DS-2 Watch C0244071742100

The Watch

Certina is a Swiss watchmaking brand with over a century of history. Each new collection features exceptional designs that have sustained its solid international reputation, built on the finest Swiss craftsmanship. The brand's watches are celebrated for their sporty edge, authenticity, and versatile wearability. From the DS-2 collection, meet this superb C024.407.17.421.00 watch - a timepiece for every occasion. It features a barrel-shaped case crafted in 316L stainless steel, with a warm silver tone and a combination of polished and brushed finishes. The case measures 38 mm in diameter, 40 mm in length, and 12.65 mm in thickness, perfectly suited to men's wrists. It weighs 79 g and is topped by a convex sapphire crystal that shields the dial from the external shocks it regularly faces. The crystal also features an anti-reflective treatment for easy reading from any angle. All functions are easily adjusted via the crown at 3 o'clock. Finally, this timepiece is fitted with a screwed case back with a transparent display window, delivering water resistance of 30 ATM.

The Dial

This dial features a rich red backdrop that adds a romantic touch to the watch. Its smoked finish lends it an even more captivating look. The edge of the dial is framed by a minute track, accompanied by baton-shaped indices marking the hours. Both the indices and the baton hands are coated with Superluminova, ensuring excellent legibility even in the darkest environments. The hands sweep to indicate the hours and minutes, while the seconds hand handles the seconds. A date window at 3 o'clock updates day by day. Finishing the dial in style, the brand has placed its name and logo at 12 o'clock and the collection name at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is brought to life by a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the ETA Powermatic 80.611 caliber - ensuring precise analog display and date function. It boasts 25 jewels and delivers a power reserve of 80 hours. Highly efficient, this mechanism beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers magnetic field resistance thanks to its Nivachron balance spring.

The Strap

This handsome synthetic strap features a refined grained finish that only enhances its appeal. It comes in black with tone-on-tone topstitching that perfectly completes its look. Comfortable and secure, it stays firmly on men's wrists thanks to a steel pin buckle. The lug width is 20 mm, and swapping it out is a breeze thanks to its quick-release system.

Water Resistance

This model delivers water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - making it a true companion for deep-water activities. Built for free-dive snorkeling, this watch won't flinch around water. You can use it while operating high-pressure washers without worry. Showering, bathing, sport swimming, and free diving are all fair game. For scuba diving with tanks, however, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also be sure not to operate the crown or pushers while submerged, to protect the integrity of the movement.
