Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?
Many people ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals because it is extremely strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant. These characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, which account for over 70% of our customers.
To put things into perspective, when clients experience accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% of the time it involves watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire in terms of durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are so strong because, after manufacture, they are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, which can cause weakness. They are then made into watch crystals, with two layers of anti-reflective coating applied. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhone. While sapphire crystal comes at a higher price, it is typically only fitted to higher-end watches, and its durability and resilience make it a worthwhile investment.
Choose the MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator Watch for a blend of historical design and modern functionality, making it a perfect addition to any watch collection.
