Clean Factory Engineering Materials & Metallurgical Index
Precision watchmaking relies on absolute material integrity. Clean Factory enforces rigid raw-material sourcing and high-vacuum metallurgical processing across all sports and classic references. From corrosion-resistant 904L Oystersteel blanks to high-density zirc-oxide ceramic inserts and Swiss Super-LumiNova compounds, every component is manufactured to match genuine physical and optical tolerances. Explore our technical material specifications below.
Core Material Engineering Benchmarks
- Austenitic 904L Superalloy: Engineered with high Nickel (23-28%) and Chromium (19-23%) content to deliver superior resistance against seawater pitting and acidic sweat compared to commercial 316L steel.
- Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) Ceramics: Sintered at over 1,500°C to achieve a 1500 HV Vickers hardness rating. Features platinum PVD numeral dusting that remains completely immune to UV oxidation.
- Synthetic Sapphire Glass: Cut from monocrystalline sapphire boules with a Mohs 9 hardness rating, equipped with anti-reflective (AR) underside coating and laser-etched micro-crowns at 6 o'clock.
- Molecular 18k Gold Wrapping: Deployed via high-vacuum Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) over a Titanium Nitride (TiN) adhesion layer, ensuring deep color stability that tolerates daily wear and cape-cod cloth buffing.
