Materials

stainless steel

The 316L stainless steel which Certina uses for cases, bracelets and clasps, for instance, is extremely resistant, corrosion-resistant and hypoallergenic. It contains only a very small proportion of nickel, which is not released when worn and therefore does not trigger any nickel allergies.

sapphire crystal

Sapphire watch crystal is made of aluminium oxide power (Al2O3) heated to over 2000°C. The resultant sapphire nugget is cut with great precision into fine slices, trimmed and polished. Sapphire is extremely scratch-resistant, shock-resistant and is very transparent. This is why sapphire crystal is an essential element in the DS Concept and is used by Certina in all of its models to protect the dials.

Features

big date

The big date, also called panorama date, is a particularly popular display showing the date in an enlarged date window by means of two discs placed either next to each other or overlapping. This elaborate display allows the date to be read quickly and easily.

Certina Nivachron™ balance spring

The mechanical movement of this watch is equipped with a Nivachron™ balance spring. This innovative material was developed to increase resistance to magnetic fields. This important component makes a lasting contribution to the reliability, robustness and accuracy of the timepiece.
