M+ Factory IWC IW328209 Mark XX Titanium Air Patrol Watch
- The market’s first to use Grade 5 titanium material. Grade 5 titanium is 50% harder than ordinary Grade 2 or Grade 4 titanium. The processing and material costs are also 90% higher. This rare material is scarcely available for large factories in China, leading many competitors to opt for ordinary titanium. Regular titanium, due to its softness and flexibility, creates jagged edges on deep engravings, limiting engraving depth. Its case cannot be finely polished. In contrast, Grade 5 titanium has a hardness equivalent to 914L steel, with a CNC-finished case that boasts a seamlessly natural texture.
- The market’s first to use Swiss Super-LumiNova® C1-grade luminous material. Only with this material can indices achieve the optimal pure white effect. Other luminous materials would result in a white tone tinged with beige, thus failing to achieve the desired appearance.
- The market’s first to offer a complimentary choice of either black or white fluoro-rubber strap, equipped with a quick-release system.
- Unmatched on the market, the iconic 12 o’clock pyramid-shaped triangular marker is more pointed, brighter, and perfectly clean.
