Certina DS-2 – design rooted in 1968

The retro-inspired look is combined with modern materials, precise movements, and features such as a date display, sapphire crystal, and higher water resistance on relevant models.

The result is a watch that both pays tribute to Certina’s history and fits seamlessly into a modern wardrobe.

Certina DS-2 with quartz or automatic movement

Certina DS-2 is available with different movements depending on the model. In Viclara’s current selection, you will find the models available online, while the full DS-2 collection also includes both quartz watches and automatic models.

A quartz watch is powered by a battery and is precise, reliable, and easy to use in everyday life. An automatic DS-2 watch has a mechanical movement that is wound by the movement of your arm as you wear the watch.

Always check the individual product description for information about the movement, power reserve, and functions.
