Certina - An underrated Swiss made watch
Got this beautiful submariner inspired diver watch. It’s with me since last 7 year and it is still ticking strong. Comfortable strap with quick diver extension. Don’t see many collector having this brand in their collection.

One of the reasons you do not see them in collections in the USA is due to lack of any retail outlets.
I have thought about them often to add an example but would need to resort to Chrono24. 😉
Here's mine.

Amazing collection!! Thanks for sharing

If they made this in 39mm I would have bought two!

Thanks for the effort mate
I have the newer model. Love it.
Looks clean and sharp
Teddy Baldassarre carries them now.
Cool. I will have to look them up.
I don’t really see the submariner other than the color scheme and the oyster style bracelet. Great looking watch imo
Totally agree, Certina's are vastly underrated - Certina's now get more wrist time than Seiko's for me recently, tool watches with class! ❤️ Seiko's to bits but the Certina DS Multi 8 is close to watch perfection for my needs.
