These models recall the first watch equipped with DS concept, which accompanied the first successful ascent of the Dhaulagiri in the Himalayas in 1960. Today vintage elements combine with a Powermatic 80 movement, and a special edition honours its famous predecessor. The "Himalaya Special Edition" honours one of the most significant expeditions of its time: the successful first ascent of the Dhaulagiri in 1960 – accompanied by extremely robust Certina watches. The special model features an engraving of the mountain panorama with the inscription "Dhaulagiri, 8167 m, 1960", which can be admired through the transparent case back. The Powermatic 80 calibre makes a power reserve of up to 80 hours possible! So you can leave this watch for up to three days before having to set it anew – if you can do without it for that long... The extremely thin dial of this watch is lightly domed. In this way it takes up the classic lines of historic models from the 1960s and gives the modern timepieces an elegant retro touch. This special version of the DS-1 recalls the first Certina with the DS Concept, which in 1960 accompanied an international expedition on the first successful ascent of the Dhaulagiri. Numerous details pay homage to its famous predecessor: the classic “Double-C” logo on the crown, for example, or the transparent case back bearing the inscription “Certina 1888 & Dhaulagiri 1960”. No question about it: This watch is ready for any and all adventures.
