single or double AR coating

[kevnick80]

Hi all

Does it really matter if the watch has either double or single AR coating? What's the difference? And what is AR coating? I'm new to this as you can probably guess!!!

Thanks

Have a look in Cheiftang's AR section for good details and pictures on this topic

Single AR - inside the crystal only - limited reduction of reflections (used by Panerai and most Omegas)

Double AR - inside and outside of the crystal - reduces the amount of reflections drastically (used by Breitling)

Double AR makes the dial ALOT clearer
