Certina C035.417.11.057.00 Urban

If you are looking for an affordable, Swiss casual watch for every day, then the watch that we are going to review today, you may well like it.

This model can absolutely claim both casual style and classic style. Personally, I do not see any contradictions and I think that this watch will be quite appropriate with both denim shorts and a dress shirt, and with a classic business suit.

The body of the model looks quite large, so I immediately suggest starting with the dimensions. On the welt - 42 mm, from ear to ear - 48 mm, and this should be taken into account, since the ears are really long. Thickness - 12 mm. And the weight is 139 grams, which is very nice for such a size.

The quality of the finish is top notch. Here mirror polishing and I see myself in it as in a mirror. For the price of this watch is beyond praise.

The buttons are very comfortable and tactilely pleasant.

There is a very solid and deep engraving of a turtle on the back cover. Usually, for such a price, the Swiss do nothing of the sort.

But I have some complaints about the bracelet. As with the Big Date, which is twice the price of this watch and which I have already reviewed, there are some geometry issues here.

So, the links that are located near the body are a little bristling and sticking, and even when they are bent, sometimes there is a slight creak. In general, the bracelet is definitely not outstanding, which is basically normal for a Swiss watch in this price segment.

But visually and in terms of processing quality, everything here is on top. I also like the butterfly clasp, which hides the fastening mechanism and creates a visual integrity of the bracelet.

It's time to talk about the characteristics:

On board the watch is quite a popular Swiss movement Eta G10.212. It is reliable, but has one drawback. It cannot be taken apart and repaired. That is, if something is broken, you need to completely change it. On the other hand, its cost is quite affordable, it is not uncommon and breaks down by itself very rarely.

Functionally, this mechanism has a Chronograph (stopwatch) for 30 minutes, 60 seconds and 1/10 second.

There is also a date window at 6 o'clock.

The watch has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. There is anti-glare, which perfectly fulfills at different viewing angles.

Water resistance is at the level of 100 meters, which is just right for a watch of this style. You can swim, but without diving.

The hands and markers and dot markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock are coated with a luminescent material that stores energy and glows in the dark.

The dial is very concise. Nice deep black color. The chronograph's playpens and applied hour markers are clearly marked, giving it volume and high cost. "Swiss Made" embossed at the bottom

On my wrist, 18 cm in girth, even with long lugs, the watch sits perfectly. They look simple but expensive. What else do we need?

As a result, I want to say that this watch is an excellent everyday version of inexpensive Swiss watches for every day. Here is a cool quality of finish, an expensive and laconic dial, the most necessary characteristics and the price today is at the level of UAH 13,200, which is quite acceptable for a Swiss watch of this class.
