Monocoque

The monocoque case is the hallmark of AGAT watches. Machined from a single piece of metal, it ensures the mechanism remains watertight even at depths of several hundred meters. The history of the Zlatoust monocoque began in the mid-20th century, with a special order from the USSR Navy.

Titanium Damascus

Titanium is often called the metal of the century. Although the element was identified as early as 1789, its industrial production did not begin until 1946. When titanium alloy is forge-welded using the Damascus technique, it becomes a distinctive material for truly unique watches.

Damascus

Damascus steel—renowned for its distinctive flowing pattern—has inspired countless legends throughout history. The earliest references to the material and its production techniques date back to 1300–1500 BCE. Today, Damascus steel is used not only for weapons but also for watches.

Stopwatches

Few measuring instruments can match the reliability of a mechanical stopwatch. For generations, it has remained an indispensable tool for scientists, athletes and military professionals—anyone for whom every second counts.

Meteorites

These travellers from space have long fascinated humanity. They were believed to possess mystical properties and used to make weapons and jewellery. A fragment of cosmic history on your wrist is a reminder of the vastness of the universe.

Mokume-gane

A mokume-gane billet can be compared to a layered pastry: it consists of dozens of metal layers. Only a few hundred people worldwide master this ancient, rare and labor-intensive technique, which originated in Japan.
