If you will be traveling, watches are more than just an accessory or something to wear – they help you see the time, help you stay on track for your itinerary and help you make the right impression if you are traveling for business. Two great watch options for travel include Festina watches and Certina watches. Both offer great performance, style, and value for when you are on the road.
Festina watches are one of the most respected and trusted mid-range European watches on the market. They offer Swiss quality without the huge designer nametag. The nice thing about this brand is that they offer a variety of watches and styles. As well, the pedigree of these timepieces is impressive. Established in 1902, Festina became the official Tour de France timekeeper, a role it continues to play today. If one of the most celebrated bicycle races in the world can count on Festina watches to keep the time, you can surely count on them when you travel.
Certina watches are another great choice, especially for the extreme traveler or the recreational traveler. Certina watches boast Double Security (DS) which means that each watch features a minimum water resistance of at least 100 m and features a sapphire crystal. In addition, each watch boasts 316L stainless steel. Certina watches come in three lines; basic classical style, sports lines and an extreme sports line. If you will be taking part in water sports or any sports during your travel time, Certina watches will certainly keep up with you and their high quality will ensure that nothing breaks down while you are on the go. The o-ring gaskets on the stem, two o-ring gaskets in the crown of each watch, and a special gasket on the reinforced case back of each watch ensure that these watches can handle just about anything.
These watches are used in Himalayas expeditions and extreme sports tournaments because of their high resistance to shock, pressure, and altitude. If your vacation will take you to extreme temperatures or extreme conditions, you can rely on these timepieces to make it back with you. These watches are even ideal for most non-competitive water sports and will hold up through a wide array of activities on your trips. For more extreme trips, look to the Certina watches from the extreme sport line – they can take any abuse. Automatic movement and classical, elegant styling ensure that these watches will become your favorite long after you have returned home.
