Congratulations!

We congratulate you on choosing a watch from CERTINA

®

, a Swiss brand among the most highly renowned in the world. Meticulously designed, using only 

the highest quality materials and components, it is protected against impacts, temperature variations, water, dust, and also features the 

DS

 concept.

This user manual applies to CERTINA

®

 quartz watches equipped with the PRECIDRIVE F05.441 movement. For information on setting and using your 

PRECIDRIVE watch, please refer to the instructions below.
To ensure that your watch operates with perfect precision for many years to come, we advise you to pay careful attention to the advice given in this user 
manual.
The 

DS

 (Double Security) concept is characterised by:

–  extreme impact resistance,

–  an ultra-resistant sapphire crystal,

–  a gasket inside the crown and a gasket around the winding stem guaranteeing the water resistance of the watch even when the crown is pulled out,

–  a reinforced case back.

Settings

Models with screw-in crown

To ensure even better water resistance, some models are fitted with a screw-in crown (

6

). Before setting the time or date, you must first unscrew the 

crown (

6

) to position 

IB

, before pulling it out to position 

II

 or 

III

.

Important: After each operation, you must always screw the crown back in, to ensure that your watch remains water-resistant. You are 

advised not to operate the crown (6) underwater.
