The brand became especially known for its robust sports watches, introducing its “DS” (Double Security) concept in the late 1950s to improve shock and water resistance. Certina watches were used in demanding environments, from mountaineering to underwater exploration. Today, the brand remains respected for producing reliable, well-engineered timepieces with a strong heritage in tool watches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's on Offer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"426\" data-end=\"674\"\u003eA stylish 1970s Certina Mayfair that may be modest in size, but more than makes up for it with charm and character.
