Certina Watches – Swiss Precision with Double Security
A Legacy Since 1888
Certina was founded in 1888 in Grenchen, Switzerland, by brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth. The name “Certina” comes from the Latin word “certus,” meaning “certain” or “secure.” This commitment to security and quality continues to define Certina watches to this day.
The DS Concept – Double Security
At the core of every Certina watch is the renowned “DS Concept” (Double Security), which ensures maximum durability. This design includes scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a sophisticated sealing system, and reinforced cases and case backs – all essential for enhanced reliability.
Turtle Shell Symbol – A Mark of Strength
Every Certina watch proudly bears the abbreviation “DS” and features the iconic turtle shell emblem – a visual symbol of protection and strength, found on all Certina timepieces.
Four Distinct Collections
Certina watches are organized into four key lines: Sport, Aqua, Urban, and Heritage. Sport models such as DS Podium, DS Eagle, and DS Chronograph Automatic offer stopwatch functionality, date display, and robust materials like stainless steel, rubber, and titanium.
Aqua, Urban & Heritage – Style Meets Performance
The Aqua collection emphasizes water resistance and Super-LumiNova hands and indexes. Urban and Heritage models offer a refined balance of sportiness and timeless elegance, making them perfect for everyday wear or formal occasions.
Sports Heritage and Iconic Ambassadors
Certina’s deep connection to sports is also reflected in its ambassadors. Biathlon legend Ole Einar Bjørndalen is a long-time brand ambassador, and even heavyweight boxing icon Muhammad Ali wore a Certina men’s watch back in 1976.
Swiss Movements – Powermatic, C01.211 & Precidrive
Certina watches are powered by highly respected Swiss movements. The Powermatic 80 offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve. The C01.211 is a reliable chronograph movement, and the Precidrive movement is known for its outstanding accuracy – close to chronometer-level precision.
