For sale is a vintage Swiss Made Certina DS-4 men's watch with reference 919.1430.41, presumably dating back to the late 1970s based on its movement. The watch measures 37mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness, making it fairly large for its era. It features a stunning dark bronze vertically brushed dial with raised indices and luminous polished steel hands. A date window can be found at 3 o'clock, which can be quickly adjusted using the original signed crown.
Power comes from the automatic Certina calibre 919-1, generally regarded as the last in-house Certina self-winding movement and the successor to the legendary 25-65 calibre. The watch was lovingly restored with an eye for authenticity and has received a full service prior to being listed for sale. The movement was completely stripped down, cleaned and lubricated, and is currently working perfectly.
The watch has been worn throughout its life but remains in good overall condition considering its age. The case shows minor signs of wear but no excessive damage: it was thoroughly cleaned but deliberately left unpolished to preserve its original finish and sharp edges. The dial and hands remain in very good condition with only a few minor marks and uniform signs of age. The original signed Certina crown is blemished and sits slightly crooked, but remains fully functional. As it is original to the watch, we decided to retain it. The crystal is brand new and free from scratches. Please study the photographs carefully, as they accurately represent the condition of the watch without digital enhancements. We are sure that you appreciate honesty, and so do we.
The watch is fitted with a brand new Hirsch "Aristocrat" black leather strap with the original Certina buckle and quick-release spring bars. The original brown Certina "DS" leather strap is also included, although it shows significant wear. Sold as watch only; unfortunately, no original box or paperwork are included.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care and shipped as quickly as possible. We usually dispatch orders on the same day payment is received and provide full insurance coverage together with tracking information for every shipment. If you have any questions regarding the watch or our services, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will gladly assist as soon as possible!
