Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?

Many customers ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal compared to standard mineral glass. Synthetic sapphire is one of the strongest materials used for watch crystals, offering exceptional scratch and shatter resistance.

This makes it highly appealing to military personnel, security forces, police officers, and outdoor enthusiasts, who account for over 70% of our customers. From our experience, more than 90% of cracked watch crystals in accidental damage cases involve mineral glass, even when hardened.

What makes sapphire crystal so strong?

After manufacturing, sapphire glass undergoes heat treatment to eliminate internal stresses that could weaken the material. It is then crafted into watch crystals and coated with two layers of anti-reflective treatment for improved visibility.

Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used in the latest iPhone screens due to its extreme durability. While it does increase the cost of a watch, it is a premium feature typically found in high-end timepieces, providing superior longevity and resilience in harsh conditions.
