Reference photography not yet on file

Recorded as a named family. Certina's period reference conventions are not reliably documented in public sources and the catalog does not invent numbers. What is established is the DS construction itself, the patent behind it, and the turtle emblem that from the end of 1960 asserts it.

Some specifications for this reference require verification against manufacturer documentation.
