Cold Forging 316L Stainless Steel

Our watch cases are created from Cold-Forged 316L Stainless Steel, an alloy that is amazingly corrosion resistant. Cold-Forging also makes our cases up to 80 percent harder and reduces impurities.

After the Cold-Forging the case bodies, bezels and case backs are milled, drilled and turned on highly accurate CNC machines. 

They are then polished by hand to either a mirror finish or brushed to a silky-matt finish like shown on the SIF - NART case below.
