Every visible exterior of the case body is coated in \u003cstrong\u003eDLC black\u003c\/strong\u003e — Diamond-Like Carbon, the hardest coating commonly available on watch cases. Most \"black\" mod cases on the market use PVD, which is a soft coating that scratches and rubs off with daily wear. DLC doesn't. It's roughly \u003cstrong\u003efive times harder than the 316L stainless steel underneath\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it stays that way through years of contact with belt buckles, desk edges, and door frames.
