Certina DS-2 Spider Dial [Sold]

Reference
The Certina DS-2 is in my opinion one the most underestimated vintage watches. The DS (= Double Security) shock absorption technology (developed in-house by Certina) was one of a kind and revolutionary at the time. The Certina caliber 22-661 is a very reliable movement, which I personally love for its very good design & finishing.
The blue dial lacquer has crackled over time, this is called a spider dial and is caused by the different lacquer layers aging differently and therefore cracking. This effect is called a spider dial. I’ve seen quite some of these blue Certina DS over the years and they all have this effect, regardless of the condition of the rest of the watch. These dials were manufactured by Singer and also other brands used Singer dials (like Rolex) have these spider dials.
