Certina DS First Day-Date Watch

Written by Boris Ivkovic on February 19, 2012 in Certina Gent Automatic Collection, Certina Watches - 7 Comments

DS First Day-Date automatic watch brings together impeccable craftsmanship and stunning design. It is a sporty classical timepiece that goes perfectly with almost any wardrobe. Equipped with a screw-down transparent case back, it lets watch aficionados to enjoy its superb automatic movement.

This sporty watch from the Certina Gent Automatic Collection is housed in a round case, crafted from fully-polished 316L stainless steel. Its large and masculine case, measuring 40.33 mm in diameter, with the thickness of 12 mm, incorporates a polished bezel with bright lug accents.

The Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, incorporated in this watch, guarantees high precision and reliability for a long time. The movement provides the full complement of hours, minutes, central seconds, as well as a date function.

Additional Superluminova hour, minute and second hands, and indexes insure clear reading even in deep darkness. Further, its dial also includes a date window which is nicely situated at the 3 o’clock position and perfectly matches the dial color.

Both sides of this watch are protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The DS First Day-Date men’s wristwatch also has a renowned Certina DS (Double Security) protection system that provides a high resistance against shocks and water pressure. Although it is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet), it can be worn while swimming and diving.

Certina offers three models of the DS First Automatic watch. Two of them are attached with a comfortable black or brown leather strap. The first one comes with an elegant silver dial, while the second one has a modern black dial (their referent numbers are C014.407.16.031.00 and C014.407.16.051.00). The third one features a five-row stainless steel bracelet and a black colored dial (the referent number is C014.407.11.051.00).

DS First Day-Date timepiece is a perfect match next to your favorite outfit. Its price is at the range from $650 – $700, and I must say that it is a relatively low price if we have in mind all its features.

    This type of watch is what I need. This watch is simple, good – looking, with a high quality mechanism and it wears the name of a trusted and well known brand. I like it very much.

  2. Edward Hall March 5, 2012

    This new addition to Certina watches looks really great. I always liked the watches with a day and a date on its dial. It is a useful addition for any man. I can bet that there are many people who often forget the day of the week. Is it Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday? I’m sure it often happens to you, too.

  3. Kevin Lewis March 5, 2012

    Edward, I have that problem. To be honest, I have that problem every day. But now with this new Certina DS First Day Date watch, my problems are over. This is really refreshment from Certina guys. Nice job!

  4. Acres Noel March 27, 2012

    It is lovely to finally see a watch with the day and date in Certina. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I have a small collection of Certina watches, and this watch was missing in that collection for years. Now it is here and it is time for me to complete my collection with a new Certina Day Date watch. Thank you, manufacturers, you provided me with a new watch to complete my dream. Thank you once again.

  5. Dprsey Knowles March 27, 2012

    This watch looks nice, but there are a couple of reasons why I will decide to buy a model with a leather strap instead of the model with a steel bracelet. First of all, I like leather straps, secondly, I like simple watches with universal and ordinary design, and thirdly, the model with a leather strap looks much better than the model with a steel bracelet.

  6. Lee Beck March 27, 2012

    I don`t like this watch at all. It is too ordinary and old fashioned, and this kind of watch is simply not my favourite. I`m a sportsman and I need that kind of watch. Day – date on the dial is a good and interesting addition, but the whole design of the watch is bad.

  7. Alexander Zulqarnain September 26, 2012

    The interface is perfect. Anyway I prefer black PVD coating body and steel bracelet.
