Notes
was launched in 1970. One of two watches in the durable metal collection, the bezel was bombarded with a coating of tungsten, which is a hard, scratch-resistant metal. The movement is ?suspended? in a container within the case between two o-rings, for maximum shock protection. This reference is called the ?Anakin Skywalker? by collectors.
