Sapphire crystal watches for men - The best choice?

What is a Sapphire Crystal Watch

In the world of tough men's watches, sapphire glass is simply at the top. This material is not only scratch-resistant, but also very beautiful and reliable. So if you are looking for a watch, make sure that sapphire glass has been used. Then you know that the watch is durable. Unfortunately, this type of glass also has a price tag. You will not get watches with sapphire glass for less than 700 euros. Are you going to buy a watch? Then it is nice to know which glass has been used. The specifications ALWAYS indicate which glass has been used so that you know what you are buying.

What is a Mineral Glass Watch

Mineral glass is a type of glass that is widely used in watches to protect the display or dial. It is specially hardened to be more resistant to scratches and shocks. HQ mineral glass is more resistant to scratches than regular glass. Due to the hardening, mineral glass is also fairly shock resistant, meaning that it can withstand breaking or cracking from light impact. Mineral glass is cheaper to produce than sapphire glass, which makes it somewhat affordable for luxury watches to offer. The glass is clear so that you can continue to enjoy your beautiful dial for a long time.

What is a Plastic Glass Watch

We do not use plastic glass. This glass is really only used for cheaper watches. Plastic glass actually only has disadvantages. It scratches quickly. After a while you simply do not see your dial anymore... and you do not want that. The only advantage is that it does not break easily...
