Certina

Certina was founded in 1888 by a pair of brothers. While Certina produced countless watches through the 19th and 20th centuries, the brand’s most well-known and collectible vintage models are the dive watches produced in the 1960s and ’70s. In 2021, Certina re-entered the U.S. market for the first time in decades, and the HODINKEE Shop was named the brand’s exclusive Authorized Retailer.
