Automatic Certina DS Action Diver Powermatic 80 C048.807.38.051.00 watches win their owners over primarily with an elegant look and precise workmanship.
The Certina C048.807.38.051.00 watches belonging to the DS Action Automatic model line feature a date display. The detailed dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with one anti-reflective layer, which is scratch-resistant. The watch case is made of stainless steel with a black PVD treatment. The watch is secured on the wrist by a black textile strap with a pin buckle. Thanks to the diver’s bezel with a ceramic insert, these watches further underline their diver style. Water resistance is 300 m, making them suitable for deep diving. The case size is 38 mm, so the watch fits smaller men’s wrists very well.
The watches meet the stricter ISO 6425 standard and are designated as diver’s. These watches must have at least 100 metres of water resistance, while the watches must be tested at a pressure of 125% of the declared depth (i.e. watches rated to 200 m according to ISO 2281 are tested only to 200 m, diver’s watches according to ISO 6425 must be tested to a pressure of 250 m) and other properties are also monitored. For example, decompression, corrosion resistance, resistance to magnetic influence, and shock are tested. They must also include a rotating bezel that can be moved in one direction, must have applied luminescence, and more.
The Swiss ETA Powermatic 80.611 Nivachron movement has 25 jewels and a maximum power reserve of up to 80 hours. The movement frequency is 3 Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour). The balance spring of this movement is made of the Nivachron alloy, which is more resistant to magnetic fields and temperature changes and contributes to better watch accuracy.
The model features the new "DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance" technology. This is an improved DS (Double Security system – double security) technology that increases the durability, shock resistance and water resistance of the watch. Three key elements have been added to the case construction: 1. an ultra-thin metal plate is placed between the dial and the movement, ensuring greater stability of both elements; 2. the movement is secured inside the case using a thin screw-in ring nut, which ensures increased stability, especially in the event of vibrations; 3. a reinforced sapphire crystal, which is additionally domed for better distribution of the shock wave in the event of the watch being 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.
