Certina DS-7 Quartz Titanium

Certina describes the DS-7 as inspired by 1970s design, and this reference is the quartz three-hand version in titanium with a black dial. The case is 39 mm across, 9.72 mm thick and 46 mm from lug to lug, and with its titanium bracelet and titanium buckle the whole watch weighs 76 g. The movement is the F06.412, one of Certina's Precidrive quartz calibres, which the brand rates at plus or minus 10 seconds a year, and when the battery is nearly flat the seconds hand starts jumping in four-second steps. The reinforced caseback and gasket of Certina's DS concept give it 100 m of water resistance, the sapphire crystal is anti-reflective on one side, and the dial carries Super-LumiNova. Certina also makes the DS-7 in titanium as a blue-dial Powermatic 80 automatic and as a quartz chronograph. It lists at CHF 525.
