41-hour power reserve
Hacking function for precise time setting
Shatter & scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
Durable & Tactical PVD Coating
The matte black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish is widely used by special forces, anti-terror units, and law enforcement for covert operations. Unlike painted finishes that wear off over time, PVD alters the metal at a molecular level, offering:
