Cutting-edge technology, self-confident dynamism, reliability and an exclusive, distinguished design are also found here at Certina.

This striking chronograph with its cushion-shaped case likes to move between worlds: The design of the ds Chronograph Automatic is inspired by a popular 1960s model, but the heart of the watch beats to the beat of a modern automatic caliber with a silicon hairspring. Silicon hairspring The hairspring of this watch is made of silicon. This innovative high-tech material is one of the latest achievements in modern watchmaking and is extremely resistant to magnetic fields, shocks and temperature changes. This increases the accuracy of the watch in the long term. A cushion-shaped case The cushion-shaped case combines a square shape with gentle curves. Watches of this type were especially popular in the 1960s and 1970s, so this shape often gives modern models a subtle retro look. Good and beautiful - textile strap Watch strap made of #tide ocean material not only looks great and is very durable, it also serves a good purpose: the high-quality yarn that makes up this textile strap originally comes from plastic waste fished from the sea and collected on beaches.
