Certina unveils the DS Super PH2000M, its deepest diver ever

The new Certina DS Super PH2000M combines a titanium case, 2,000-metre water resistance, Powermatic 80 movement and ceramic bezel. Price: CHF 1,235

Certina continues the evolution of its professional diving watches with the introduction of the new DS Super PH2000M, the deepest-rated model ever produced by the Swiss brand.

Water-resistant to 200 bar (2,000 metres / 6,560 feet), it doubles the depth rating achieved by previous PH models (the initials PH referring to hydrostatic pressure) while introducing the latest evolution of the Double Security concept through the new DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance.

Much like the turtle shell that has long served as Certina's emblem—and which decorates the solid caseback—the DS Super PH2000M is built to withstand extreme pressure and severe impacts.

Crafted from lightweight Grade 2 titanium and powered by the Powermatic 80 automatic movement, the collection debuts with four references, each supplied with a second strap to increase versatility.

Leading the range is the Sea Turtle Conservancy Limited Edition, Ref. C050.607.44.041.10, produced in 1,959 pieces in tribute to both the launch year of the DS Concept and the founding of the marine conservation organisation.

Continuing a partnership that has now lasted nine years, this edition features a turquoise fumé dial fading to black, paired with a black ceramic bezel accented in matching turquoise. 

It is delivered with a Grade 2 titanium bracelet and an additional turquoise silicone strap with white stitching.

The remaining three references complete the collection with distinct colour combinations. Ref. C050.607.44.051.02 features a black dial with beige Super-LumiNova, a titanium bracelet and an additional black rubber strap with beige stitching. 

Ref. C050.607.44.011.02 pairs a white dial with a titanium bracelet and an extra blue fabric strap with a white centre stripe, while Ref. C050.607.44.361.02 combines a yellow dial with a titanium bracelet and an additional black rubber strap with white stitching.

Crafted from lightweight Grade 2 titanium, the tonneau-shaped case measures 43 mm in diameter and 16 mm in thickness. Designed to withstand extreme underwater conditions, it features a screw-down crown and screw-down caseback together with a helium escape valve positioned at 9 o'clock. 

During saturation diving, helium atoms can penetrate the watch case under prolonged exposure to pressure; the automatic valve safely releases the accumulated gas during decompression, protecting the integrity of the movement.

The robust construction is complemented by a unidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a scratch-resistant ceramic insert and incorporating a secure push-to-turn locking system designed to prevent accidental rotation. 

A Super-LumiNova-filled triangle at 12 o'clock ensures immediate orientation in low-light conditions.

Designed for maximum legibility, the dial features large applied hour markers and hands generously coated with Super-LumiNova, while a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment enhances clarity both above and below the surface. 

A date display positioned at 3 o'clock completes the indications, while the brightly coloured minute hand provides an immediate visual reference during dives.

Powering the watch is the Swiss-made Powermatic 80.611 automatic movement. Fitted with an anti-magnetic Nivachron balance spring, it delivers a robust 80-hour power reserve while driving the central hours, minutes, seconds, and date.
