A clean 1990s Certina DS quartz watch with a restrained silver dial, applied baton markers and date at 3 o'clock. The softly shaped stainless-steel case has the characteristic practical, understated look of Certina's DS watches from the period.
The caseback identifies the watch as Swiss Made and records sapphire crystal, 100-metre water resistance and shock protection. It also carries the reference 260 0100 41 10 25.
The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement. I have not yet opened the watch, so I prefer not to speculate about the exact caliber. That can be added once the movement has been inspected.
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap.
