What Is Sapphire Crystal?
Sapphire crystal is a synthetic material used to protect the watch dial. Renowned for its exceptional hardness—second only to diamond—it offers unparalleled resistance to scratches, ensuring the longevity of the watch’s aesthetic appeal.
How Is Sapphire Crystal Manufactured?
Sapphire crystal is created through a process called the Verneuil method, where aluminum oxide is melted and crystallized into large boules. These are then cut, shaped, and polished to fit the watch case. Anti-reflective coatings are often applied to enhance clarity and legibility under different lighting conditions.
Why Is Sapphire Crystal Preferred?
Durability and clarity make sapphire crystal the material of choice for luxury watches. Its ability to withstand daily wear and tear ensures that the watch face remains pristine for years. Additionally, its scratch resistance makes it ideal for sports or dive watches subjected to harsh environments.
