The most obvious addition to the 20 ATMOS Root Beer Ceramic is of course the new bezel insert. And a very unique color while we are at it. Probably the first brand to introduce a brown ceramic with gold filled indexes.

The ceramic bezel is first cut into shape and than the numbers are carefully engraved by machines made specially for this purpose. Next, the engraved ceramic bezel is super heated to 1500 degrees to harden and purify the ceramic. The engraved numerals on the hardened bezel is than carefully filled with gold gilt. The excess on the surface of the bezel is than polished to a high gloss leaving only the numerals filled permanently. Virtually indestructible and impervious to scratches, the ceramic bezel will last for years to come.

The 200m water resistant stainless steel case measure 40mm case without the crown, has a lug to lug length of 48mm, and a thickness of about 13mm, with a lug width of 20mm.
