Certina and Marta Ortega serve up DS-7 Chrono Padel Edition

Designed in collaboration with the Spanish padel sensation, this elegant and stylish new watch is powered by a Swiss-made chronograph movement with Precidrive technology. The black dial presents precise sports timing results in a clear, easy-to-read format.

T

he new DS-7 Chrono Padel Edition by Marta Ortega celebrates her achievements and the vibrant spirit of this fast-paced, popular and exciting sport. The black PVD coated stainless steel case frames a dial made from carbon fibre – the same material used in Marta’s padel racquet. The padel connection is further highlighted by a subtle detail on the dial: a small padel tennis ball at 6 o’clock.

Certina CEO Marc Aellen commented, “We’re big fans of Marta and padel, and it’s both a privilege and a pleasure to work with her. I’m really happy with the result of our collaboration. The new DS-7 Chrono Padel Edition by Marta Ortega pays homage to La Doctora’s drive, determination and extraordinary success. With her outgoing and dynamic personality, she’s a fantastic ambassador for Certina – and for padel.”

Marta herself had this to say: “I’m delighted to see the DS-7 Chrono Padel Edition with my name on it. I had a lot of fun working with the creative team at Certina. They’re so supportive and they care so much about excellence, I can’t think of a better partner. I’ll wear my new Certina with great pride.”

Certina has been an enthusiastic supporter of padel since 2021, and Marta Ortega is a brand ambassador since 2023. The 27-year-old Spanish star is one of the most exciting players in the game today. Currently ranked number 6, she is determined to take back the World Number 1 spot she first captured in 2019.
