DS-1 Big Date 60th Anniversary: 

traditional reliability

For 60 years now the initials “DS” have been synonymous with reliability. With the introduc-tion of Double Security in 1959, Certina set new standards.

Since then the ultra-robust con-cept has been adapted many times over to meet the demands of contemporary life. To mark this anniversary the brand presents a timepiece combining the timeless style of the past with today’s most advanced features.

The DS-1 Big Date 60th Anniversary presents a dark green dial enhanced by the classic elegance of a Milanese bracelet. It also features an automatic movement that sets new standards in terms of anti-magnetism – thanks to its innovative Ni-vachron™ balance spring. Traditions, after all, must be kept up.

60 Years of Double Security

Since its premiere in 1959 the DS Concept has had many opportunities to prove itself in the eyes of a worldwide audience. On the occasion of the first ascent of a Himalayan peak or while researching the depths of the ocean: Certina’s DS watches have faced and overcome the most extreme conditions.

The secret of their Double Security (DS) lies in elaborate protective features. The extremely robust construc-tion extends to the entire watch case – from the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and reinforced case back to the intricate system of seals – implemented in all models in the current Certina collection.

A worthy successor

The DS-1 Big Date 60th Anniversary is a modern interpretation of its adventurous predecessors. The do-med dial is presented with pride in the signature Certina green. The dégradé effect and sunburst finish enhance the intense hue and lend visual depth.

A big date at 6 o’clock, finely facetted wedge-shaped indexes and long hands ensure clear legibility. The back of the 41 mm diameter case presents a comme-morative 60th anniversary imprint. A stainless steel Milanese mesh bracelet rounds off the elegant look. The watch is presented in special packaging.

Modern mechanics with Nivachron balance spring

At the heart of the new model is a Powermatic 80 movement of the latest generation: along with a power reserve of up to 80 hours it features a completely new type of balance spring made from Nivach-ron™. This innovative material was developed with the Swatch Group to enable improved resistance to magnetic fields. Certina is now among the first brands to make use of this new material.

Because it is based on titanium, the Swiss Made balance spring is also highly resistant to fluctuations in temperature and presents excellent shock resistance. In sum, sixty years after the premiere of the Double Security concept, the latest DS-1 once again sets a new standard of reliability. Count on me.

TUDOR – HERITAGE Black Bay CHRONO Dark

TUDOR – HERITAGE Black Bay CHRONO Dark Reference 79360DK Limited Edition - 2019

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

To mark the Rugby World Cup 2019™ and celebrate its partnership with New Zealand’s national rugby team, TUDOR presents a black version of its Black Bay chronograph in a limited edition with the same number of timepieces as All Blacks players since the team’s creation. An additional model will be added every time a new player is selected.

One Player, One Watch

To celebrate the All Blacks legacy and mark the Rugby World Cup 2019 (RWC) as the team will defend its back-to-back champions title, TUDOR is launching the Black Bay Chrono Dark model, a new black version – matching the All Blacks’ famous jersey – of its chronograph, fitted with a Manufacture Calibre with column wheel and vertical clutch.

Unusually for TUDOR, the new model is a limited edition: a watch to pay tribute to every player who has been selected for New Zealand’s national rugby team from its creation in 1884 to the RWC 2019, or 1181 timepieces at the time of writing.

--------------------------------

The number will be adjusted according to the final composition of the World Cup team. The series will grow over the coming years as new players join the ranks of the All Blacks.

Black Coating

The Black Bay Chrono Dark model features a characteristic satin-brushed steel bracelet for a matt effect, finished with a black PVD-treated coating. Directly derived from the thin-film technology originally developed by NASA for its various space programmes, PVD, or Physical Vapour Deposition, enables practically any inorganic material to be bonded with metals.

2/4 Of course, the colour choice is a reference to the All Blacks team that TUDOR has been supporting since 2017, reinforced by the presence of a special engraving on the case back indicating the serial number of each timepiece.

Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813

Boasting a 70-hour power reserve, a silicon balance spring and a certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute, the Manufacture chronograph Calibre MT5813 that drives the Black Bay Chrono Dark model is a high-performance movement.

It has been crafted in the purest watchmaking tradition, with column wheel mechanism and vertical clutch. In keeping with the TUDOR philosophy of quality, it presents extraordinary robustness and reliability, guaranteed by an array of extreme tests applied to all TUDOR products.

Derived from the Manufacture chronograph Calibre Breitling 01, with a high-precision regulating organ developed by TUDOR and dedicated finishes, the movement is the result of a lasting collaboration between the two brands.

They have chosen to pool their expertise in the design and production of certain mechanical movements so that both parties can benefit from their use.
