Certina named the new official timekeeper for the fis cross-country world cup

It is with deep pride that Certina announces its latest involvement with cross-country skiing: From the start of the upcoming season, Certina will be taking on the role of official timekeeper for the FIS Cross-Country World Cup for a period of four years. The FIS Cross-Country World Cup is held annually. The 2023/2024 season includes competitions in Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Sweden, Canada, and USA. The final will be held in Sweden on 16th/17th March 2024.

Certina has a long history in sports timekeeping. For the Biel-based watch manufacturer, the new partnership is a commitment that is a real affair of the heart for a host of reasons: "Sport is and always has been a major part of Certina's brand image".
