Certina watches

Certina proudly carries the title of one of the Swiss watch industry's most prestigious brands. With roots in Grenchen, Switzerland, Certina has dedicated more than a century to creating watches of unsurpassed quality and style. Certina watches are built on three core values: precision, innovation, and reliability. Every Certina watch bears a mark of Swiss perfection, and the brand is known for maintaining the highest standards in watch production. From luxurious materials to modern technology, Certina combines elegance with functionality, making their exclusive watches a popular choice among those seeking the best.

Swiss quality with DS Double Security

Certina's commitment to quality is visible in every watch they create. Swiss craftsmanship has long been synonymous with top quality in watch production, and Certina continues this proud tradition. Each watch undergoes strict quality controls to ensure it meets the highest standards of accuracy and durability. All watches from Certina are stamped "Swiss Made," which is the highest "honor" a watch can receive. Swiss Made watches meet many requirements regarding quality, materials, and production; therefore, as a user, you know the watch is of the highest quality.

Certina goes several steps further when it comes to the quality and robustness of their watches. The Swiss watch brand invented the award-winning DS technology. DS stands for Double Security, and it is the cornerstone of all Certina watches. This advanced technology combines multiple layers of protection to ensure the watch remains precise and functional under even the most challenging conditions. From water resistance to shock-absorbing properties, DS Double Security is a testament to Certina's commitment to delivering watches that exceed expectations.

The history of Certina

Certina is a global watch brand, founded in 1888 by brothers Adolf Kurth and Alfred Kurth in Grenchen, Switzerland. The brand has a proud and rich history in the watch world and has, since its beginning, focused on producing watches that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also robust, reliable, and precise. Certina's history is characterized by innovation and technological progress. The brand has consistently been at the forefront when it comes to integrating advanced features and materials into their watches. This constant pursuit of excellence has made Certina a synonym for Swiss precision and quality.

The brand's innovation led to a significant milestone in 1959, when they introduced the breakthrough DS technology for the first time. This technological breakthrough was a game-changer in the watch industry and positioned Certina as a brand that prioritizes durability and reliability. The DS concept includes several layers of protection, ranging from shock resistance to water resistance, ensuring that Certina watches function optimally under all conditions.

Today, Certina is recognized as one of the leading players in luxury watches. Their collections, from DS Action to DS-1 and DS Podium, testify to the brand's ability to unite tradition and innovation.

However, the watches are still equipped with the sought-after DS technology, making them incredibly durable and resistant to shocks and scratches.

Certina DS-2 is the perfect combination of a unique yet stylish design. The watches have an elegant oval case that stands out, but simultaneously offers clean lines on the dial. Therefore, the DS-2 is the obvious choice for men and women who want a unique but elegant watch that is still incredibly robust and of very high quality.

Certina DS-7

Certina DS-7 combines retro-inspired design with modern Swiss precision. The watches have a slim and streamlined design with clear references to the geometric shapes of the 1970s. The integrated bracelet design blends elegantly with the case, emphasizing the minimalist yet unique look. The watches consist of high-quality materials and include models for both men and women.

Certina DS-8 watches are technological wonders. The watches are often equipped with the popular moon phase chronograph, which shows the phase of the moon. Additionally, there are many models with the sought-after small second chronograph, giving the watches a unique expression.

For women who value elegance and precision, Certina ladies watches are the ideal choice. These watches combine sophisticated design with advanced technology and are created to accompany modern women in any situation. Certina ladies watches are jewelry of time that not only measure moments but also reflect personal style.

Certina automatic watches

At Ditur, you can find a large selection of automatic watches from the Swiss quality brand. An automatic watch is a wristwatch with an automatic movement, meaning the watch is charged by the kinetic energy generated when the watch is in motion. Therefore, the watch will always be charged as long as it is being used or if it sits in a watch winder. Consequently, automatic watches are not equipped with a battery, and you will never need to change a battery in the watch.

Certina is particularly known for the high quality of their innovation, which has led the Swiss brand to have some of the longest power reserves on the market. Their watches are equipped with the sought-after Powermatic 80 movement, which gives the watch a power reserve of a full 80 hours. This means that when the watch is fully charged, it will last for 80 hours before it needs to be charged by movement again.

Ditur is a huge fan of Certina Automatic watches, and we therefore offer more than 100 different models in stock. Thus, you can confidently find your favorite whether you are looking for a smaller watch at 38 mm or 39 mm or a slightly larger watch at 43 mm or 46 mm. The watches also come from the most popular collections such as DS Action, DS 6, and DS 7, providing great opportunities to find your new favorite watch in our selection.

Certina quartz watches

Certina does not only excel with their automatic watches, as they are also particularly well-known for their quartz watches. A quartz movement means the watches are battery-powered, and they therefore require almost no maintenance besides a battery change once in a while. Additionally, watches with quartz movements will typically be slightly cheaper than watches with automatic movements, making them the obvious choice if you want a watch with a beautiful design but do not wish to pay more for a specific movement.

The brand uses its own quartz movements in its watches, and these movements are extremely reliable and accurate. Therefore, Certina quartz watches are a definite favorite worldwide.
