Certina DS Podium Chrono Ladies’ Diamonds Watch

Written by Bojan Pavlovic on September 6, 2011 in Certina Lady Quartz Collection, Certina Watches - 8 Comments

This year’s novelty from Certina surely has an opportunity to become a girl’s best friend. New DS Podium Chrono Diamonds watch for the ladies is extremely feminine and elegant, and as a matter of fact, I might say it is a perfect choice for a woman of the 21st century.

Certina DS Podium Chrono Diamonds Lady WatchCertina’s new ladies’ timepiece is presented in a small rose-gold PVD-coated 316L stainless steel case, with only 34 mm in diameter. Its bezel is also made of rose gold-coated steel and is set with sixty scintillating Top Wesselton diamonds (total diamonds weight: 0.465 karats) that gives this watch the appearance of sparkling flame and luxury style. The round case is coupled with relatively short lugs and it perfectly matches even the thinnest wrists.

The gorgeous brown sunray dial serves as a perfect background for the rose gold PVD hands and matching Arabic numerals and facetted hour markers. Its avant-garde design is represented with a beautiful snakeskin-finish brown leather strap and a gold-plated butterfly clasp.

This highly accurate wristwatch is animated by the Swiss-made ETA 251.471 quartz chronograph movement with a full complement of hours, minutes, small seconds, a date window, and precise chrono timing with three easy-to-read counters.

The 1/10th-second counter is set at the 2 o’clock position, while at the balancing 10 o’clock position, a 30-minute subdial is located. The 60-second counter is positioned at 6 o’clock. This watch from the Certina’s Lady quartz collection is fitted with a sapphire crystal and it has the DS Double Security protection system. Also, letters ‘DS’ are monogrammed on a protected crown, set on the left side of its case at the three o’clock position. Next to the crown, there are two push pieces at two and four o’clock positions respectively. This timepiece, with the referent number C001.217.36.297.10, is water resistant up to a pressure of 100 meters (330 feet).

Here, I must say that ETA 251.471 Caliber incorporated in the DS Podium does not enjoy a spotless reputation (according to some servicemen, it can stop working without an obvious reason).

Certina DS Podium Chrono Diamonds Lady WatchThe DS Podium Chrono is also available with a splendid mother-of-pearl dial, and nickelled hands and indices, mounted on an elegant white leather strap or three-row polished stainless-steel bracelet with a folding safety clasp.

Certina DS Podium Chrono Diamonds Lady WatchPrices vary depending on the version and the range of prices is $2,550- $2,650.

    I own this watch for a while and can say it is equally quality as more expensive watches (Tag Hauer, for example). Beautiful watch and good value for money.indeed.

  2. Rebecca Rios April 24, 2012

    The model with a white leather strap and a white dial looks amazing. It totally fits me and my style. I like these kinds of watches, elegant, with white straps and dial, while the diamonds are just one more thing that I like on this watch. Although I still haven’t bought this watch, I intend to do that in couple of weeks.

  3. Marilyn Adams April 24, 2012

    This models are so refined and modern! I can`t remember when I was near some good and elegant watches, but now I`m with those kind of watches every day thanks to your site. Thank you guys, you make my mood better for every single day.

  4. Anya Smith April 24, 2012

    I don`t like this kind of watches. I like sport and relaxing watches. Casio has some of the best watches in my opinion. I have never had a Certina and if all their watches in the future will be like this one, it`s sure that I will never have Certina watch in my life.

  5. Myra Schwartz May 16, 2012

    I had a Swatch which is very similar to this watch. The only difference between these two watches is that my Swatch had white ceramic plates on the bracelet. That is the only reason why I prefer my previous watch. Nevertheless, I like this watch very much and I will buy it, for sure. I like the model with a steel bracelet and a white dial.

  6. Leticia Klein May 16, 2012

    This is one of the best women’s watches I have ever seen. Although I had a better watch in my past, this one is the most beautiful from all Certina collections. Unfortunately, I don`t have enough money for this pretty watch.

  7. Ann May 16, 2012

    The model with rose gold (C001.217.11.117.10) looks much better than any other model from this collection. I like to wear Certina watches, I had four Certina watches so far, but I have a good feeling about this watch, maybe it will be my fifth Certina watch, who knows.

  8. Mary Howard June 11, 2012

    I am not a fan of rose gold, but in this collection that is not the case. The model – C001.217.11.117.10 has an exotic and lovely brown strap. I like the combination of brown and beige colors on its dial. The dial looks nice and the diamonds give it a special feminine tone.
    This time the designers have done the right thing for Lady Quartz.
