The 316L stainless steel, which Certina uses for cases, bracelets and clasps for instance, is extremely resistant, corrosion-resistant and hygienic. It contains only a very small proportion of nickel, which is not emitted when worn and therefore does not trigger any nickel allergies.
Sapphire watch crystal is made of aluminium oxide powder (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.
An innovative new titanium-based alloy that is used for balance springs. This revolutionary material was developed in collaboration with the Swatch Group and is used in selected brands. Nivachron™ springs are highly resistant to magnetic fields, shock, ageing and temperature fluctuations, lending them extremely high mechanical precision and making them remarkably reliable in everyday use.
Since 1959, the DS Concept has reflected Certina's uncompromising standards. The secret behind this "Double Security" (DS) lies in a robust design which, with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, sophisticated sealing system that includes the stem and crown, and reinforced watch back, covers every aspect of the watch case. Thanks to the DS Concept, every single one of Certina's timepieces boasts outstanding resistance – a quality that their owners can always rely on.
It is possible to enhance the quality of a sapphire crystal to an even greater extent by providing it with an anti-reflective coating on one or both sides. The Certina brand is becoming increasingly focussed on equipping its timepieces with an extremely high-quality anti-reflective coating on both sides, whereby several layers of this coating on both sides of the crystal ensure that it is possible to see through the timepieces in an optimum manner.
The power reserve provides you with information about how long a mechanical timepiece can run for without being wound. Most timepieces have a power reserve of around 38 to 42 hours. Certina's innovative Powermatic 80 automatic calibre offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours – almost double as long as comparable models.
Certina is a Swiss manufactory with generations of tradition. It appeared on the market in 1888, and today it is one of the leading premium brands. It is a brand, recognizable not only by its logo with the symbol of a tortoise shell - it is also a company, presenting values strongly rooted in its DNA. Reliability, Swiss quality and tradition - these are the three pillars of Certina's standards.
Certina Urban luxury watches are models equipped with automatic movements with Powermatic 80 Nivachron technology and quartz movements (precision is confirmed by COSC certification), richly decorated dials adorned with diamonds and mother-of-pearl, and enhanced with functional complications such as moon phase indicators. Urban models are exclusive jewelry for men and women.
DS-1 Big Date is a series of models that combine features of Certina Urban and Heritage. It's love for cosmopolitan lifestyle and heritage, and a modern automatic movement that guarantees the highest precision in gait. A degradé dial and a panoramic day-of-the-month date feature the watch.
Sapphire crystal glass is the protection of the dial, which has the Certina men's watch C029.426.11.051.00. Its hardness is as high as 9/10 points on the Mohs scale, so the watch is protected from scratches.
At the heart of the Certina C029.426.11.051.00 watch is the Powermatic 80 automatic movement, whose phenomenal power reserve is as high as 80 hours. In addition, the watch has 23 bearing stones, and its frequency of operation is 21600 vibrations per hour. The size of the mechanism is 25.60 mm by 4.60 mm.
An electromagnetic field unsettles the automatic watch. The Nivachron titanium hairspring is a modern solution in the mechanism of the Certina watch C029.426.11.051.00. Titanium is resistant to magnetism, as well as to aging, shock and temperature fluctuations.
DS Concept is Certina's innovative technology comprising 5 solutions: a sapphire crystal, an o-ring seal on the shaft, two on the crown, one on the caseback, and a caseback reinforcement. This protects the C029.426.11.051.00 model from shocks and extreme weather and pressure conditions.
The Certina C029.426.11.051.00 is equipped with a water resistance of 100 meters, which means that it is protected against direct flooding in case of swimming and bathing.
