Certina Watches

In our time, the Swiss watch Certina is the standard of sports watches. It is worth mentioning that the way of the invention of this watch was not smooth: during the research the chronometer was mounted in a dynamometer, a hockey puck and the hub of the wheel of a racing car. All tests were successfully passed, the brand became world famous and popular.

Little history :

Certina watch production began in 1888. The founders are brothers Kurt, who called his job Grana. They were originally from a town that bore that name. Initially, the watch mechanisms and related parts were made. These were the first steps that did not make the company special, given the fact that at the beginning of the last century the production of watches experienced a real boom.

But 50 years have passed, and the company has changed. It got the name that is still-Cetrina. The meaning of this word is very symbolic. With Latin certus translated as"reliability." This word has become the credo and business card of the company.

Today Certina is a part of the most famous, influential and large concern of Swatch Group. It is a great honor, because to join the elite means to show unwavering loyalty to traditions and the desire for self-development. Cetrina has always been one of the most competitive brands on the market.

What is the secret?

The " secret ingredient "of the company's products is the proprietary concept of Double Security (DS), which means"double protection". Behind this phrase lies:

    A thick sapphire crystal

    Sealing ring on the head stem

    Special padding on the thick back cover of the case

Over time, the DS system has been subjected to improvements and additions.

DS+ has become a fantastic replacement for DS. Features of the new system was the presence of screw-down crown and back cover.

The DS 1000 series of chronometers was the biggest achievement of the company. These watches have been successfully tested at great depths and used by professional divers who made deep-sea dives.  Certina DS 1000 has a helium valve, the main task of which is to protect the chronometer glass from helium molecules. The danger of helium is that with a sharp pressure drop, it is able to crush the glass.
