CVD coating, or Chemical Vapor Deposition, is an advanced technique in watchmaking used to enhance durability and aesthetics. The process involves placing the watch component in a vacuum chamber which removes air and pressure and where gaseous chemicals react at high temperatures. These reactions cause a thin, solid layer of material, often diamond-like carbon (DLC) or other specialized coatings, to bond with the surface at a molecular level.

This precise, controlled application ensures a uniform and ultra-hard finish, significantly improving scratch resistance, and corrosion protection. CVD is also highly versatile, allowing for a variety of finishes, including matte, glossy, and vibrant colors, which remain vivid and consistent over time. As a result, watches treated with CVD coating combine lasting performance with striking, modern aesthetics.
