Damascus steel is a material famous for more than 11 centuries for its durability and unique wave pattern that was often used to forge sharp sword tips in the ancient Middle East. This inspired Garmin to use this unique material on its super luxury smartwatch model.
The entire watch body and 46mm bezel are engraved with a sophisticated 360-degree compass mark. The metal forging cycle is said by Garmin to be repeated over and over, resulting in a metal block consisting of 80 layers of stacked steel, twisted into individual ridges.
