Certina - DS Manual 5301 013 - 1960

Elegant and robust, this Certina DS (Double Security) from the early 1960s embodies the spirit of innovation for which the brand is renowned. Thanks to its reinforced case and shock protection system, the DS line was designed to rival the Omega Seamaster and Rolex Oyster — offering exceptional reliability in a simple and refined design.

This example is superbly preserved, featuring a magnificent champagne dial, dauphine hands, applied hour markers, and a polished steel case with crisp edges. The watch was serviced in 2024 and runs perfectly, with a stable amplitude of 255° and an accuracy of +7 seconds per day.
It is mounted on a quality leather strap and comes with an authentic vintage Certina box, a much-appreciated addition for collectors.
