Pre-Baselworld 2014: DS-2 Chronograph - Perfect accuracy by design

Few quartz chronographs can boast of having the absolute precision of a chronometer. The DS-2 Chronograph is one such watch, thanks to its very accurate ETA PRECIDRIVE movement with 1/100th sec. function. Now, the DS-2 is also available in a sporty matching leather-strap version, with either green or yellow detailing. Faultless precision and stunning good looks.

The true power of chrono timing comes alive through its measurable accuracy. At its core, the CERTINA DS-2 Chronograph houses a Swiss-Made ETA PRECIDRIVE quartz movement, with 1/100th-sec., 12h, 30m, 60s functions and date. This cutting-edge movement offers the precision of a chronometer in a sporty and handsome timepiece available in a variety of models, including this new green or yellow-detailed leather strap version with matching chronograph hands.

The sporty elegance of the DS-2 comes from a subtle blend of design elements, such as its brushed/polished 41mm 316L stainless-steel case and aluminium tachymeter-scale bezel. A rounded anti-reflective sapphire crystal opens onto a black dial with contrasting bright-green (or yellow) chronograph hands and 1/100ths scale markings. The two-tone HM hands wear a thin line of white Superluminova over black, with similar elements used on the indices, to enhance yet further a deeply sporty character.The DS-2 Chronograph boldly shows the imprint of its kinship with the world of sport and motorsport in particular. Both sectors have a long-standing alliance with the CERTINA brand name. The watch features well-known CERTINA reliability thanks to the DS Concept. It is also water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m), emphasised by the presence of an embossed turtle emblem on its case-back, a historical CERTINA symbol of water-resistance, robustness and long life. The watch is equipped with a leather strap with green or yellow stitching (according to model) and a folding buckle with twin push-buttons. Other models are also available, including some with a three-row stainless-steel bracelet and twin-push-button butterfly closure.
