·I’ve got a vintage 1960s Certina Sportsman - love how it manages to feel both rugged and refined. It’s got that solid, no-nonsense build you expect from a tool watch, but still wears like a proper dress piece. One of those watches that just quietly gets everything right without trying too hard.

·Back to the Certeighties today, 1981 to be precise 😀
Certina did very much their thing since the early seventies integrating quartz early on in their product line.
Come eighties, the design language and options change with times. Here's a 1981 Newport model. Other than the very obvious nautical design and the roman numerals, two-tone accents, it's 6.9mm thick. The very comfortable bracelet has a small removable plate to have a jeweler replace with own initials or monogram engraved. How cool is that!

·A pretty manually wound DS2 found its way to me. Fitted with perhaps the most sought after flexi strap of the 1960’s, a mesh Tessuflex.

·Who doesn’t love Certina? There are only two kind of people. Those who love Certina and those who don’t know Certina.
Let’s be honest about it, even on this forum: a 1950’s-1960’s Certina is a watch that’s quality wise better than… Ehem Omega. Yes, you read that right.
It really is peculiar to see that vintage watches of brands like Doxa and Oris today fetch a higher price than Certina from the same time period, knowing they were considerable inferior in quality. It’s just the hype built up around modern Doxa and Oris brands spilling over to their old watches.
