Certina DS-2 red automatic

Splendid red dial

“Double Security” solid vintage watch

Automatic with date

Delivered with a matching red strap, we think this is a good deal for a watch fan entering the vintage world. Dimensions make these models stand out: 38 x 43,6 x 14,5 mm (the manual versions are slimmer in the case). Being an automatic, it has the marvelous full turtle back. There is a dent on the left side of the case and the hour hand is not perfect, but this is still a very attractive watch with a quite spectacular red  dial. The (hard to read) serial number 9433064 dates it to ca 1972. It has not been serviced by us, but runs fine and changes date as it should (always check the date change when looking at a vintage Certina).
