This timepiece has nothing to hide. The new Certina DS-8 presents hours, minutes and seconds with sporty elegance and masterful precision in a generous 41.5 mm case. Its slim aluminum bezel helps the time of day make an impressive appearance – enhanced by flawless performance: the independent Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute COSC has confirmed the exceptional accuracy of the modern Precidrive quartz movement.

‍

Urban, noble, absolutely reliable: the new Certina DS-8 is the ideal companion for all the adventures of everyday life. Five different versions form the basis of the multi-facetted product line. Whether in stainless steel with matching metal bracelet, with a black PVD coating and brown leather strap or executed in ultra-light titanium: all versions are a comfortable 41.5 mm in diameter and feature the slim aluminum bezel with high-contrast look.

The Certina DS-8 makes a point of playing with colour – with black, turquoise-green and dark blue dials embellished with silver or rose gold-colored accents. Generous use of Super-LumiNova coating on the hands, numerals and hour markers ensures optimal legibility, in the dark as well. A date window positioned between 4 and 5 o'clock complements the central display of hours, minutes and seconds.

Within the case, a modern Precidrive quartz movement delivers reliable precision. COSC, the independent Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute, confirms the movement's qualities with a dedicated certificate. The mechanism is well equipped for the demands of everyday life: along with the proven DS Concept, a protected crown provides maximum security and water resistance up to 10 bars (100 metres).
