A sporty temperament of this watch from the Gent Automatic Collection comes with its eye-catching dial. Against silver or black background (depending on a model), the dial face is set with raised and profiled indices and a bold Arabic numeral 12. The hour and minute hands, as well as the indexes, are coated with Superluminova for the best visibility under low light conditions. The influence by the latest motor sport instrumentation is unmistakably seen through the truly superb layout of chronograph counters. The 30-minute subdial is set at the 3 o’clock position, while the 12-hour counter is positioned at the 6 o’clock. Their small hands match the same red color as the main second hand. The 60-second counter is also included. It is nicely set at the 9 o’clock position. The exact date of a month is available at the 6 o’clock position, and it has a quick-set adjustment settled on the right side of the case. Finally, the tachymeter markings are inscribed on a raised sloping edge on the interior of the bezel for clear examination.
Both sides of its case are protected by sapphire crystals, coated with antireflective materials. This watch also has a transparent mineral glass case back that shows a stunning self-winder, inscribed with a Côtes de Genève decoration and blue-tinted screws.
This timekeeper also has the well-known Certina DS (Double Security) protection system, and it is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet).

Strange irony. I bought Festina Road Warrior 4 weeks ago, but
when I saw today this rare example of watch, I regret that I bought Festina. This watch possesses something very special.
Once again, guys from Certina surprise me .
Model with the brown leather looks extraordinary.
Where can I buy it?
Great watch with plenty of features. Model with the brown leather and the white dial is my favorite. I like the chronograph, the movement is excellent and reliable, design is very nice and the price is acceptable.
Anyone who buys this Certina watch will not regret. Trust me.
Please, look at the model C008.427.16.037.00. It is so unique and so beautiful that I think it is the best watch from Certina Gent Automatic collection. The price of $2400 is not that big considering the features and the mechanism of the watch.
Sorry, Enrique, but I don`t agree with you that $2400 is a god price for this watch. There are a lot watches which have the same or maybe better features than this Certina DS Prince. I wear a Casio and it has much better options than this Certina.
You are maybe right about some things, but trust me, you are so wrong about your statement that there are a lot watches better than this Certina. First of all, let us take your Casio for example. There is no way that your Casio is better than this watch. Why?! Because Certina is much better brand which has better mechanism, design and some other features. Besides, Certina is one of the most famous brands in the world.
