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.
