MIYOTA is an analog quartz movement, which has many advantages. These include long battery life, precision, reliability,
good thermal behavior as temperature does not affect the rate of oscillation of quartz.
MATERIAL
The Sif Jakobs Watches are made of 316L stainless steel cases and bracelets, meaning they are hypoallergenic.
SAPPHIRE GLASS
Sif Jakobs Watches have sapphire glass which is crystal and not actually a type of glass. It's a pure aluminum oxide that has been through a process of crystal lisation. Watch sapphire is the most expensive type of watch glass as it is incredibly hard and therefore durable. Sapphire is considered the best material to protect the watch dial against shock.
MOVEMENT
We use MIYOTA Japanese movements in all our Sif Jakobs Watches. The movement is widely accepted as the most accurate Japanese movement. It is an analogue quartz movement, which has many advantages. These include long battery life, precision, reliability, good thermal behaviour as the temperature does not affect the rate of oscillation of quartz. MIYOTA has been providing watch movements for leading brands worldwide for nearly 40 years. Every single part used in MIYOTA’s movements is made in Japan. In addition, the parts we use are mostly metal, which assure high precision and durability. MIYOTA’s battery lasts 4-10 years depending on the model.
GOLD PLATING
The gold plating on the Sif Jakobs Watches is IP/Ion plating (0.5MIC TIN + 0.1 MIC AU (1N14)). IP plating on stainless steel produces a more scratch-resistant (harder) surface. The end result is also relatively lightweight, so easy to wear and the coating means watches are five times stronger than standard stainless steel ones.
WATER RESISTANCE
Our Sif Jakobs Watches are either 30 or 50 m. A water-resistance level of 30 meters means the watch can withstand splashes of water.A level of 50 meters means that it can be worn for swimming in shallow depths. CUBIC ZIRCONIA The stones in our Sif Jakobs Watches are high-quality Cubic Zirconia.
SPARE PARTS & BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Replacement of the battery and joints to extend the length of the watch is recommended to be made by a certified dealer. The Gisella watches are normal length, but you can order extension links if you want a longer bracelet.
