The new carbon fiber polycarbonate composite

Carbon is now used in many areas of our lives, especially in so-called high-tech fields such as aerospace or motorsport, particularly wherever weight savings combined with unrestricted stability are important.

In recent years, we at KHS have already used fiber-reinforced plastics for the production of watch cases. This already proven case material, used thousands of times, has now been further developed by a new material mix, which we call NEOCARB®.

The new KHS NEOCARB® is six times lighter than stainless steel and even three times lighter than titanium. The further performance of NEOCARB®, such as an enormously high scratch resistance, absolute corrosion resistance, anti-magnetism, cold and heat resistance, and anti-allergenic properties, additionally speak for NEOCARB® as a new high-tech material for upcoming KHS military and tactical watches.

NEOCARB® is currently used in the KHS model series SHOOTER MKII as well as REAPER MKII, in combination with Swiss movements and Swiss Trigalights® (tritium gas light lamps).
