Unlike traditional painted finishes that can wear off over time, the PVD process chemically bonds the coating to the steel, altering its surface at a molecular level. This results in an exceptionally durable, non-reflective finish that resists wear and tear, even under harsh conditions. However, extreme damage, such as deep gouges or severe abrasion against hard surfaces, may compromise the integrity of the finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are unsure of your model or need assistance confirming compatibility, please contact us.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14238127047,"sku":"BLET\/300\/PVD","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/products\/BLET_300_PVD20mmNonTaperedBracelet-1b.jpg?v=1597048281"},{"product_id":"mwc-300m-stainless-quartz-military-diver-with-tritium-gtls","title":"MWC 300m Stainless Steel Quartz Military Divers Watch with Tritium GTLS and 10 Year Battery Life","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"google_translate_element\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU Code: SUB\/SL\/SS\/BNQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brand-new military diver's watch in stainless steel is one of MWC's current models, featuring a high-performance Ronda 715li movement with an incredible 10-year battery life.

Synthetic sapphire is exceptionally strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. These characteristics are highly valued by over 70% of our customer base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur observations show that over 90% of incidents involving cracked watch crystals occur with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Sapphire crystals undergo a heat treatment process to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating, providing superior clarity and durability. While sapphire crystals are more expensive, they offer unparalleled longevity, resilience, and performance, justifying their use in higher-end watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis MWC diver's watch combines military-grade specifications with modern durability and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Helium molecules are among the smallest, allowing them to penetrate the watch seals even when other gases and water cannot. Saturation divers, who spend long periods at great depths under high pressure, are the primary users of watches with helium escape valves. Helium molecules can build up inside the watch, creating pressure that can damage the watch or blow out the crystal or crown.

This feature addresses the issue of helium molecules entering the watch. Helium molecules are extremely small, allowing them to penetrate the watch seals even when other gases and water cannot. This can occur in saturation diving, where divers spend extended periods at great depths under high pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelium buildup inside the watch can create internal pressure, potentially causing serious damage or even blowing out the crystal or crown when unscrewed. This is particularly dangerous during time checks or resets. The helium escape valve automatically releases these molecules during decompression, ensuring the watch returns to normal sea level pressure without letting any external elements in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportance of Helium in Deep Diving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelium is crucial for deep-sea diving because it does not cause nitrogen narcosis, unlike nitrogen. Helium replaces nitrogen in most deep-sea mixed gas diving applications. Professional divers working at great depths for extended periods often live in dry environments pressurized with an oxygen\/helium mix. Upon surfacing and decompressing, this gas must be safely removed to avoid potentially hazardous situations like the crystal or crown being blown out, which could cause injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality Sellita SW200, 28,800 bph, 26 Jewels, 38-hour power reserve with hacking function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100ATM \/ 3,280ft \/ 1,000m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwdown locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelium Escape Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 15.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unidirectional Non-Reflective with Ceramic Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sapphire with Anti-Reflective Coating*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllumination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super Luminova on markers, hands, and bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet: \u003c\/strong\u003e24mm  stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits of Sapphire Crystal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSynthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its exceptional strength and resistance to shattering and scratching.
