The crown and push-buttons are
knurled for superior grip in harsh
conditions. The bezel is also machined
for confident grip, and only rotates
anticlockwise, so it can only show
a shorter remaining time if it’s
accidentally knocked.
We use a push-in crown with triple
seals rather than a screw-down crown,
because you can’t forget to screw down
a push-in crown.
The movement is located inside the
case by a stainless steel movement
housing surrounded by shock-absorbing
elastomers that minimise the amount of
vibration and shock transmitted to the
movement, so there’s less chance of it
getting damaged.
All our watches exceed the ISO 1413
standard for shock-resistance. This
test simulates the shock a watch
experiences falling 1m onto a hardwood
surface. It doesn’t sound like much, but
your watch sustains a shock of up to
5,000G when it hits that hardwood.
