A ceramic bezel and case parts, a quartz movement, good value for money: that is the essence of Festina Ceramic. The collection includes men's and women's models, and most of them are rated 10 ATM, suitable for swimming too. As an official Festina dealer we deliver with the manufacturer's warranty, and service matters are handled by our own watch service.
What is ceramic good for on a watch?
Ceramic is a very hard material, so it withstands everyday scratches better than steel, and its colour and shine do not wear off over the years. It is lighter too, and does not irritate the skin. Just one thing to keep in mind: dropped on a hard tile, it is more likely to crack than a metal case.
Men's or women's Festina Ceramic?
- Men's Ceramic: sporty, larger-cased models, mostly black or dark in tone, with chronograph versions among them.
- Women's Ceramic: smaller, lighter pieces that also work as jewellery.
If you are outdoors a lot or work with your hands, a ceramic bezel looks new for a long time – which is why we recommend it first of all as an everyday watch.
How to care for a ceramic watch
A soft, damp cloth is enough; no chemicals are needed. After swimming, rinse the 10 ATM models with tap water. For more collections, see the full range of Festina watches. If you are unsure between ceramic and titanium, write to us: we will help you decide based on weight, scratch resistance and how you wear a watch.
Frequently asked questions about Festina ceramic watches
Is the Festina Ceramic watch scratch resistant?
Yes, the ceramic surface is far more resistant to everyday scratches than steel. A hard knock or a drop, however, can crack it.
What determines the price of a Festina Ceramic?
Mainly the functions: the simple three-hand models are the collection's entry level, while the chronograph versions are the higher band. Men's and women's models are in roughly the same price class.
Can you swim with a Festina Ceramic watch?
Most Festina Ceramic models are water resistant up to 10 ATM, so you can swim with them. Take the 5 ATM pieces off before bathing – we always state the water resistance on the product page.
Is a ceramic watch heavy?
No, ceramic is lighter than steel, so a Ceramic model can be more comfortable on the wrist than a steel watch of similar size.
