Radiate Summer Euphoria with the Newly Released Certina DS Action Diver 38mm in Cool Titanium

With the summer sun almost upon us, many are switching their formal dress watches for something more apt for the warm temperatures, travel, and outdoor activities. The ideal summer wrist companion must strike the perfect balance of water-resistance, durability, and a hint of vibrance. The Certina DS Action Diver fits the bill to a tee, celebrating summer with its fun and durable 38mm edition, made with lightweight titanium cases and colourful accents.

Any Certina watch marked with ‘DS’ hails from the brand’s innovative Double Security system, unveiled in 1959. The DS system is noted for its protective prowess, featuring O-seal rings on the stem and crown, along with a reinforced caseback to protect the movement from potential damage. A watch bearing the DS acronym assures resilience, reflecting the latest technical standards and adaptations.

Boasting a water-resistance depth of 300 metres and an ISO 6425 certification, these watches - aside from their vibrant colours - take durability to new heights. The Diver’s case is fortified with an ultra-thin metal plate between the dial and movement to prevent any deformity or slippage during an impact. Additionally, the scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal is bolstered to sustain shockwaves, with the movement being further protected by a ring-shaped nut.

The watch cases are made from grade 2 titanium, which is lightweight yet sturdy. The bezels feature scratch-resistant ceramic inserts that will resist fading in sunlight. There are three references in this series: one with an electric blue ceramic bezel and dial contrasted by bright orange Super-LumiNova, another with a dark grey ceramic bezel and dial accented by turquoise Super-LumiNova, and a third featuring a black ceramic insert and dial enhanced by a streak of pink Super-LumiNova.

Inside the sealed caseback branded with a turtle logo is the robust Powermatic 80, a proprietary automatic system of the Swatch Group. This mechanism features an antimagnetic Nivachron balance spring with an impressive 80-hour power reserve. All versions of the model come with brushed titanium bracelets equipped with a quick-release system along with a deployant clasp with two pushbuttons and diver’s extension.

Possessing style, resilience, and a dash of summer energy, the new Certina DS Action Diver 38mm Summer Editions offers superior value for the money, retailing at CHF 925 / GBP 925 / USD 1,100.
