Just wondering... a newbie to watches.
There's an assumption that sapphire is objectively a superior material for watches. While this is true in many applications, it's not absolutely true for all applications. Sapphire crystal is more brittle than mineral glass, so it is harder to machine into the dramatic dome found on the Cocktail Time. The dome on this watch is pretty neat and unique and it can only be achieved with mineral crystal at this price range. It's reminiscent of acrylic/plastic crystals found on many vintage watches. (And it can even be found on some modern, high-end Swiss watches like Omega and Junghans.)
