Certina DS PH200M C036.407.16.050.00

The Certina DS PH200M C036.407.16.050.00 is the heritage reissue, launched in 2018, of the original 1967 DS PH200M dive watch (ref. 5801-117). The PH200M name comes from 'Pression Hydrostatique', the hydrostatic-pressure rating that certifies its 200m water resistance. It runs the automatic Powermatic 80.111 caliber with up to 80 hours of power reserve, under a domed Hesalite crystal with a retro look. We have no verified price observations yet (n=0) for this reference, distinct from the DS Action Diver already in the catalog.

History

Certina was founded in 1888 in Grenchen, Switzerland, and is part of the Swatch Group. The DS ('Double Security') concept, introduced in 1959, combines an elastic shock-absorbing ring around the movement with an air cushion between dial and case to reinforce resistance to shocks and water.

In 1967, within that DS family, Certina launched the original DS PH200M (ref. 5801-117), a dive watch with a 38mm case. The PH letters stand for 'Pression Hydrostatique' (hydrostatic pressure), the rating that certified its resistance to 200 meters of depth — a notable figure for the era.

In October 2018, Certina reissued the model within its Heritage collection, as reference C036.407.16.050.00: a 41mm steel case, a bezel with a black aluminum insert, and a domed Hesalite crystal that reproduces the original's look instead of the flat sapphire typical of the brand's modern watches. Underneath it runs the automatic Powermatic 80.111 caliber, from the Powermatic 80 family with a Nivachron hairspring resistant to magnetic fields.

This heritage reissue is a distinct reference from the DS Action Diver already in Cazador's catalog, a contemporary dive watch with a ceramic bezel and ISO 6425 certification; the DS PH200M instead represents Certina's historical-reissue side.
