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.
Leather is extremely strong, breathable and hard-wearing. The process of manufacturing a leather strap comprises a large number of steps, such as treatment with plant-based tanning agents. Certina uses calf leather only and no exotic types of leather – the straps are therefore not subject to CITES regulations. The pattern on some Certina straps, such as the crocodile print, is created using a careful embossing process. Certina leather straps are lined with an anti-allergenic synthetic material to provide added comfort when worn and to minimise skin sensitivity.
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.
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.
