About the Sapphire Crystal
Many customers ask what advantages sapphire has over standard mineral glass. In short — strength and clarity. Synthetic sapphire is vastly superior because it’s both shatter-resistant and highly scratch-resistant, making it ideal for military, law-enforcement, and outdoor use — groups that account for over 70% of our customers.
Even when hardened, mineral glass doesn’t come close to sapphire in terms of durability. In our experience, more than 90% of cracked-crystal incidents involve watches fitted with mineral glass. Sapphire’s strength comes from a heat-treatment process that removes internal stresses before being shaped into crystals. Each MWC sapphire crystal also receives two layers of anti-reflective coating to improve legibility.
Interestingly, the same sapphire material is now used in high-end devices such as the latest iPhones. Of course, sapphire costs more to produce, which is why it’s normally reserved for premium-grade watches — such as this one.
