Certina

Founded in 1888 by Adolf and Alfred Kurth, Certina is a Swiss watch brand known for its robust and sporty timepieces, particularly those featuring its DS" (Double Security) concept for enhanced shock and water resistance. The brand has a strong association with motorsports and diving. Famous models include the DS Action Diver, DS Podium, and DS-2, all embodying durability and precision. Certina primarily uses reliable ETA movements, often with custom finishing or Powermatic 80 enhancements, ensuring excellent performance. Certina continues to offer high-quality, resilient watches for active lifestyles."

Dial

The dial is the visible face of the watch, displaying the hour markers, branding, and other indications such as date windows, sub-dials, or scales. It plays a major role in the character, readability, and value of a timepiece. Dials are commonly replaced or restored when damaged, discolored, refinished, incorrectly fitted, or needed for a specific restoration project.
