bracelet features a diver’s extension on the clasp. Thanks to the diver’s bezel with a ceramic insert, this watch further emphasizes its diving style. The watch is water-resistant to 300 meters, making it suitable for deep-sea diving. The case measures 38 mm in diameter, so the watch fits perfectly on a smaller men’s wrist.

The watch meets the stricter ISO 6425 standard and is designated as a “diver’s watch.” Such watches must have a water resistance of at least 100 meters, and they must be tested at a pressure of 125% of the declared depth (for example, a watch rated to 200 m according to ISO 2281 is tested only to 200 m, while a diver’s watch according to ISO 6425 must be tested at a pressure equivalent to 250 m), and other characteristics are also evaluated. For example, tests include decompression, corrosion resistance, resistance to magnetic fields, and shock resistance. They must also feature a unidirectional rotating bezel, applied luminescence, and other features.

The Swiss ETA Powermatic 80.611 Nivachron movement features 25 jewels and a maximum power reserve of up to 80 hours.The movement’s frequency is 3 Hz (21,600 half-vibrations per hour). The balance spring of this movement is made of a Nivachron alloy, which is more resistant to magnetic fields and temperature changes and contributes to the watch’s improved accuracy.

The model features the new “DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance” technology. This is an enhanced version of the DS (Double Security System) technology, which increases the watch’s durability, shock resistance, and water resistance.Three key elements have been added to the case design: 1.An ultra-thin metal plate is positioned between the dial and the movement, ensuring greater stability for both components; 2. The movement is secured inside the case with a thin screw-on ring nut, which ensures increased stability, especially in the event of vibrations; 3.a reinforced sapphire crystal, which is also domed to better disperse the shock wave in the event the watch is dropped.

The package also includes an orange rubber strap with a black folding clasp.
