Highly water-resistant, timeless and durable - these three qualities are key attributes of Certina watches. Therefore, it’s no wonder that the brand’s logo is a turtle shell - a symbol of robustness and longevity. What do we know about this legendary manufacturer?

Certina watches - quality above all

Originally the Certina brand didn’t have the distinctive turtle shell in its logo. The company was founded in 1888 in Switzerland, a country renowned for the finest watches in the world. The manufacturer made it clear from the start that it wanted to meet the three strict criteria, namely Swiss quality, tradition and reliability. At the beginning, the company was known under a different name. The brand changed its name to "Certina" only in 1939. The name comes from the Latin word "certus", which means "sure". To this day, the manufacturer still holds firmly to what its name stands for - Certina watches have an excellent reputation for reliability.

The brand doesn’t stand still. On the contrary, it cares about innovation and modernity. The company has developed and patented several original solutions, gaining international recognition. The first of the brand’s innovations is the DS Concept for double security of the movement. The company also developed a Nivachron balance spring (an antimagnetic spring that ensures accurate timekeeping) and a precise Powermatic 80 automatic calibre with a power reserve of up to 80 hours. All Certina quartz watches are COSC-certified chronometers. The Precidrive movement, however, represents a new generation of quartz timepieces whose precision is comparable with that of chronometers.

Certina collections - watches for everyone

Four Certina collections have become the hallmark of the brand. Although each line is aimed at a different group of customers, all watches stand for quality and reliability.

Certina Heritage watches - a glimpse into the past

Certina is proud of its roots. The Certina Heritage collection draws inspiration from the brand’s illustrious history. The watches are characterised by a retro style that is still enjoying popularity today. Certina is more than 130 years old and its models are still very fashionable.

Each Certina watch represents a timeless design that allows you to enjoy it for many years to come. In addition, each timepiece combines the traditional art of watchmaking with a modern technical approach.

Certina Aqua watches: dive how you like

If you love sport, water is your element and you can’t imagine life without diving, be sure to check out the Certina Aqua collection. The line includes reliable diving watches for both men and women. The Certina brand is widely known for its high-quality watches designed for water sports and deep diving. That’s why it’s not surprising that the company is involved in many diving-related international projects. Check out, for example, the DS Action and DS Action Diver collections that offer watches with a high water resistance of more than 300 metres (this rating means you can go down deep underwater). By the way, did you know that Certina watches took part in the US Navy's Sealab II underwater project? What do you say for this?
