Certina DS-2 Quartz Stainless Steel C024.410.11.051.20

The DS-2 takes its name from a 1968 Certina that, in the brand's words, established new benchmarks for resistance; the current line dates from 2013. DS means Double Security, the idea Certina developed under Hans and Edwin Kurth in 1959 of suspending the movement inside a reinforced case.

The same steel case and bracelet come with a silver (C024.410.11.031.20), blue (C024.410.11.041.20) or grey (C024.410.11.081.20) dial, and the C024.410.44.081.20 is the grey-dial watch in titanium. The DS-2 Bracelet (C0244101105100), the DS-2 Yellow (C0244101105101) and the DS-2 Red (C0244101605103) also have black dials, at 9.45 mm thick. For a stopwatch, the DS-2 Chronograph moves up to 41 mm and about 12.95 mm thick, adding a tachymeter bezel, as on the grey C024.447.11.081.00.
