HOROLOGY & WATCH PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome to our dedicated space for Certina watches, the historic Swiss brand renowned for its unwavering commitment to robustness, precision, and accessible sport-luxury design since 1888. Founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, Certina earned its place in horological history in 1959 with the invention of the revolutionary DS (Double Security) concept—an ultra-durable shock-absorption and water-resistance architecture that has protected its timepieces across Himalayan expeditions and deep-sea oceanic research.
Here, you will find in-depth technical reviews, caliber analysis, and field tests covering one of the most respected names in Swiss tool watches.
DS Action & DS Action Diver: The brand’s flagship dive watch family. Engineered to strict ISO 6425 professional diving standards, these models feature extreme water resistance (up to 300m), ceramic bezels, and highly legible luminescent dials.
DS PH Series (PH200M, PH500M & PH1000M): Authentic retro revivals from Certina’s golden age of ocean exploration. Featuring vintage cushion cases and distinctive colorful bezels, these models pay homage to 1960s and ’70s aquatic research projects.
DS Podium: Dynamic sports chronographs and versatile daily wearers, blending sleek stainless steel cases with sharp tachymeter bezels and high-precision timing functionality.
Heritage & Urban: Elegant dress and classic daily watches inspired by mid-century Swiss designs, pairing vintage aesthetics with modern anti-magnetic movement technology.
Every Certina timepiece is built upon the foundational DS Concept, utilizing reinforced cases, specialized O-ring gaskets, and sapphire crystals for maximum durability. As part of the Swatch Group, Certina equips its mechanical watches with advanced calibers like the Powermatic 80—featuring an extended 80-hour power reserve and innovative anti-magnetic Nivachron™ balance springs for uncompromised accuracy in daily life.
Discover the new Certina DS Super PH2000M, an extreme titanium grade 2 diver’s watch water-resistant up to 2,000 meters, featuring automatic movement and bold style.
Certina introduces three new colorful models of the DS Action Diver 38mm Titanium, combining grade 2 titanium, ceramic bezels, and Powermatic 80 movements.
