Certina introduces a quartet of striking new DS Action timepieces, each sporting a blacked-out aesthetic with vibrant color accents. This collection features two 38mm DS Action Diver models and two quartz-powered DS Action Chrono models, all inspired by the dynamic sport of padel. These new releases emphasize both style and functionality, catering to enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of sporty design and robust performance.

The DS Action Diver 38mm models are crafted with black PVD-coated stainless steel cases and are available with either bold orange or vivid green detailing on the seconds hand and matte ceramic dive bezel. These diving watches come equipped with a domed sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova for excellent legibility, and a date display at 3 o'clock. Each diver model includes an additional silicone strap in its accent color, complementing the matching black DLC-coated steel bracelet. Powered by the automatic Powermatic 80 movement, they offer an impressive 80-hour power reserve and are certified to ISO 6425:2018 standards for dive watches, ensuring a substantial 300m water resistance. Similarly, the DS Action Chrono models showcase a black PVD-coated stainless steel case in a larger 42mm size, paired with either orange or blue highlights. These chronographs feature an aluminum bezel insert and are powered by Certina’s highly accurate Precidrive quartz technology. Both Chrono versions maintain the same 300m water resistance, making them suitable for active lifestyles.

The entire DS Action range benefits from Certina’s proprietary DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance, which integrates a reinforced dial, a securely mounted movement, and a strengthened sapphire crystal to offer enhanced protection against impacts, vibrations, and shocks. While these timepieces exude a fashionable and sporty appeal, their core design prioritizes practical durability. Whether you're on the court or underwater, these watches are built to withstand challenging environments without compromising on their distinctive aesthetic.

These new Certina DS Action timepieces perfectly blend athletic design with Swiss precision and durability. They exemplify how modern watchmaking can cater to contemporary active lifestyles while maintaining a strong heritage of reliable craftsmanship. With their striking black finishes and vibrant accents, these watches are more than just time-telling instruments; they are statements of resilience and dynamic spirit, encouraging wearers to embrace both adventure and elegance.
