And surprisingly, for the best, the central container has been conceived with resistance in mind, being rated to a 200m water-resistance… Reassuring, to say the least. And two-tone options are available for the Urban and Sport cases. So your watch can get a vintage, formal, casual or sporty look in seconds. Last, the Aqua is 43mm and it is fitted with a unidirectional bezel to time dives. The cushion-shaped Heritage is 43.4mm in diameter, the round Urban is 40mm with a lightly fluted bezel, the Sport is 41mm, it is round and its bezel has 6 screws. There are choices for a 3-link steel bracelet or a more vintage mesh “Milanese” bracelet, and several straps can be ordered, either in leather or in #tide material, an eco-friendly option made for recycled marine plastic.įrom a design perspective, there are four different case styles available. Of course, being a concept base on easy interchangeability and customization, Certina comes here with a quick-change system to attach the desired strap or bracelet, with a basic yet efficient mechanism of quick-release spring bars. That’s not all, as there are also multiple straps and bracelets options.
Voila! Altogether, the concept of DS+ is intuitive and easy to use, with a user-oriented conception that feels reliable, secured and perfectly adjusted – as you can see in the video on top, it really is a practical approach, and there is no risk of damaging or scratching parts. Then, simply remove the outer case and bring another one into place, and screw the two crowns again. To secure a new case to the central container housing the dial and movement, you only need to unscrew the two crowns. How? Well, it’s as simple as setting the time. The whole idea lies in a no-tool, DIY concept, with the operation of changing case taking about 30 seconds. This base watch is available in three different editions, with black/silver dial, silver/gold dial and blue/gold dial. The whole concept starts from a round-shaped central container that includes the movement, the dial and hands, and the main crown. It relies on a special gasket made of bio-sourced material and two crowns (Double Crown, which can be seen as a nod to the brand’s historic Double Security DS). The technical concept of interchangeability for the case is the main originality. The secret behind the Certina DS+ concept lies in a three-part construction, with three separate elements that can be mixed and matched – watch head, watch case and strap – with a typical DIY approach. But what if there was a way to entirely transform your watch so it’ll suit your personal preferences or the place you’re heading to? The answer the Certina DS+ Collection. The right watch for the right place… But, importantly, some don’t want to own or simply can’t acquire multiple watches. And not only it’s best when a watch is adapted to the current situation, but it can also say a lot about your personality. An elegant timepiece with a thin profile and delicate case won’t be adequate for weekend activities. A dive watch isn’t the best when going to an important business meeting.
One watch, an infinite number of possibilities… We’ve all been in a situation where a watch wasn’t really appropriate for the environment. This is the new Certina DS+ collection of customizable watches, and we’re taking a closer look at it here, and with a video review. Certina today presents a concept that goes the extra mile, a collection of watches that are entirely customizable, with hundreds of possible personalities, and styles that will adapt to all the situations life offers, without the need for tools, in a matter of seconds, and without breaking the bank. Versatility, adaptability to different environments… But the basics, strap/bracelet apart, were always here to stay. Recently, the trend of watch customization, of watch straps/bracelets that are easily interchangeable, has seen impressive growth and the trend is surely here to stay. Sure, there was always the option of changing the personality of a watch by swapping a strap for another, but that was about it. Back in the old days of the watch industry, things were pretty much set in stone for the entire duration of ownership.
