Certina RAMPS UP SUPPORT FOR SEA TURTLE CONSERVANCY with new DS SUPER PH1000M STC

Certina reinforces its long-term collaboration with the non-profit Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) with a colourful timepiece: the DS SUPER PH1000M STC. Since 2017 Certina and STC have worked together to help protect sea turtles and their natural environments.

Inspired by the historic DS SUPER PH1000M from 1970, this eye-catching new timepiece presents a fascinating blue dial with orange accents and luminous indexes. Its Powermatic 80 movement has an 80-hour power reserve and NivachronTM balance spring.

Sea turtles under threat of extinction

Founded in 1959, Florida-based STC works to ensure the survival of sea turtles through research, information campaigns and practical measures designed to assist wounded or endangered animals. That same year Certina introduced the DS concept and its turtle symbol; Certina and turtles have been together for 65 years now.

In addition to financial support, Certina produces videos and content regarding STC projects, organises joint press events and makes use of special POS displays to raise awareness. Rising sea levels and water temperatures, plastic waste, beachfront construction and disorienting lighting combine to form a growing threat to the survival of the species.

A maritime timepiece with a passion for extreme depths, the DS SUPER PH1000M STC offers exceptional water resistance to 100 bar (1,000 metres), while its Powermatic 80 movement delivers a precise and reliable heartbeat. Complementing the DS (Double Security) build are standout features including the unidirectional turning bezel with security system, automatic winding, a power reserve of up to 80 hours and an anti-magnetic NivachronTM balance spring.

The dial hints at the special blue of the STC logo, and the orange accents are identical in tone to those on existing models of the DS Super PH1000M, creating a striking contrast to the robust black rubber strap. All in all, this impressive diver’s watch is ready for adventure, on land or underwater.

Certina shares STC’s tireless commitment to protecting sea turtles and has collaborated with the conservancy since 2017. The brand has released numerous special editions of its timepieces, melding horological expertise, superb craftsmanship and robust design with the enduring aims of the STC. As was the case with these earlier editions, a portion of the proceeds from sales goes directly to the STC.

The watch is worn with a PVD coated stainless steel bracelet. White ceramic links add fashionable accents to the bi-colour version.

A precise heartbeat

CERTINA – DS+ Multiply Your Style Сoncept Watches

CERTINA – Concept Kit DS+ Multiply Your Style Powermatic 80 Concept Automatic

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

One watch, an infinite number of possibilities. With the DS+, Certina celebrates the premiere of a spectacular new watch concept: a timepiece that offers not just a choice of straps, but a range of watch case shapes as well, to be combined to suit your personal preferences. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Choose a sporty or a vintage look, a maritime or urban style: thanks to an ingenious three-part design you can easily change the look of the watch – without using any tools and in just a few steps – to suit your current outfit, a special occasion, or just because you feel like it. At the same time, the reliability, solid construction and precision of the mechanical Powermatic 80 movement with Nivachron™ balance spring remain unchanged. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

As for the irresistible transformations over time – Certina brings them to the wrist in style, with a timepiece that is more than just a watch, in every respect.

Sophisticated design concept

The secret of the DS+ lies in a three-part construction: watch head, watch case and strap. Each of the three elements is a self-contained unit that can be combined as desired with the other two. The round watch head, available with three different dials, is pressed from below into one of the six stainless steel watch cases and screwed securely into place using a separate crown on the case. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

An innovative gasket made of bio-sourced material ensures a perfect seal. The strap lugs are located on the case, which makes it possible to use Certina’s quick-change system to attach the desired strap. Certina retail outlets offer the watches in three different kits, each with a watch head, two watch cases and two straps. All elements can also be purchased individually online.

Three kits, and ample space for your individual style

The DS+ kits available in retail present some of the most beautiful combinations. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Kit Aqua & Sport takes a dynamic approach: a black dial with sunray finish encounters the maritime watch case with a unidirectional black rotating bezel, and its sporty version with elongated flanks and six screws. 

 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Both are worn with a black and grey fabric strap made from #tide ocean material® and a three-row metal bracelet.

Kit Sport & Urban impresses with its elegant bi-colour visuals.

The silver dial with gold-coloured indexes and sunray finish is a perfect complement to the pure urban version and its sporty counterpart with its gold PVD coating, dark brown leather strap and stainless steel Milanese bracelet.  

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Kit Urban & Heritage appeals to fans and friends of vintage watches. 

 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The dark blue dial with sunray finish and gold-coloured indexes comes with a cushion-shaped watch case with four visible screws and the bi-colour urban version, worn with the matching blue NATO fabric strap or three-row metal bracelet.  

In good company, inside and out

A watch with so many design options needs to be powered by a reliable and robust movement. Thus Certina has opted for a modern Powermatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve and NivachronTM balance spring.  This innovative material is unaffected by magnetic fields and delivers maximum mechanical precision over the long term. Along with the hour, minute and seconds hands, the watch has a date window at 6 o’clock. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Thanks to its ultra-robust construction with screw-in case back and screw down crown it offers water resistance up to 20 bar (200 m). Each kit is presented in an elegant box in which every element is held securely in its place. And in keeping with our sustainability goals, the packaging is made entirely of recyclable materials.

Experience flexibility

The many different personalisation options offered by the new DS+ can be experienced digitally and close at hand. The online configurator, for example, allows you to easily set up your personal favourite combination at any time and to have it sent directly to your home by the Certina Online Shop. Alternatively, you may wish to have a look at it using the Check & Reserve service at your preferred Certina retailer.

The three DS+ kits sold at retail dealers, and the additional online order options, are available worldwide from October 2022.

Inspired by heroes from the past

This timepiece, which goes back to the DS Chronograph Automatic 1968 , carries a legendary name: at the end of the 1960s the DS Argonaut caused a sensation with its striking case and robust workmanship. Inspired by this model, the Swiss watchmaker has developed a worthy successor that would cut a fine figure in any tale of mythical heroes.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The DS Chronograph Automatic 1968 is presented in a cushion-shaped stainless steel case (43.5 mm x 43.5 mm) with a black PVD surface. Sapphire crystal on the front and back of the watch provide optimal clarity and legibility. A round sapphire ring, fitted with a black/white scale printed from beneath, lends visual depth to the unidirectional rotating bezel.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

And thanks to their Super-LumiNova® coating, the sharply angled hands and indexes stand out clearly against the black dial even in the dark.

Functionality and resistance

An elegant vintage style is only one of the many facets of the new DS Chronograph Automatic 1968 . Another is its sporty character, underscored, for example, by the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and complemented by the central stop seconds and a small seconds at 9 o’clock.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The striking screw-down crown and water resistance up to 20 bar (200 m) contribute to enhanced robustness. The matt black leather strap with white decorative stitching – easily exchanged thanks to the Certina quick-change system – offers additional safety and comfort.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTOAlong with the black version, a stainless steel edition with orange accents on the dial and a black and white striped NATO strap made from recycled #tide ocean material® is also available.

A calm and steady heartbeat

Ticking tirelessly inside the watch is the A05.H31 automatic (self-winding) movement with a 60-hour power reserve.

It is equipped with a silicon balance spring whose innovative material protects it against the everyday enemies of mechanical rate precision: magnetic fields, changes in temperature and shocks have no effect on its steady reliability.
