All
Arctos watches have a thick sapphire crystal
including the watches with convex crystal.
Sapphire Crystal is scratch resistant
with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale
of 1 to 10. Only a diamond (hardness of
10) is capable of damaging the synthetically
manufactured sapphire crystal. In addition
all crystals undergo a special anti-reflection
treatment, so that the dials and hands
are always clearly legible.
Arctos
watches have a sturdy screw in crown. Once
the crown is released, the watch can be
wound and the time and date adjusted. The
screw in crown mechanism protects the watch
from moisture and dust, and enhances its
shock resistance. Thanks to its screw-in
crown, the Arctos can withstand pressures
up to 20 bars and surpasses the waterproofing
requirements of the German Institute for
standardization (Din norm 8310).
Arctos
cases (excluding GPW Ceramic) are machined from a solid block of
steel. The material is anti-magnetic 316
L. stainless steel, which is an alloy that
is widely used in surgical instruments and
the space industries. The raw block undergoes
numerous processing steps from which it
emerges as a robust case, precision manufactured
to within a hundredth of a millimeter, which
protects the movement from moisture, dust
and impact.
Arctos uses the finest Swiss
self winding movements with the appropriate
modifications according to the model range.
Arm and hand movements are transmitted to
the rotor which automatically winds the
watch. There is no need for a battery. The
movements used in the Arctos have a frequency
of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The high-frequency
and the additional adjustments we carry
out are responsible for the excellent accuracy
of Arctos watches.
