It features a box sapphire crystal that looks identical to the original plexiglass crystal. The movement is a Ronda R 150 or equivalent, a sophisticated 25-jewel automatic mechanism with an impressive frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz). This precision-crafted powerhouse boasts a substantial 38-hour power reserve, ensuring enduring performance. It is also equipped with hacking and hand-winding capabilities, exemplifying both efficiency and convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch uses Luminova instead of the Tritium that was used in the 1960s. The main advantage of Luminova is that it does not deteriorate with age and is non-radioactive. In this variant, the paint color mimics the appearance of aged Tritium paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch measures 39mm in diameter and is fitted with a matching steel bracelet, designed to resemble the type of bracelets used in the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDimensions and Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (Excluding Crown):\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (Including Crown):\u003c\/strong\u003e 39.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness (with Crystal):\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200m \/ 660ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 Jewel Ronda R 150 or equivalent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-down locking crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaseback:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sapphire Crystal *\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luminova\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mm Retro Pattern Stainless Steel Bracelet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Sapphire Crystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many people ask about the advantages of sapphire crystal over the original plexiglass. Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength, shatter-resistance, and scratch-resistance. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles—groups that account for over 70% of our customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original plexiglass crystals, made of plastic\/acrylic, used in the 1960s had the drawback of being easily scratched and susceptible to cracking upon impact. Additionally, they greatly limited the water resistance of the watch. Over 90% of cracked crystal incidents involve watches with mineral glass or plexiglass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire's durability under adverse conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSapphire crystals are strong because they are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, which can cause weakness. The crystals are then made into watch faces and coated with two layers of anti-reflective material. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhones. While sapphire crystal comes at a higher price, it is typically found in higher-end watches due to its superior durability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47821373899082,"sku":"XADV1\/BLET","price":544.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/files\/XADV1_BLET-FRONT_46bae242-99f9-4629-8116-ecea552eaeaa.jpg?v=1711551773","url":"https:\/\/mwcwatch.com\/products\/mwc-classic-1950s-1960s-pattern-25-jewel-automatic-adventurer-watch-with-retro-luminous-paint-sapphire-crystal-and-1960s-pattern-bracelet-brand-new-ex-photographic-and-promotion-watch-reduced","provider":"MWC - Military Watch Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
