PVD coating

PVD is the abbreviation for physical vapour deposition and refers to an extremely modern coating method by means of which a material, for instance gold, can be transferred to your choice of steel or titanium workpiece in vapour form. The result is as fine as it is durable: PVD is resistant, corrosion-resistant and very hard.

316L stainless steel

The 316L stainless steel, which Certina uses for cases, bracelets and clasps for instance, is extremely resistant, corrosion-resistant and hygienic. It contains only a very small proportion of nickel, which is not emitted when worn and therefore does not trigger any nickel allergies.

Antireflection treatment on both sides

It is possible to enhance the quality of a sapphire crystal to an even greater extent by providing it with an anti-reflective coating on one or both sides. The Certina brand is becoming increasingly focussed on equipping its timepieces with an extremely high-quality anti-reflective coating on both sides, whereby several layers of this coating on both sides of the crystal ensure that it is possible to see through the timepieces in an optimum manner.

Sapphire crystal

Sapphire watch crystal is made of aluminium oxide powder (Al2O3) heated to over 2000 °C. The resultant sapphire nugget is cut with great precision into fine slices, trimmed and polished. Sapphire is extremely scratch-resistant, shock-resistant and is very transparent. This is why sapphire crystal is an essential element in the DS Concept and is therefore used by Certina in all of its models to protect the dials.

Material

Super-LumiNova

SLN is the acronym for Super-LumiNova®, a phosphorescent luminescent material. The BG W9 type of SLN, used by Certina, emits the stored light in the form of a bluish glow in the dark. SLN poses no risk to health and is used to coat hands, indices and bezels. Its brightness decreases in the dark after some time, but it is automatically recharged when light strikes it.

Features

GMT - 2nd time zone

GMT watches also give wearers the opportunity to display another time zone, which can be set as they wish, in addition to the "main time". This information is usually provided by means of a separate hand on a 24-hour scale, making it possible to read the local time and home time at a glance when you are on the move, for instance.

Automatic

Time-zone mechanism

The time zone mechanism enables modern cosmopolitans to adjust the time on their watch to a new time zone in an instant - without losing even a single second: When the crown is pulled to the first position, the hour hand can be set in one hour increments on models with a time zone mechanism, without interrupting the minutes and seconds.

80-hr power reserve

The power reserve provides you with information about how long a mechanical timepiece can run for without being wound. Most timepieces have a power reserve of around 38 to 42 hours. Certina's innovative Powermatic 80 automatic calibre offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours - almost double as long as comparable models.

Movement type

Powermatic 80 Nivachron™ GMT

The Powermatic 80 automatic movement is powered by the natural motion of the wearer's wrist and offers exceptional precision. It has a power reserve of up to 80 hours. This means that if the watch is fully wound and not worn for three days, the time will not need to be reset.

Materials

Super-LumiNova® (SLN) is a luminescent material with phosphorescent properties. In the dark, the SLN type BG W9 used by Certina emits the light stored as a blue shimmer. SLN does not damage your health in any way and is used in coatings on hands, indices and bezels. It progressively loses its phosphorescence in darkness, but automatically regains it under light.

PVD is the abbreviation for physical vapour deposition and refers to a modern coating method through which a material, for instance gold, can be transferred in a vaporised form, to a steel or titanium substrate. The result is as fine as it is durable. PVD is resistant, corrosion-resistant and very hard.

Features

This model features a function to effortlessly set a second time zone – perfect for those who want to know the time on the other side of the globe. The 24-hour display can be operated independently of the standard minute and hour hand, and can be read easily at a glance.
