Great to see Certina bring on these classics. The vintage ones from the 70s is built like a tank, there is no thin metal in these movements, it's thick pieces of metal so they will run forever if you service them.
I had never heard of this model until this video. I usually prefer dive watches, but this watch is gorgeous. Your videos are excellent; the cinematography is magnificent and you put an enormous amount of information into a short amount of time.
Mark mathews When I started reading your comment I thought I was reading what I was thinking. (Crazy) now I have to do some research. I hope it is as tough as they claim because I am hard on everything. I have had 21 surgeries in the past 27 years.

I love the DS-2 model from Certina.I have three old versions :the no date 25-66,the date one 25-651 and the certiday one 25-652(year 68,72 and 75 respect.)And today i notice that new version exist.Thank you very much!!!A very elaborate video,congrats.Greetings from Canary Islands,Spain!
As a watch collector over 20 years, I started with the brand Certina and still love this brand. This model looks stunning! Maybe I buy it. Sadly the silver version are not on mesh bracelet. Black my color, but I have enough black in the collection. Thanks for showing us.
Hiya Andrei. This is *by far* the *best* Certina review I've ever seen in video format. You show a real knowledge of and passion for the brand. And it's as infectious A.F. 😊 Certina are coming a long way with these heritage re-releases. They're so strong in Northern Europe and and (I reckon this says a lot) Switzerland already but Hodinkee becoming the US AD for the brand as gonna see them grow in that and other markets...finally! I've heard Eric Wind mention them as 'a best kept secret in vintage watches' more than once and a heap of watchmakers routinely compare the Certina 25/6XX mov'ts to the famous Omega 5XX mov'ts in quality. So yeah, this DS-2 is an important release. It's the real deal and a true GADA sports watch suitable for...pretty much anything! And it looks great. All the stuff you've already said in your review. The enthusiast community just needs to embrace the brand. That vintage DS-2 is great by the way! I just bought a '64 DS manual with the same 25/611 mov't and flat turtle caseback. It's freshly serviced (+4spd & 292 amp). The silver dial is mint and the baton hands are great and still have the original orange tips. And the case is in really good shape. Those subtle Bombay lugs are *so* cool! I love it. It's a 60 yr old "civilian" version (i.e. manually wound) of a genuine expedition watch (see the Dhaulagiri Expedition) in *Incredible* condition - and it cost next to nothing! Waaay less than $1K! Almost too good to be true! 🤷🏻 I'm going to pick up the DS-2 re-issue next and then probably a vintage Argonaut 280! I'm all in on Certina! Such great watches. Such a great brand. Hey btw, your uploads haven’t been appearing in my feed? I'd been waiting for your take on the DS-2!, and I find out you did it 3 months ago! 😂 Anyway, I'm caught up now. Cheers Andrei.
You are an artis my friend. If I had a Watch making company, for sure I would hire you to do the advertising. I'm loving Certina these days, and partly, thanks to you.
Beautiful watch. A true Brave Beater. I like watches with style but they also must be tough enough to handle everyday life without looking as though they are abused. I'm really digging the blue dial. Thanks for the Certina love.
Ah yes you did a nice introduction with the history part, well done! I'm sitting at home right now waiting for the retailer store to open, I got notification that I can pick up my order: the blue dial DS-2. I have to say I'm rarely this exited for a new watch but this is a bit a dream come true. I hoped for years they would re-issue this model. Great review. great warch!
haha nice! This is not just a watch, but a milestone in the certina history! I was equally excited about this reissue! :) Hope you enjoy it! If you have instagram, share some shots with me so I can share them with Certina :)
Thanks for highliting these watches. It's not a brand I'd paid any attention to until you featured them on your channel...and they make some really beautiful watches.
Although it looks great under macro I'd also have preferred a no-date version and I like the 68's caseback better. All in all it really is an attractive watch. Great review, I appreciate showing both versions for comparison.
Certina would use the “flat” caseback with the Turtle (like the '68 DS-2) for manually wound pieces and the fuller "embossed" caseback with the Turtle (like the DS PH200-M re-issue) on its automatic watches. Shame they broke that tradition with the DS-2 re-issue. I get why the date is there; it's going to be a daily for most non-watch guys and a date is good on a daily. Vintage DS-2's did come with a date or even day-date as well as no date. But I'm with you guys: no date is better. Better still? There's a relatively rare vintage dial with arabics at the 4 cardinal points. I'd like to see them re-issue that for us enthusiasts.
That's really nice and very retro. It was introduced the year I was born so there's added appeal. I was quite surprised by its lume performance, it looks excellent. Another great presentation, well done.
Fantastic 👌👌👌.. Why even thinking of buying any other brands, movement 👍🏻, wr top 👍🏻, wearability 👍🏻, quality 👍🏻, heritage 👍🏻, price 👍🏻👍🏻.. instead of buying some expensive brand that couldnt even take some Rain..Certina ⭐️⭐️⭐️.. and review 🙌.. Thanks
Love Certina and glad they decided to bring this model back! I’m not sure I’m a fan of the oversized logo and powermatic 80 text at 6. Otherwise very faithful re-creation!
Great video as usual! So happy to have found your channel as you have a very relaxed yet informative approach, and great videography. Keep it up! Oh and the watch looks great and could well be on my list! Cheers!
I have the super ph500 and I love the nato strap but wished it had a two piece. Now they make one! 😃 This watch is really nice. I love the cushion case.
Certina is almost unheard of in the U.S. Thanks for highlighting the brand and this model in particular. I’ve tried the link to the vintage Certina’s but it’s no longer active. I’d really like to find a vintage Certina made in my birth year (1962).
Great review, thanks! Your channel is one of my favorites. I've watched this particular video a few times now. The Certina website states that the black dial version on mesh bracelet has a lacquered dial, which would be my choice. The other models (including the matte black version on strap) do not feature it. It must be a pricier way to manufacture a dial... I love also that Certina didn't go "on the cheap" and gave the exhibition caseback a Sapphire Crystal, as well. Many other brands would have used a mineral crystal display back to cut costs. Plus, it has 200m water resistance and a screwdown crown... What an absolute home run for Certina and a worthy successor to carry the mantle of the original one. I can't think of a better value for an all around, do anything, EDC watch. (I would definitely purchase this before I would buy a Seiko Alpinist). I'll bet this would be really sharp on a Bond Nato strap!
Great video (as usual) !!! The watch looks awsome and the specs are great !!! Bored of so many divers in my collection I seriously think to go for one... thanks
I finally finished restoring my 1968 DS-2 and I can't stop wearing it. The size is just perfect. I only wish it had 20mm lugs. Can't decide what bracelet to put it on though.
my favourite brand. outstanding value for money. I have 3 of their vintage watches. I've been waiting for them to release a less feminine version of their 39mm ph200m
Love it. Not owned a Certina yet, but this could well be my first. Big fan of Milanese bracelets too, I tend to end up putting them on everything 🤣 Cool watch, thanks for showing us. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
I really like your Certina videos and how you speak about this brand. I am about to go for new Certina, but I love 3 models. Can afford just 1. All of them totally different “sport”. Orange 500M, 43 diver titanium, DS Action Day/Date blue dial 🤷🏻🤦🏻 I just cant decide. Love them all. I have vintage Certina dress watch after my father, they are broken but I keep them
I need to confess: I am not so much attracted by this brand … BUT!!! This model really made me reconsider my opinion! Lovely proportions. Amazing heritage. Nice looking. And I do think this brand and particularly this model really suits you! ;) can’t wait to see it again in person ;)
I must confess, that I had to hear your great review twice, because after some minutes I got lost and was only concentrated to follow the smooth background music ..... it is like sitting at the Bar in a Hotel listening to a good friend who bought himself a nice watch, and praising his nice watch ... Certina DS2 - whenever I will see this watch in a shopping window, this sound will start.. //// Change to the reality: I am a big fan of Certina Divers, therefore I miss the "must-have" signal of this nice reissue. Its another world, I know - sorry :-) so: will you tell me the name of the Bar Music Theme?? :-)
I would like a model of this Certina watch for everyone. One no date version, one date version, one day-date version and, wait for it!, one hand wind version. God bless you all!
Great watch and an amazing review as always Andrei:) What I dislike about the watch: the phrase Powermatic 80 must be removed:) and also the Certina name is oversized, I’d make it smaller. The rest is perfect. I would also like to get more color options: for example two-tone Ds-2
the watch is very nice... to bad they did not add a splash of red on that second dial.... it would have made a big difference. Longines added the minutes dial in red on the new ultra-chron - it looks outstanding...
i just found a certina ds-2 in my fathers attic after my grandfather, probably from the 70s or 60s, blue bullseye dial (no date) ,wound it, ticks like its new, no service or nothing
Does the new model have all the shock resistant features of the original? I also wished it came with an oyster bracelet and wasn't display caseback - I like a closed caseback on a robust watch. Apart from that it could be the perfect watch.
In the dark, if you have no difference between lum at 12 and others, you often have an erroneous reading of the time. That's why I bought an Alpinist SPB243, clearer at night.
Been hoping for a certina that would really pique my fancy. This is it. Love the retro styling, size and robustness. Maybe I missed it, but did you mention how much?

It's a great watch for sure, but a "field watch"?? Cue debate, but I suggest the dial treatment puts this more on the sports/dress spectrum than the field/military. As you say, it's an ideal daily beater.
Hello again, do you believe the DS-2 with the double security system could be worn while drumming? I've been looking at mecaquartz watches as an alternative to automatics but love the DS-2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
nice video! thank you very much for bringing some attention to this under rated brand when we are flooded with content on rolex, omega etc. One question, the black dial of this watch seems rich and deep in colour so it appeared to me lacquered instead of matte?
This video was a bit confusing. Does the NEW DS2 have the shock absorbtion ring like to original? Also do you know if the crown TUBE itself is replaceable? Thanks.
What a beautiful watch! Thanks for supporting Certina!
:D
Great to see Certina bring on these classics. The vintage ones from the 70s is built like a tank, there is no thin metal in these movements, it's thick pieces of metal so they will run forever if you service them.
Exactly! :)

Was looking at Certina. Saw you video and just bought one. Great video, so informative. Thank you
Another win for Certina
Agree!
The watch looks excellent and posh, easy and wearable. I just love its metal-strap !

For the money they are great watches beautifully made...
I like it, thanks for review. It would be great if they also will offer dateless version.
Hopefully they will in the future, yup or maybe launch some fresh colors (see rolex / omega)
Nice watch, retro look, very classy on the Milanese mesh band but goes equally well with the other strap options.
Beautiful piece thanks for the review.
I'm really going through a certina phase.....need one in my collection!
thank you bringing this review of this wonderful watch
great introduction!
This looks amazing to be honest, as mentioned before dial would be 10x better without Powermatic 80 text.
Awesome watches! It demonstrates a new way of Certina.
I see also influence of the past traditions (70s?)
It would be great if they keep the old size and/or add a different colours seconds hand , great review pal👍
This makes an argument for a one watch collection with the look, versatility and 200M WR. You know, if you could do it, I couldn't have one watch 😆
ahahahah! It is a cool watch, great to own in a collection
Insanely beautiful . . .
I Love this one, it is stunning.
Love it , it’s a classic
WOW fabulous piece is the strap interchangeable with the ds+ if so its a bargain amazing review as always
My favorite brand,only one correction, it's Certina(Chertina).
nice piece

Its another world, I know - sorry :-) so: will you tell me the name of the Bar Music Theme?? :-)
haha, thanks, Indeed this song offers an intimate, warm context. the name of the song is: Miika's Journey - Lama House
I would like a model of this Certina watch for everyone. One no date version, one date version, one day-date version and, wait for it!, one hand wind version. God bless you all!
Great watch and an amazing review as always Andrei:)
What I dislike about the watch: the phrase Powermatic 80 must be removed:)
and also the Certina name is oversized, I’d make it smaller. The rest is perfect. I would also like to get more color options: for example two-tone Ds-2
the watch is very nice... to bad they did not add a splash of red on that second dial.... it would have made a big difference. Longines added the minutes dial in red on the new ultra-chron - it looks outstanding...
Salut! Indeed, however they did a red dial version :D and something cool is coming up very soon :D
i just found a certina ds-2 in my fathers attic after my grandfather, probably from the 70s or 60s, blue bullseye dial (no date) ,wound it, ticks like its new, no service or nothing
Does the new model have all the shock resistant features of the original? I also wished it came with an oyster bracelet and wasn't display caseback - I like a closed caseback on a robust watch. Apart from that it could be the perfect watch.
It’s beautiful and I want one
Love this watch
Truly amazing ⚫
J'adore 💕
In the dark, if you have no difference between lum at 12 and others, you often have an erroneous reading of the time. That's why I bought an Alpinist SPB243, clearer at night.
Must have one.
I got the Super PH1000m reissue
Been hoping for a certina that would really pique my fancy. This is it. Love the retro styling, size and robustness. Maybe I missed it, but did you mention how much?
I really like this model but i think that it would look better if they scaled down the font of the certina wording
for some reason, I always forget to add the prices in the watches briefs. This is around: $960 according to my math :D
Very nice watch and a good review, just afraid it might look a bit small for my wrist, need to try it!
Thank you! well, it depends on the wrist size, indeed
Personally I believe certina watches being so well made many other brands around several times more expensive are just over priced. I own the quartz ds trust square model though I must say the ds 2 is really nice.
I agree!
Maybe a review of the DS ACTION quartz (not diver)? That is beater territory! I like this ds 2 too
Honestly, I would love to try / own / review one. I will see what I can do :)
Really nice but for occasional wearing watch i stick with my Vostok 710 ministry case for way less $,nice presentation though😊😊
Thank you :) that vostok has a cool case, yes
Beautiful watch! Thanks for this complete and very pleasant review. What is the song that you used for the background music?
Ceasul e mega. De obicei port rectangular, însă nu am putut sa mă abțin.
nice, wise there was a no date version too
stunning
I will never understand how they could outfit such an icon of robutness with a seethrough case back...
Thx for the excellent persentation.
It's a great watch for sure, but a "field watch"?? Cue debate, but I suggest the dial treatment puts this more on the sports/dress spectrum than the field/military. As you say, it's an ideal daily beater.
Hello again, do you believe the DS-2 with the double security system could be worn while drumming? I've been looking at mecaquartz watches as an alternative to automatics but love the DS-2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
nice video! thank you very much for bringing some attention to this under rated brand when we are flooded with content on rolex, omega etc. One question, the black dial of this watch seems rich and deep in colour so it appeared to me lacquered instead of matte?
These are amazing but I don’t see that they’re on sale anywhere’s on the Internet
luv it 🤌
Like Certina, own several, but there is nothing more robust as a field watch than a Casio.
Agree :)
You're comparing cod roe to caviar.
Does your review also apply to the female version of this model?
The DS-2 somehow manages to combine elegance and toughness but how does it wear on a 6.5 inch wrist?
The lug to lug is 38 or 46? In the video you say 46 but in their website they say 38. Am I missing something?
does it have a screw crown? do you think this is safe for entry-level diver experiences?
Beauty. But the “powermatic 80” in cursive script ruins the dial. I like the vintage one better also for this.
This video was a bit confusing. Does the NEW DS2 have the shock absorbtion ring like to original? Also do you know if the crown TUBE itself is replaceable? Thanks.
Hi, the new system is different but has as well, the gasket that holds the case to the movement.
so coooool
Is their any Quartz Alternative with saphirglas ? I know only the cwc t20 gs, but they have only acrylic Glas
Any information about the accuracy of the movement?
