The Watch

Founded in 1888, Certina is a watchmaking brand that has made its mark through creations combining modern technology, attractive designs, and absolute reliability. Its models incorporate innovations such as the Double Security concept (DS), which since 1959 has ensured superior resistance. They are the perfect embodiment of its expertise and the excellence of Swiss watchmaking. Today, the manufacture reaffirms its passion for the ocean depths with this stunning reissue of a 1970 model. This is the DS Super PH1000M STC C0249071704110, a blend of retro style and functionality that will leave a lasting impression. Offered as a special edition, its cushion-shaped case is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a silver tone and brushed finish for a beautiful result. It measures 43.50 mm in width and 14.20 mm in thickness, with a weight of 120 g. It is perfectly suited to men's wrists, its imposing case enhanced by the Double Security system for added robustness. It features a stunning stainless steel bezel fitted with a blue aluminum insert. Unidirectional, it displays a minute scale from 0 to 60 minutes and a luminescent marker at 12 o'clock. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal that shields it from shocks and external damage, while its anti-reflective coating ensures optimal readability. The time indicators are set via the screw-down crown positioned at 3 o'clock. Its grooved design provides a better grip for easy handling. Finally, the screw-down caseback guarantees water resistance of 100 ATM.

The Dial

The dial of this model is both urban and elegant. Its striking blue hue draws you into the depths of the ocean, while silver indicators create a beautiful contrast. Practical features take center stage, and the overall presence commands attention. The perimeter is lined with a minute track for precise timekeeping. Twelve geometric indices frame the dial, pointed to by two sword-shaped hands and a lollipop seconds hand. The longer hand in orange marks the minutes, while the shorter one marks the hours. Both hands and indices are coated with Superluminova for excellent readability in low-light conditions. A date window at 3 o'clock displays the current date. The brand's logo and name are positioned at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

This remarkable timepiece is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement - the Powermatic 80.611 caliber built on an ETA base and renowned for its undeniable robustness. It is equipped with a Nivachron antimagnetic hairspring and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. This reliable mechanism delivers precise display of hours, minutes, seconds, and the date, with a power reserve of 80 hours.

The Strap

You'll love the strap that comes with this stunning watch. Crafted in black synthetic rubber, it enhances the watch's charm with an urban edge. It sits comfortably on the wrist and pairs with any outfit. Its lug width is 20 mm, and it fastens with a pin buckle in 316L stainless steel. The quick-release system lets you swap it out effortlessly.

Water Resistance

Water-resistant to 100 atmospheres, or 1,000 meters, this watch is purpose-built for deep-sea diving. Thanks to its screw-down caseback and crown, you can explore the ocean's depths without hesitation. This model also features a helium escape valve to manage helium levels inside the case and control decompression chamber pressure - making it ready to take on any aquatic environment, no matter the depth.
