Certina Ds Chronograph Automatic C038.462.16.037.00 Review

The "DS Automatic Chronograph" launched in 2021 is based on a watch of the brand in the 1940s, which better presents the true character of the watch, especially the rangefinder with a sense of age has also been retained, which is impressive.

As a brand that was born at the end of the 19th century, Certina has launched many classic works in the development of more than 100 years, which also provides a lot of material for the brand's replica watches. Several replica watches launched by Certina in recent years have received a good response. For example, the replica DS PH200M in 2018 is the most impressive. I vaguely remember that when the watch was first released, it was difficult to find a watch, and there was even a premium in the secondary market, which is very rare for a watch brand like Certina.

The watch has the nickname of "UFO". In fact, there is another product in the bezel that also bears the name of UFO, that is, the clock from Athens, which is widely known for its unique shape. From the sapphire crystal to the dial, the Certina UFO shows a certain curvature, and the shape is very unique. In fact, the original intention of this design is to accommodate a larger volume movement, which has certain characteristics of the times. In addition, the slightly curved dial has the advantage that even if the wearer observes from the side, the information on the edge position can be clearly read, and a larger viewing range is obtained.

In order to match the curved dial, the hands are also bent to a certain arc, which is more in line with the overall style of the watch. However, subject to cost and product positioning, it is not made of blue steel, but only the surface is covered with color. However, in the treatment of the case, the brand still gave a lot of details. We can see that the brushed treatment is used and the chamfered part is polished.

Although the watch is named as a replica, it is not a constant copy of the original, but will still be fine-tuned according to modern aesthetics and usage habits. The most intuitive change is that the diameter of the watch is adjusted from 36 mm of the prototype watch to 42 mm, which is also in line with today's usage of large-diameter watches. In the 1940s, chronographs all used manual winding movements, and the release of the world's first self-winding chronograph movement was also in the late 1960s, so another difference between the replica UFO and the original is the machine The core is replaced by a manual winding movement to an automatic winding movement. The model of the movement is ETA A05.H31 movement, which is improved from the famous ETA 7753 chronograph movement, and on this basis, the silicon balance spring is used to further improve the anti-magnetic ability; The core dynamic storage has also been significantly improved, and the 60-hour dynamic storage is undoubtedly more suitable for today's use needs.
