The special features of the wristwatch
The
Seiko watch comes from the Quarz Classic series, because it has a quartz movement. It is set with 45 Swarovski crystals.
Swarovski is an Austrian manufacturer, especially of cut crystal glass, with global distribution. Today, the brand is known worldwide and appears in the context of many different industries. Whether in watches, cosmetics, perfume, or as a bottle opener. Swarovski not only makes products for end consumers, but also supplies rhinestones and chandelier stones to other manufacturers in the jewelry, fashion, lighting, and interior design industries, as well as glass reflectors for road construction.
The watch dial is protected by a domed
Hardlex crystal. Hardlex glass is a refined or coated mineral glass that is additionally hardened to make it more scratch-resistant. The Japanese watch manufacturer Seiko introduced the name Hardlex crystal to create a good compromise between mineral glass and sapphire crystal. Hardlex glass is basically normal mineral glass, with the chemical production process being the same. However, Hardlex glass undergoes a very special hardening or “refinement.”
Furthermore, the watch’s crown is a blue
cabochon crown. A cabochon is a type of gemstone cut belonging to the smooth-cut category, in which the underside is flat and the top is evenly domed outward. A double cabochon, by contrast, is also cut convex on the underside. Cabochons are among the oldest types of cuts and can also be made with simple means.
