Certina is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1888, renowned for its reliable and rugged sports watches, particularly thanks to its DS (Double Security) concept, which enhances their shock resistance and water resistance.

Founded in Grenchen by brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth, Certina has established itself as one of the leading names in Swiss sports watchmaking. True to its motto, "Count on me," the brand has built its reputation on three core values: precision, reliability, and robustness. Since 1959, these principles have been embodied in its renowned DS (Double Security) concept, which enhances the watches' resistance to shocks, water, and the rigors of everyday wear. A longstanding symbol of this durability, the turtle has appeared on the brand's timepieces since the 1960s, reflecting their exceptional longevity. Certina also maintains close ties with the worlds of sports and exploration, from high-altitude expeditions and motorsports to scuba diving. As a member of the Swatch Group, the brand continues to develop Swiss Made watches that combine modern technology, outstanding value for money, and proven performance, while reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, notably through the use of recycled materials for selected straps.
