DS Action GMT Powermatic 80 Watch C0329291105100

The Watch

Founded in 1888, Certina is a Swiss watchmaking company celebrated worldwide for its quality timepieces and sporting spirit. Its watches are precise, reliable, and built to last, featuring the brand's signature DS (Double Security) technology - delivering exceptional resistance to shocks and temperature changes through advanced technical innovation. Certina now unveils the new DS Action Powermatic 80 GMT C032.929.11.051.00, a watch that embodies the spirit of action and adventure while bearing this iconic hallmark. The sturdy case is crafted from 316L stainless steel in silver with a meticulously executed brushed finish for a refined aesthetic. Designed for men's wrists, it features a round shape with a 41 mm diameter, 13.80 mm thickness, and a weight of 195 g. The case is topped by a bidirectional bezel, precisely notched, with an insert made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal in black and green. The insert features white luminescent graduation in 24-hour format, representing the GMT scale. It frames a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment for optimal legibility and scratch protection. The crown has a grooved profile for easy grip when setting the hands and date. Protected and screwed down, it also enhances the watch's water resistance. The whole is sealed by a screwed case back with a sapphire crystal insert, delivering a water resistance of 20 ATM.

The Dial

Elegant and functional, the dial delivers a classic look. Its black matte background ensures effortless reading and impeccable clarity. It features a black inner bezel accented by a traditional minute track encircling the hour markers. Bold and prominent, these include triangles at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock and round markers for the remaining hours - except at 3 o'clock, where a date window takes center stage. Each marker is meticulously crafted and filled with Super-LumiNova® to ensure outstanding legibility in dark environments and ocean depths. The same luminescent treatment covers the silver-toned hour and minute hands, as well as the apple-shaped seconds hand. These are paired with a fourth hand in green, fitted with a luminescent arrowhead tip that points to GMT hours - ideal for tracking destination time during your travels. The dial is authenticated by neatly rendered white text: the brand signature at 12 o'clock, the collection and movement reference at 6 o'clock, and the "Swiss Made" inscription discreetly placed at the bottom.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a cutting-edge Swiss-made automatic movement. It runs on the ETA Powermatic 80.661 caliber, featuring a Nivachron hairspring for outstanding antimagnetic protection. Based on the ETA 2824.2, it is equipped with 25 jewels, beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour, and delivers an exceptional 80-hour power reserve. The movement offers a three-hand analog display, a 4th GMT hand, and a date display.

The Bracelet

Elegant and classic, the bracelet completes the watch's sporting aesthetic while delivering comfortable wear on the wrist. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it features 3 rows of brushed silver-toned links. With a lug width of 20 mm, it fastens with a deployment clasp for a secure fit and includes an easy-change system for versatile styling.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 20 atmospheres, equivalent to 200 meters. Gentlemen and ladies, this is a watch built to accompany you through your deepest aquatic adventures! Designed for freediving, it laughs in the face of water - whether you're running a pressure washer or diving beneath the surface, this timepiece stays on the job. Showering, bathing, competitive swimming, and freediving? All covered. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also, avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged, to keep the movement's integrity intact.
