Swisstek "tungsten" blends high-TEK tungsten,
which is virtually scratch and corrosion proof,
with
high-grade stainless steel. Tungsten
Carbide is 3
times more rigid than steel and 6
times more rigid
than cast iron or brass.
Tungsten carbide weighs 1.5 times more than
carbon steel and wears up to 100 times longer than
stainless steel. Tungsten carbide is a non-corrosive
material that can only be scratched, cut, or shaped
with a precision diamond. Tungsten carbide's highest
compressive strength is used as a heavy
metal alloy
in armor piercing artillery and tank
shielding for the military. Complimenting
the bezel is a dome
shaped, double curved, sapphire
crystal, which
virtually makes the entire face of this
timepiece
scratch resistant.
Crafted with bright luminous dials for effortless
night-time viewing, the distinctive elegance
of contoured
steel, and the robust qualities of
tungsten, the
Swisstek Tungsten Alarm Chronograph
is a very
special and unique timepiece that blends elegant
sophistication with rugged toughness. This timepiece truly
defines the essence of form and function.
