Certina is bringing a fresh sense of energy to its DS Action collection with the introduction of the new DS Action Diver 38mm. Combining a blacked out design with vibrant orange accents, the latest release draws inspiration from the fast paced world of padel, where precision, movement and performance define every moment.
The new model, reference C048.807.33.051.02, introduces a distinctive visual identity to Certina's established diving watch collection. Its black PVD coated stainless steel case, matte ceramic rotating bezel and contrasting orange details create a modern sports watch that feels equally at home on the wrist during everyday activities as it does in more demanding environments.
A Design Inspired By Performance
The DS Action Diver 38mm takes inspiration from Certina's connection to padel, a sport the Swiss watchmaker has actively supported since 2021. The collection reflects the speed, determination and precision associated with the game, translating these characteristics into a bold yet functional design.
The 38mm stainless steel case features a black PVD coating, complemented by a black dial with an orange lacquered flange and matching accents. Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour markers ensures excellent readability, while a domed sapphire crystal with an anti reflective coating protects the dial.
One of the model's most versatile features is its choice of two different straps. The watch comes with both a black DLC coated stainless steel bracelet and an orange silicone strap, allowing the wearer to move between a more understated appearance and a distinctly sportier look.
Swiss Engineering Beneath The Surface
Inside the DS Action Diver 38mm is Certina's Swiss Made Powermatic 80.611 automatic movement, offering an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours.
The movement incorporates Nivachron technology, designed to improve resistance to magnetic fields and enhance reliability in everyday conditions.
As a professional diving watch, the model is certified according to ISO 6425:2018 and offers water resistance of up to 300 metres. Its screw down crown and caseback contribute to its robust construction, while the latest DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance provides additional protection against shocks, vibrations and impacts.
The enhanced construction includes a reinforced dial, securely fixed movement and strengthened sapphire crystal, reflecting Certina's continued focus on durability and technical performance.
A New Chapter For DS Action
The introduction of the new DS Action Diver 38mm represents a continuation of Certina's approach to combining traditional Swiss watchmaking with contemporary sports inspired design.
Alongside the orange edition, Certina is introducing a second version featuring teal accents, offering a different interpretation of the same black case design. Both models retain the same automatic movement, diving certification and interchangeable bracelet options.
With its compact proportions, distinctive colour combinations and proven technical capabilities, the DS Action Diver 38mm offers a compelling choice for those seeking a versatile sports watch with a more expressive character.
The new Certina DS Action Diver 38mm is available worldwide from October 2026 through authorised Certina retailers, with a recommended retail price of CHF 865.
