What to know

Certina’s DS-X GMT collection combines two forms of orientation in one sports-watch design. A fixed or two-tone 24-hour scale works with a central GMT hand to display a second time zone, while the rotating outer bezel carries compass markings. The stainless-steel case measures approximately 41mm across and 12.15mm thick, with sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown and 200 metres of water resistance.

The collection is powered by the ETA F06.865 PreciDrive quartz GMT calibre, which includes end-of-life indication, HeavyDrive and Extreme Shock Resistance. Five colour and strap combinations were announced on 1 July 2025, ranging from restrained grey to brighter turquoise and orange accents. The DS-X is intended as a durable, low-maintenance travel watch rather than a mechanical GMT.
