Case Material
For exceptional quality and durability, all of our square watches are crafted with stainless steel cases, specifically surgical-grade 316L steel. This premium material is prized in biomedical applications due to its outstanding corrosion resistance, ensuring your watch is not only stylish but built to last.
Legacy and Momentum Collections:
These timepieces are constructed with 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, offering a balance of strength and style.
Nostalgia and Amorous Collections:
These watches also feature 316L stainless steel cases but are further hardened to 800HV, making them approximately four times more scratch-resistant than standard steel, ideal for those who seek both elegance and resilience.
Sapphire Glass
Each of our watches is fitted with a premium, single-domed sapphire crystal, offering exceptional clarity and scratch resistance. As the second hardest natural material after diamond, sapphire ensures your watch face remains pristine and clear over time, even with daily wear.
Additionally, all our square models are enhanced with five layers of anti-reflective (AR) coating, significantly reducing glare and reflections for a crisp, unobstructed view of the dial. This multi-layer AR treatment is a remarkable feature in this price range, typically reserved for higher-end timepieces, allowing for a seamless reading experience in all lighting conditions.
Luminescence
Our collections offer models with and without lume, allowing you to choose the perfect balance between enhanced visibility and sleek design.
Legacy and Momentum Collections:
Both collections are equipped with Swiss C3 Super-LumiNova® on the hands and markers. This premier lume is renowned for its exceptional brightness, durability, and resistance to temperature variations. Often found in high-end Swiss watches.
Nostalgia and Amorous Collections:
The Nostalgia and Amorous collections, designed with a refined, dressy aesthetic, do not feature luminescence. This intentional choice supports the minimalist and cohesive design of these models.
Water-resistance
Our watches are designed with varying levels of water resistance to suit your lifestyle.
Legacy, Nostalgia, and Amorous Collections:
These watches are water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters) and are certified for snorkeling and swimming.
Momentum Collection:
This collection features a higher water resistance of 10 ATM (100 meters), certified for scuba diving down to 30 meters (98 feet).
Each timepiece is built to meet high standards, ensuring durability and reliability in water-based activities.
