The DS-2 was introduced on the market in 1968 as a follow-up to the successful DS line that had been launched in 1959. By that time more than 300,000 of the DS timepieces had already been sold. A distinctive detail of the DS-2 self-winding version is the screw-down case back with the circular wavy relief and the turtle in the centre.
