Certina DS-8 Gent 40mm Titanium

C045.410.44.041.00

The DS-8 Gent is the model Certina pitches at the office and at formal occasions, and this blue-dial reference is the titanium version, with a titanium bracelet and buckle to match. At 40 mm across and 8.35 mm thick it is a slim watch, 47.19 mm from lug to lug, and Certina gives the weight as 80 g. The movement is the ETA F05.412 quartz with a date window and an end-of-life indicator that warns when the battery is running down. The case follows Certina's DS concept, with a reinforced caseback and a dedicated caseback gasket, and is rated to 100 m, under a sapphire crystal treated against reflections on one side. Certina also makes a 31 mm DS-8 Lady in titanium. The Gent lists at CHF 525.
