DS Action Day-Date Powermatic 80 Watch C0324301604100

The Watch

For over 130 years, Certina has upheld the art of Swiss fine watchmaking. Its timepieces are renowned for their precision, reliability, and sporting character - qualities underpinned by the ultra-robust Double Security concept, or DS concept, which since 1959 has given Certina watches superior resistance. Discover the DS Action Day-Date C0324301604100 model. It presents an elegant round case with a combination of brushed and polished finishes, crafted in 316L stainless steel measuring 41 mm in diameter and 11.97 mm thick. A anti-reflective sapphire crystal crowns the case, offering optimal dial visibility while protecting against scratches. On the right side, the case extends to form crown guards housing a polished, fluted screw-down crown bearing the DS symbol, used to set the hours, minutes, date, and day. Finally, a screw-down case back provides a magnificent view of the movement through a transparent window. This polished case back delivers water resistance to 20 ATM and features inscriptions around the rim highlighting the key specifications of this timepiece.

The Dial

The dial of this watch tells the time in style. It features a blue sunray base that immediately catches the eye. The outer ring is defined by a finely detailed minute track dotted with silver triangular indices, enlarged at 6 and 12 o'clock for added elegance. These, along with the hands, are treated with SuperLuminova for easy reading in low light or darkness. A white rectangular window at 3 o'clock displays both the day and date. At 12 o'clock, the brand signature crowns the dial, while at 6 o'clock, the collection name is displayed alongside the movement type and water resistance in both meters and feet, printed in orange.

The Movement

The heart of this timepiece beats to the rhythm of a Swiss automatic movement - the ETA Powermatic 80.621 caliber, based on the ETA C07.621 with an 80-hour power reserve. It features 25 jewels and oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. This movement delivers an analog three-hand display with a full day and date complication.

The Strap

This watch is fitted with a handsome brown bovine leather strap finished with grey stitching for a refined touch. It fastens with a deployment clasp with push buttons, crafted in 316L stainless steel. The strap features a 20 mm lug width and offers a comfortable fit on the wrist.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - making it a true companion for deep-water aquatic activities. Built for freediving, it can also handle high-pressure washers without breaking a sweat. Shower, bath, competitive swimming, and freediving are all fair game. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also, be sure not to operate the crown or pushers while submerged, to keep the movement in perfect condition.
