A quick question about STOWA crystal

[testdig]

I checked several stowa models' spec and did not find any info about anti reflective coating, but I found some FLIEGER pictures which look coated.

Does it mean all crystal of STOWA has anti reflective coating?

Anyone help to answer this question?
Many thanks.

If I remember right I don't think any Stowa watches comes with anti-reflective coating.

I thought the opposite, that they were coated on both sides....

I have an Airman Auto no logo and there is no AR coating

Thanks to both of you, but I'm still confusing...

After having read the responses, I think the answer has been narrowed down to either "yes" or "no."

I think there is only one real answer. "Maybe"

[hart-metall]

No, there is no "maybe" - the answer ist just "no".

Which is - in my humble opinion - the best thing they can do, because nothing looks ugglier than a coated sapphire with thousands of small scratches on it. And they do come, believe me - I had many Sinn and Breitling, and at the end I sold them all, because I could not see it anymore.

The Flieger-pictures do look as they do because of the doomed glas (is that the right word? I want to say that it is "not flat"), which is much less reflective than a flat one.

And behind closed doors: most of the real professional pictures for other companies are made without the crystal...

AFAIK Stowa doesn't put any AR on any of their watches. The MO I have for sure doesn't have any.

Thank you hart-metall, I have a 44mm watch with "domed glass" , it is almost perfect for me, the only disappointed thing is too reflective, it might be a trade-off, non-reflective with scratched coating or too reflective.

I knew some watches are coated inside of glass, or double sides. It might solve this problem.
