The Certina DS-1 is the brand's classic automatic men's line. The series includes the DS-1 Day and the anniversary DS-1 60th, all water-resistant to 10 atm. As an official Certina dealer we deliver them to your door with the manufacturer's warranty, and if you can't find the DS-1 variant you're looking for in our range, we can order it for you. Strap changes and later servicing are handled by our own watch service.
What kind of watch is the Certina DS-1?
The DS-1 is Certina's more elegant automatic watch with a classic face, but it has inherited the brand's DS ("Double Security") principles: sapphire crystal, reinforced caseback, good sealing. That makes it a dress watch that can also take the knocks of everyday life.
What DS-1 variants are there?
- DS-1 Day – with day and date display, practical for everyday wear.
- DS-1 60th – the anniversary edition, with a slightly sportier-elegant look.
- DS 1 – the base version, with a clean dial.
Who do we recommend the DS-1 to?
To anyone looking for their first automatic Swiss watch who doesn't want a dive watch. Thanks to 10 atm, swimming and showers are no problem, yet it still suits a blazer. Many choose it as a graduation gift too.
If you're looking for a sportier Certina, see the brand's other series on the Certina page, and the full men's selection is among the Certina men's watches.
How to choose a DS-1 online
The DS-1 case falls within the classic men's size range, so it is proportionate on an average wrist. In the product details you'll find the exact diameter and the strap material; our service adjusts a metal bracelet to size, and a leather strap is adjustable with its holes. You can order it with the manufacturer's warranty and home delivery.
Certina DS-1 – questions
What determines the price of the Certina DS-1?
The variant and the strap: the base model is the entry level of the series, the DS-1 Day with its day and date display sits higher, and the 60th anniversary edition is in the upper range thanks to its special finish. Metal-bracelet versions are generally more expensive than leather-strap ones.
Is the Certina DS-1 automatic?
Yes, DS-1 models have an automatic movement. There's no need for battery changes; wearing the watch winds it.
Can you swim with the Certina DS-1?
Yes, DS-1 models are water-resistant to 10 atm, so they are fine for swimming and showers. For diving, though, we recommend the DS Action.
Is there a warranty on the Certina DS-1?
Yes, as an official Certina dealer we deliver it with the manufacturer's warranty. After the warranty period our own watch service carries out maintenance and strap changes.
