Certina DS-7: A sporty and contemporary new collection

A new watch family

The DS-7 introduces a sporty aesthetic to your wrist and is sure to evoke nostalgia in watch enthusiasts with a fondness for vintage timepieces. Drawing inspiration from a 1970s model, the design of this new product line seamlessly blends retro charm with a distinctly contemporary flair, characterized by its dynamic lines, stylish elements, and exceptional durability. The collection debuts with two exciting models: an automatic three-hand watch and a quartz chronograph.

Clear and focused: The DS-7 Powermatic 80

This new mechanical timepiece boasts hours, minutes, seconds, and a date display, all elegantly presented within a 39 mm stainless steel case. Its heart beats with a Powermatic 80 movement, featuring an antimagnetic NivachronTM hairspring, and its inner workings can be readily admired through the sapphire crystal case back. On the watch face, vibrant colored dials, such as the rich dark green with a sunray finish, infuse a fresh and modern aesthetic. Striking indexes and hands ensure clarity, even in low-light conditions, thanks to their comprehensive coating with Super-LumiNova®. The stainless steel bracelet showcases an entirely new design that seamlessly flows into the case, emphasizing the watch’s style and high-end quality.

Sporting elegance: The DS-7 Chronograph

The DS-7 Chronograph, exuding a sporty allure, if not exceeding it, features a precise PrecidriveTM quartz movement encased in a round 41 mm stainless steel casing. Alongside the hour, minute, small seconds, and date functions, it boasts a central stop seconds hand, a 1/10th second display, and a 30-minute counter. A slender bezel with a tachometric scale provides a convenient means to measure speeds. Whether adorned with a metallic sheen or donning a sleek brushed black finish, these watches are modern classics that you’ll be eager to wear day in and day out.

A pair for all seasons

The DS-7 collection earns high acclaim for its enhanced durability and exceptional robustness, attributes that owe much to the Double Security concept, proudly denoted by the abbreviation (DS) in all Certina timepieces. DS incorporates various features, including a protective crown, contributing to the DS-7’s impressive water resistance of up to 10 bar (100 meters). These watches consistently demonstrate that Swiss precision, style, and sporty functionality harmonize seamlessly.

Starting in September 2023, the new DS-7 watches will be available through authorized Certina dealers worldwide.
