I saw this watch and it was claimed to be Certina chronograph so I tried to search the same watch but I could not find any similar.

I tried to search for Chronograph movements that Certina used, Certina used approved movements like the Venus movements, the Valjoux 23 and 72 (in its different generations), and later the Valjoux 7750. These movements were partly revised and labelled with Certina’s own movement markings. Two specialities are the 29-064 which was based on the Valjoux 728. It is a later and little-known version of the Valjoux 72 family with central chrono minute indicator as popularized by the Lemania 5100. The other speciality is the Certina 749. This one is based on the tuning-fork movement, the ESA 9210 "Mosaba", which is derived from the ESA 9162/4. For the 9210.​

I am newly to this so I am no expert, but I believe you are correct, however I checked the brands that used such movement like Baume & Mercier, Edox, Favre-Leuba, Glycine, Helvetia, Nivada, Titus, and Zodiac, but no Certina so I am not sure if ever Certina had that type of movement

I was reading an article today about Certina watch history and the different sorts of movements they employed, but then I came across this one and became puzzled 😂

Thank you, Mark, for confirming this. As far as my little knowledge and research go, Certina did not use that type of movement, and I could not find anything similar to it. What are your thoughts on this watch?
