I knew I had a few vintage Certinas and pulled this DS-2 non quickset day/date out earlier this week.This is a 40yr. old example of how watches should be made...to last forever.
....It has an acrylic domed crystal,enamel dial and nicely finished brushed/polished curved case.As you can see it houses an in-house Certina 25-652 automatic with anti-magnetic and double shock protection..
...I was thinking of having the movement cleaned and serviced but since bringing it out of hibernation for the past 4 years and winding it up it is running well within COSC specs...no need imho and once again a watch that was built to last.
....If Certina is still building their watches at this level than imo Certina would be a great choice for any WIS.
