The DLC coating gives the piece some extra protection against scratching and other damage by applying some of the characteristics of diamond strength. The Diamond-like coating isn’t completely uncommon in watches but I haven’t seen it applied quite as wonderfully, as has been done with the Reef Master, in many other timepieces. This piece is made for rigorous use and I am sure it will stand up to most tests. This is the first time I’ve had my hands on a Phoibos and I was pleased with its quality feel and the smart design. The Phoibos name stems from Greek mythology as the other name for Apollo, the god of light, which gives the piece a bit of shine. The primary desirable qualities are hardness, wear resistance, and slickness.Phoibos is a young, zesty brand which always gets me excited because you can usually expect something that strays from ordinary and that is what we have with the Reef Master PY015B. DLC is usually applied as coatings to other materials that could benefit from some of those properties.the value of such coatings accrues from their abilities to provide some of the properties of diamond to surfaces of almost any material.
*Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. Lume: 15 layers Super-LumiNova BGW9 is applied to the hands, indices, and bezel markings. Water resistance is good to 300 meters which is suitable for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. The watch is powered by a Seiko SII NH35A automatic movement.
