WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CERAMIC USED IN CHANEL WATCHES? HIGH-TECH CERAMIC
CHANEL has become a master in the use of high-tech ceramic.
Made of zirconium dioxide powder and yttrium, high-tech ceramic has exceptional properties:
- Highly resistant to scratches;
- Stainless;
- Inert to chemical agents;
- Elevated refraction index;
- Unique brilliance enhanced by diamond powder polishing.
From intense black to immaculate white, high-tech ceramic has been transformed into a precious material, thus revolutionizing the rules of watchmaking.
Titanium ceramic
The titanium ceramic formula used by CHANEL required four years of research and development to create it, and is patented and exclusive to the brand.
Titanium ceramic is a new material that is highly scratch resistant and has a hardness close to that of sapphire. Its unique color and sparkle are obtained by adding titanium to ceramic and then polishing it with diamond powder.
