After what seems like years of waiting, the DA36 is finally here! Time Factors is privileged to be the first authorised Damasko dealer in the world to offer this high specification model.

A significant number of the DC36 have been ordered by the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) for issue to test pilots. A  number have also been ordered by individuals employed by EADS as personal purchases.

• Crystal gasket resistant to UV radiation
  
• Solid screw back with O-ring Viton™ gasket

• New patented crown, crown stem is machined with minimal tolerances and leaves almost no gap between crown and case, but nevertheless does not scratch. Crown is also equipped with a permanent lubrication cell which eliminates friction. (Self lubricating crown).

*HRC - The Rockwell Hardness Test presses a steel or diamond hemisphere-conical penetrator against a test specimen and measures the resulting indentation depth as a gauge of the specimen hardness. The harder the material, the higher the HR reading. The special martensitic steel used for the cases of Damasko watches is four times harder than standard 316L stainless steel.

²All metal parts of the bezel are machined to tolerances of 1000^th mm from the patented ice-hardened martensitic steel.   The bezel insert is not a thin alloy sheet but a thick CNC machined part with zero tolerances.   The hardened inlay is polished, deeply engraved and coated with a PVD layer.   This coating cannot be compared with the cosmetic PVD layers found throughout the watch industry, Damasko uses an extra-thick 5-6 micron.   Cosmetic coatings are 0.3-0.8 microns, tool coatings are 2 - 4.5 microns.   The key hardness of the Damasko PVD layer is 3300 HV (Vickers).   Combined with the superbly hard substrate material, this results in a truly scratch-resistant bezel.

The bi-directional bezel mechanism has three large ceramic elements which are supported by three nitrogen hardened, diamond coated springs.   This system works with 100% precision whilst ensuring an ultra-smooth action with a pleasing, positive "click".   The whole bezel assembly is sealed against the ingress of dust, moisture, etc with the patented VitonT gasket which is additionally coated with a wear resistant PTFE layer to ensure a minimal friction coefficient without the necessity for additional lubrication.
