METALS EXQUISITE, PRACTICAL AND WEIRD

316L Stainless Steel
316L stainless steel
This special stainless steel is used in the manufacturing of components exposed to harsh and unfriendly elements. Its superior corrosion resistance, coupled with its advantageous hypo-allergenic qualities, make it perfect for the production of Certina watches.
 
Titanium Titanium
Titanium is mainly used in aeronautics and for the manufacture of surgical instruments and is also prized by watchmakers as a versatile metal with excellent properties. It is lightweight but remarkably hard, stable even at extreme temperatures and also offers hypoallergenic qualities. Certina has been using this innovative material for many years and offers a wide range of titanium watches for fans of high-tech timepieces.
 
PVD
On watches with a gold-plated or bicolour finish, Certina uses a special surface treatment called PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition). This environmentally-friendly process creates a hard-wearing, long-lasting coating that is much more resistant than more conventional surface treatments.
