Tech & Toughness at a Glance

At its core, the new DS Action Diver 40.5mm is built for serious performance:

Case & Crystal: Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the 40.5mm diameter and 14.1mm thickness offer a balanced wrist presence. It's topped with a domed sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating for optimal clarity.

Waterproofing: This watch is a true diver's companion, certified to ISO 6425 standards with an impressive 300-meter depth rating.

Durability Upgrade: A significant new feature is the all-new DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance. This cutting-edge system is installed directly on the Powermatic 80 movement, providing enhanced protection against impacts and ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.

Movement: The watch is powered by the reliable Swiss automatic Powermatic 80.611 movement. It beats at 21,600 vph, boasts an 80-hour power reserve, and features a Nivachron hairspring for excellent antimagnetic resilience, crucial for maintaining accuracy.

Bezel & Legibility: The 120-click unidirectional ceramic bezel ensures precise timing of dives. For clear visibility in low-light conditions, the indices and hands are generously coated with Super-LumiNova.

C048.407.18.051.01 (NATO Strap Version)

This iteration comes with a black-and-beige textile NATO strap, offering a rugged and quick-drying alternative. The NATO strap not only adds a touch of personality with its yellow-tipped seconds hand but also provides an extra layer of security, ensuring the watch remains on your wrist even if a spring bar were to fail.
