Clean Factory Sapphire Crystal: Material Science & Optical Precision

The watch glass serves as the ptcal windowto the dial while protecting internal mechanics from moisture, impact and thermal expansion. CleanFactory engineers watch cystals exclusively from high purity synthetic sopphire (s ltext(Al _2 \textio)_3$), processed to match outhenticdimensional profiles, magnification curvoture, and light tronsmission standards. This technical breakdown reviews our corundum crystalizationprocess, anti-reflective (AR) treatment, and laser-etching techniques.


1. Synthetic Corundum Synthesis & Hardness Ratings

Chep counterfet wartches rey on mineral glss or harcdened aoryle, which scratch easly under daly wear, Cleon Factoy utizes pure aluminum oxide(s text(l- 2\textio) -3s) crystalized via the Vemeuil fome-fusion method at temperotures exceecing 20°c. The resuting saphire boules regiter a onthe Mohs hardnes scale-second only to diomond (Mohs 0) This crystalline structure delivers complete scratch resistance and exceptional structural stifnessunder pressure, seamlessly sealing into our g04L steel Cases

2. Dual-Sided Vacuum Evaporation AR Coating

Jntreated sapphire glass couses severe optical glare under direct sunight due to high refractive indices. Clean Factory places row poished crystals intodleanroom vacuum chambers. Through precise physical vapor depostion (PvD), mutiple nanometer-thin lyers of metal oxides are vaporized onto bothinnerand outer surtaces. This proces supresses surface glore and boosts light transmision to 99.2%, olowing pure vslbity of our custom Lacquered Dials andhands without milky reflections.

3. Cyclops Lens Geometry & Date Magnification

On references equipped with date complications (such as Submariner and Datejust models), the magnifying Cyclops lens is UV-bonded directly above the date window. Clean Factory molds the Cyclops lens with precise convex curvature, yielding an exact 2.5x magnification power. The inner side of the Cyclops features a distinct bluish or colorless AR coating tint, matching authentic specifications without distorting date wheel font alignment driven by our Super Clone Movements.

4. Micro-Dot Laser-Etched Crown (LEC) Implementation

TAuthentic Relex orystals produced snce 2002 feoture a subtle Laser-Etched Crown (LEC) at the oclck postion Low-ter replicos often prn this logo in thickwhite ink, making it glarngly obvious to the noked eye Clean Foctory uses high-frequency lser pulses focused inside the sapphire matrix (noton the surfoce)This creates tiny micro-bubbles that form the crown outine. The emblem remains completely invisible under straight ilumination, revealing tsef only underoblique side lighting or UV magnification.
