- A very beautiful “all-purpose” watch (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- I already had 2 other Certina watches. As I really liked them, for their design and finish, as well as for their excellent value for money, I am looking to acquire a third Certina. I was looking for a case between 40 and 42 mm, not too thick like 10-11 mm with a leather strap but without a folding clasp. Since Christian's site is so well done and pleasant to consult, I quickly found what I was looking for: La Certina DS-1 Big Date! The model with the blue background and the beautiful thick but supple leather strap, clearly made to last. For me the qualities of this watch are: - Superb case in shiny chrome steel, with beautiful rounded shapes - This same case has the measurements I was looking for: Diameter of 41 mm and thickness of 10 mm. Just perfect for most people - Superb deep blue background, slightly gradient and reflections changing depending on the light angle - The sobriety of the indexes, hands and second hand, chrome-plated and very shiny - The superb double window sized for a date very visible - The transparent back of 26 mm in diameter revealing the Powermatic 80 movement, sober but very well finished - And finally the bracelet made of a very beautiful medium brown leather, 2 mm thick, and supple and soft leather black of approximately 1 mm for the inside of the bracelet. As we can see, this watch has a very beautiful, classy design. It's light and seems really sturdy. She will look good with whatever outfit she wears. Overall a real success! And as always with Christian, excellent service and super fast shipping. I'm very happy with it, so much so that I just ordered a fourth watch. Another Certina indeed! But I'm also thinking about moving to a higher class. We quickly get caught up in the collector's game, the watch being an exceptional object, right? (Posted on 02.02.2021)
- Beautiful, light and comfortable, at the right price (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- Certina has long offered beautiful, quality watches that are affordable to everyone. So I once again fell for Christian's site! And after numerous researches carried out with pleasure and interest on this well-made site which gives us the essentials, I fell in love with this "Big Date" watch, which as usual is much more beautiful in real life than in pictures. on the site (it's probably a drawing and not a photo). The finish of this watch and its bracelet is impeccable. The bracelet is particularly beautiful, old-fashioned, without a folding clasp, and seems made to last. The dark blue background is very beautiful and changes depending on the light and its angle. We can't really talk about a gradient but the effects are magnificent. However, in certain light conditions the indexes and hands are difficult to see. But you just need to change the angle of the watch, but this is an unusual game with light backgrounds, or less fine and shiny indexes and hands. Overall, it must still be said that this watch has its effect. It really has a "classy" look and ultimately it's quite versatile. I do not regret this purchase and I can only recommend this DS-1 Big Date Powermatic 80, whose "quality-class-price" ratio is difficult to beat. And as always, very satisfied with Christian and the super fast and free shipping services offered. Conquered, and before moving to a higher range, I have just ordered another Certina! Warning – Addiction! Collecting beautiful watches quickly goes viral! (Posted on 01.02.2021)
- Magnificent and collector's watch (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- The wait did not disappoint me. This watch is even more beautiful than in the photos. I really like the dial, the large date in 6 and the Milanese bracelet. Young, chic and classy watch! The Swiss movement with the 80 hour power reserve is also an important element for me. The caliber with Nivachron too. Beauty and performance are the best! And I treated myself to this limited edition of the 60th anniversary of the DS concept for.... my 60th birthday! (Posted on 27.10.2020)
- Beautiful watch, which is a real eye-catcher despite its minimalist design. (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- The green dial makes the watch stand out from the others. It is elegant, minimalist and feels comfortable on the wrist (both in terms of weight and workmanship). Also praiseworthy is the Milanese strap, which makes it easy to put the watch on and take it off. In my opinion, this watch is not suitable for people with large wrists. It could look a bit too delicate. (Posted on 19.04.2022)
- Elegant dress watch at a very good price (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- Very nice watch with a fantastic dial. Luckily the green is not too dark, so the time is easy to read. I bought it as an elegant dress watch and this watch fulfils that purpose 100% for a very reasonable price. Unfortunately I cannot yet give any information about the accuracy of the movement.

- Excellent watch (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- Certina ds-1 powermatic80 non-magnetic nivachron spiral watch, dual-mass balance wheel movement, free oscillation, 21,600 h. Very beautiful dial, blue with elegant shades depending on the light. Douphine hands which concludes the aesthetics of the watch together with a two-number date window. (Posted on 31.08.2020)
- Watch as described. Very fast delivery. Good customer support. I can recommend it. (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- The watch is exactly as described on the website and was delivered very quickly. What I particularly liked was the customer support. No waiting time on the phone, friendly and competent. The discount was also granted as it says on the website. I am very happy with the product itself. (Posted on 22.09.2024)
- Super service + top product (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- Very good service, friendly, helpful and competent. Many thanks to the team at Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. The Certina Big Date Powermatic is a very high-quality and classy watch. Fits very well (Posted on 21.11.2023)
- Retro 60'S (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- Very beautiful work with a timeless look that I wear every day. This model which marks its 60th anniversary and was born two years after me in the beautiful 60s at the dawn of the 70s... what beautiful nostalgia..... (Posted on 20.11.2024)
- Super (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- A very nice men's watch, I am very happy with the order and my boyfriend also likes the watch a lot. (Posted on 14.06.2020)

Questions about warranty
How long is my warranty?
You will find details of the item's warranty on the relevant product page under additional information. We provide the official international manufacturer's warranty for branded watches and branded jewellery. This is at least 24 months. Individual brands or products sometimes have a significantly longer warranty. CHRISTIAN brand jewellery is guaranteed for 24 months.
What does the warranty cover?
A watch's warranty generally covers manufacturing and material defects, including the movement, hands, dial, crown and sometimes the case. However, it does not cover damage resulting from incorrect use, lack of care (see our maintenance tips), accidents or normal wear and tear (e.g. straps, batteries, etc.).
Questions about the products
Are your watches original?
Yes, all the products we sell are original and 100% new. They are purchased directly from the respective manufacturer.
Is the watch water-resistant?
Information on water resistance is indicated for each watch in the product information. Here you can find the detailed meaning of the various specifications and the water activities you can do with your watch: www.uhrenschmuck24.ch/wasserdichtigkeit
What is the difference in colour between 14-carat and 18-carat gold?
18 carat gold contains 75% pure gold, which gives it an intense, warm yellow colour that radiates elegance. In comparison, 14 carat gold, with 58.5% pure gold, has a slightly lighter, more restrained yellow colour. In white gold, 14 carat appears brighter and more radiant, while 18 carat has a softer, subtle lustre. In rose gold, 14 carat stands out with a more intense shade of pink, while 18 carat is characterised by a softer, more restrained shade of red.
Does the jewellery come with a certificate of authenticity?
All CHRISTIAN diamond jewellery is sent with a certificate of authenticity indicating that our diamonds are natural and extracted from conflict-free sources. CHRISTIAN gold jewellery and silver jewellery do not come with a certificate. The responsibility label (CGZ stamp) on the piece of jewellery is sufficient to indicate that it was produced by CHRISTIAN AG. The gold quality is indicated by the symbol 750 or 585. The silver quality is indicated by the symbol 925.
Are your diamonds and gemstones natural?
