IP Black Montane Crow Men's Watch by Obaku

The Montane Crow by Strand Denmark features a 48mm stainless steel case with a matte IP black finish, paired with a deep blue dial and full chronograph functionality. The dial includes three precision subdials and a right-angled date display, while white luminous hands enhance visibility in low light. The black stainless link bracelet and mineral glass crystal complete the modern profile. Water resistant to 3 ATM.

Striking and grounded, this chronograph balances technical detail with a dark, commanding tone. The IP black plating lends weight to the design, giving it a clean, stealth-like presence. With its deep color contrast and deliberate layout, it wears like a tool for someone who values both structure and subtle intensity.

The Role of Ion Plating in Watchmaking

Ion plating (IP) is a process that uses advanced technology to bond a hard coating to the surface of the watch. More durable than traditional coatings, IP treatments resist fading and wear while offering a richer, deeper tone. In the Montane Crow, the black IP finish doesn't just change the color—it adds depth and durability that subtly shifts how light interacts with the metal.
