Chisel builds watches from the materials usually kept for men's jewelry: brushed and polished stainless steel, polished ceramic that holds its color, and alloy cases finished in rose and black ion plating.
Cases and crystals. Cases are stainless steel, with a handful in ceramic and alloy. Every watch in the range uses a mineral crystal, which shrugs off the knocks that scratch an acrylic lens. Case sizes run from the low twenties in millimeters for the smallest ladies' styles up to the mid forties for the sport pieces.
Movements and water resistance. Almost all are quartz, so there is nothing to wind and a battery lasts years. One pocket watch in the range is hand wound. Water resistance is rated and tested at 3, 5 or 10 ATM, and each listing states which.
Styles and bands. The range covers chronographs, rotating-bezel sport watches and luminous dials alongside slim dress pieces. Bands come in leather, stainless steel, silicone rubber and ceramic. Every Chisel watch arrives gift boxed.

Questions about Chisel Watches
Are Chisel watches water resistant?
Yes, and the rating is tested rather than nominal. Chisel watches are rated at 3, 5 or 10 ATM. Three ATM handles splashes and rain, five ATM handles swimming, and ten ATM handles snorkeling. The rating for each watch is listed in its specifications.
What kind of crystal does a Chisel watch use?
Every Chisel watch uses a mineral crystal. Mineral glass is hardened and resists scratching far better than the acrylic used on inexpensive watches, while costing less to replace than sapphire.
Do Chisel watches need winding?
Almost all are quartz and battery operated, so there is nothing to wind. The one exception in this range is a hand-wound pocket watch, which is identified as mechanical in its specifications.
Do Chisel watches come in a gift box?
Yes. Every Chisel watch arrives gift boxed and ready to give or wear.
