The Certina DS-8 Powermatic 80 pairs a traditional look with a 'Powermatic 80' movement, which offers a 80 hour power reserve once fully wound. This movement can be admired through a see-through case back. Time is indicated by a set of elegant stick hands. The dial has Roman numerals on a white base. In the version shown both case and bracelet are partially (pvd-)coated in yellow gold.
