With a diameter of 48mm and a sophisticated yet sporty design, the counters, hands and minute track are in the same yellow as the stitching on the black rubber and hornback crocodile strap, a color which underscores the unique character of the King Power 692 Bang – a color representative of the yellow taxi cabs that line the streets of Manhattan.

CERTINA – Gent Quartz DS Eagle Precidrive
















CERTINA – Gent Quartz DS Eagle NEW

Extreme protection for exceptional times
The DS Eagle is a timepiece for those with a taste for the unique and unusual. It brings together extreme-sport design inspiration and outstanding finish to a highly accurate timepiece with a Swiss-Made ETA Precidrive quartz movement. Rubber detailing on the bezel and gorgeous brushed/polished finishing strike up a rugged, virile design around a stainless-steel case with PVD rose-gold and black.

The DS Eagle leaves no one unimpressed. Its ETA Precidrive quartz movement ensures full precision under the most demanding circumstances and its great appearance draws glances wherever it goes, despite an exceptional quality/price ratio.

The large (44mm) PVD rose-gold brushed/polished case opens onto a broad dial with a sporty, technical feel. Behind a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both faces, a central textured area complements the strong geometrics of the case. Large skeletonised HM hands treated with Superluminova, a contrasting red second hand and a date window at the six o’clock position report time with great legibility.

Over the PVD black stainless-steel bezel, an innovative black moulded-rubber overlay with white numerals reinforces the dynamic nature of the DS Eagle, along with a PVD black stainless-steel strip bearing the CERTINA name and fastened to the left side of the case with two PVD black screws.

Balancing this sturdy design, are two crown protection elements also in PVD black steel and held by similar screws, on either side of the screw-in crown, trimmed with a sporty red line. The watch is water-resistant up to a pressure of 20 bar (200 m) and is equipped with a screw-on case back that shows an embossed CERTINA turtle motif, past and present symbol of water-resistance, robustness and long life for the brand.

Other versions include a two-tone (stainless steel/PVD black) model with a black rubber strap, as well as an all-black version with a black rubber strap, a black dial and black and Superluminova white indices.
