Benefits of Sapphire Crystal
Many customers inquire about the advantages of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is exceptionally strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. These characteristics are highly valued by over 70% of our customer base.
Our observations show that over 90% of incidents involving cracked watch crystals occur with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Sapphire crystals undergo a heat treatment process to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating, providing superior clarity and durability. While sapphire crystals are more expensive, they offer unparalleled longevity, resilience, and performance, justifying their use in higher-end watches.
This MWC diver's watch combines military-grade specifications with modern durability and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Its robust features, coupled with the option to customize the strap, ensure it meets the diverse needs of its users.
