Specifications
Antimagnetic watches were originally invented to accurately tell time even in the strong magnetic fields generated inside airplane cockpits. Due to their special structure, they are still expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of yen, even now, more than 70 years after their invention.
It is said that currently, more than 60% of mechanical watch owners have some kind of performance problem due to magnetism, and there has been a demand for a reasonably priced, practical antimagnetic watch that can withstand increasingly diverse electromagnetic field environments.
The Kentex Progauss is the most powerful antimagnetic watch ever available on the market, priced at under 100,000 yen.
The new anti-magnetic material "Permalloy" and soft iron inner case structure achieve a magnetic resistance of 100,000 A/m (approximately 1,200 gauss), exceeding that of the Milgauss (ROLEX) and Ingenieur (IWC).
A mechanical wristwatch, powered by a mainspring, is a precision machine made up of tiny parts and constructed under meticulous calculations.
However, in today's increasingly digital world, mechanical watches often become magnetized, which is a drawback of mechanical watches (and can cause malfunctions), so it is not a good environment for mechanical watches.
This is where anti-magnetic watches come in handy, protecting watches from the magnetic fields of everyday life.
 |
When we think of magnetism, we probably think of digital products like PCs and smartphones, but even furniture doors and bag clasps generate magnetism.
"PROGAUS" underwent a magnetic field exposure test of 100,000A/m at the Japan Electrical Inspection Laboratory. We have confirmed that it actually meets the performance requirements. Protects your precious watch from most magnetic fields encountered in everyday life. |
The case is an impressive 44.8mm in size and is made of surgical-grade (medical standard) SUS316L highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
A retro design that combines a bronze-like distressed IP-finished case with a moss green dial.
The bold Arabic indexes and hands, along with the large crown, are reminiscent of the DNA of the "pilot's watch," the origin of antimagnetic watches, and offer outstanding visibility and operability.
Additionally, the 100,000A/m numerals printed on the dial and the unique serrated second hand, which resembles electromagnetic waves, express its outstanding magnetic resistance.
 |
It has a date calendar at the 3 o'clock position, making it ideal for everyday use and business.
In addition, the hands and indexes are coated with Super-LumiNova to ensure high visibility in the dark. |
The back cover features a design that repels magnetism, with gold markings based on the iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni) components of the ultra-magnetic material "Permalloy."
This model is limited to 188 pieces and has the inscription "LIMITED No.001/188~" on the case back.
It is water resistant to 5 atmospheres , so it can withstand sweat, water droplets when washing your face, rain, and other everyday wear.
The two-tiered bezel features stepped cuts, with the upper tier having a satin finish and the lower tier having a mirror finish.
Although simple, its subtle presence and the luxurious feel found in the details will increase the satisfaction of the wearer.
*The image above is of a different model from the same series.
The brown leather strap is made from 100% vegetable tanned Tochigi leather from Japan, which has a lovely texture.
The more you use it, the more it will become familiar to you and a tasteful luster will appear.
The design, with one side folded over and double stitched, also creates a subtle sense of individuality.
The movement is the highly reliable SEIKO NH35 Japanese automatic movement .
Equipped with a second hand regulation function and manual winding function.
Compatible with "CLUB K," an owner support service operated by Kentex.
By registering the 13-digit product ID on the back cover on a dedicated website, we will provide you with a comprehensive maintenance service.
