CERTINA “TÜRLER” AUTOMATIC “BLUE RIBBON” WATCH CA. 1965

This Certina Automatic Blue Ribbon, reference 5801 102, featuring the rare double Türler signature on its dial, is an iconic timepiece from the 1960s. Launched to celebrate the expertise and robustness of the Swiss manufacture, the Blue Ribbon line takes its name from the famous trophy awarded for the fastest transatlantic crossing. The Türler inscription on the dial testifies to exclusive distribution by the renowned Zurich retailer, founded in 1883—a practice comparable to that of prestigious houses like Tiffany & Co. or Gübelin. This gives the timepiece a special appeal today, carefully selected and a testament to its exceptional quality and appeal.

Technically, the reference 5801 102 combines a sleek 34 mm stainless steel case with the formidable Certina 25-651 in-house automatic caliber. Known for its exemplary reliability, comfortable power reserve, and ease of maintenance, this movement with integrated date embodies the golden age of Swiss mechanics. With its sunburst dial featuring applied hour markers and timeless lines, this dress watch blends vintage elegance, a prestigious trading history, and first-rate watchmaking engineering.
