“Our motto is to offer a captivating product at an attractive price,” says Certina CEO Marc Aellen. “In a time of inflation and political tension, buying a quality Swiss watch like a Certina is a preferable option for many.” The approachably priced brand whose origins date back to 1888 had a strong 2023, with notable releases including its DS Action Diver Full Black PVD, DS Action 34.5mm and its DS-7 — a new chronograph line based on a model from the 1970s, given a sporty remix.

No doubt, the year ahead promises plenty of exciting new models from the brand – but until they see the light of day, let's take a look at some of the best releases from the past twelve months. And once you've done that, why not take a look at our round-up of the most important timepieces ever made, from the Patek Philippe Calatrava to the Tag Heuer Monaco.
