Scratch-resistant men's watches: So that you can enjoy your watch for a long time
A wristwatch is not only a functional timepiece, but also an expression of personal style. It is therefore all the more important that it retains its flawless appearance even after years of wear. Scratch-resistant watches offer a decisive advantage here. But which materials and technologies make a watch particularly resistant to scratches? And how does the right care contribute to longevity?
Materials for scratch-resistant watch cases
The case of a men's watch is exposed to impacts, friction and external influences on a daily basis. To avoid scratches, manufacturers rely on resistant materials that will retain their appearance for years to come. Stainless steel is one of the most popular options, as it is robust and corrosion-resistant - 316L stainless steel in particular, as used for MIYEN MUNICH watches, offers a high level of resistance.
Scratch-resistant watch glass: mineral glass, acrylic glass or sapphire glass?
In addition to the case material, the watch glass is another decisive factor for scratch resistance. Especially in everyday life, it is constantly exposed to external influences - be it through contact, impacts or fine particles that can leave visible scratches over time. A high-quality and resistant watch glass protects the dial and ensures that the watch still looks flawless even after years of use.
Watch manufacturers use different types of glass, which differ significantly in their scratch resistance. Simple acrylic glass is particularly inexpensive, but is susceptible to scratches and signs of wear. Mineral glass, on the other hand, already offers a higher level of protection as it is made more robust through special hardening processes. Nevertheless, scratches can form over time, which impair the appearance.
The best choice for a scratch-resistant watch glass is sapphire crystal. With a Mohs hardness of 9, it is one of the hardest materials used in the watch industry - only diamonds are more resistant. Sapphire crystal can easily withstand everyday wear and tear and remains free of unsightly scratches even after being worn for a long time, ensuring that the dial is always legible.
How is sapphire crystal made and why is it so resistant?
Sapphire crystal is a synthetically produced crystal that is grown under extreme conditions. Aluminum oxide is melted and formed into a solid, transparent material in a special process. This process ensures exceptional hardness and resistance.
Why is a men's watch with sapphire crystal worthwhile?
The biggest advantage of sapphire crystal is its durability. While other types of glass show signs of wear over time, sapphire crystal remains virtually unchanged. This makes it the ideal choice for a watch that needs to retain its as-new look for years to come. A model with sapphire crystal is the best investment, especially for men who wear their watch every day and do not want to be constantly on the lookout.
