Screw-down crown

IT: CORONA A VITE

Definition

The screw-down crown is a crucial feature for those who, like me, value robustness and reliability in watches. This mechanism, which allows the crown to be screwed into the case, ensures greater water resistance, making it ideal for diving watches. Its introduction revolutionized how we perceive watch security, especially in extreme conditions. The screw-down crown not only protects the internal movement from moisture and dust but also influences strap choices, requiring equally durable materials. For adventure lovers, the screw-down crown is synonymous with reliability and longevity. For straps, I recommend materials like rubber or nylon, which perfectly complement this technical feature.

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
