Certina occupies a distinguished position in the Swiss watchmaking hierarchy — a brand that has quietly delivered exceptional value and technical integrity since its founding in Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1888. At ShopIShop, South Africa’s trusted watch specialist, the Certina unisex collection brings that proud heritage to wearers who demand Swiss precision without compromise.

The cornerstone of every Certina watch is the proprietary Double Security (DS) Concept, introduced in 1959. This engineering philosophy places a polyurethane cushion between the movement and the case, providing outstanding shock absorption and water resistance well beyond standard industry expectations. The result is a timepiece that offers genuine robustness for active lifestyles while retaining the refined finish expected of Swiss manufacture.

Certina unisex watches are powered by precision Swiss movements, including highly regarded ETA and Sellita-based automatic and quartz calibres, depending on the model. Automatic variants feature self-winding rotors, exhibition case backs for movement viewing, and impressive power reserves. Sapphire crystal glass protects the dial across much of the range, providing superior scratch resistance for everyday wear.

The DS Action and DS-1 collections are particularly well suited to unisex styling, offering clean, balanced proportions that translate beautifully across wrist sizes. Stainless steel cases with PVD coating options, integrated bracelets with safety clasps, and luminous hands and indices for low-light legibility complete the package.
