Tungsten derives its name from the Swedish Tung Sten, which translates to heavy stone. The Excelsior Tungsten watch is fashioned from the same material that is used in armor piercing bullets and some rocket cones. It is a durable metal that can resist wear and tear and is long lasting. Years after you receive your watch the Excelsior will still look brand new. A precision quartz movement works silently away under a designer dial adorned with gold plated details. All making it a perfect timeless investment.
