What Types of Watches Benefit Most from TPU Film Protection?
Luxury watches are more than just tools to tell time—they’re wearable art, status symbols, and often, investment pieces. As such, keeping them in pristine condition is a top priority for watch enthusiasts. One of the smartest ways to protect your timepiece without compromising its aesthetics is by using TPU film protection.
But not all watches are affected by wear and tear in the same way. So, what types of watches actually benefit most from TPU film protection—and is it something every watch owner should consider?
Let’s dive in.
What Is TPU Film Protection?
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) film is a flexible, ultra-clear material that forms a protective barrier over your watch’s surfaces. It guards against:
Scratches and scuffs
Minor impact damage
Dust and environmental contaminants
Daily wear and tear from wrist movement, typing, or accidental knocks
Unlike bulky cases or pouches, TPU film is almost invisible, allowing you to enjoy the full design of your luxury watch while keeping it safe.
1. High-Polish Watches (E.g. Rolex Datejust, Omega Constellation)
High-polish surfaces are stunning but extremely prone to visible scratches. Even brushing lightly against a jacket zipper or office desk can cause micro-abrasions that dull the surface over time.
TPU film is ideal for these models because it preserves the mirror finish without changing the look or feel of the watch. With Watch Armour’s laser-cut technology, even the smallest curves and bevels are protected seamlessly.
2. Luxury Sports Watches (E.g. Rolex Submariner, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore)
Luxury sports watches are designed for action—but wearing them during travel, workouts, or casual outings exposes them to risk.
These watches often have intricate bezels, brushed lugs, or ceramic inserts. TPU film helps by:
Preventing bezel scratches from bags or door frames
Protecting bracelet links from accidental dings
Maintaining the crisp lines of brushed finishes
This makes TPU film a must-have for owners who want to wear their sports models worry-free.
3. Watches with Rare Finishes or Materials (E.g. PVD-coated, gold, platinum, or bronze watches)
Precious materials require extra caution. Gold is soft, PVD coating can chip, and platinum scratches easily. Once damaged, these materials are expensive or difficult to refinish.
TPU film acts like a second skin—shielding delicate surfaces while letting the watch’s beauty shine through.
4. Daily Wear or Office Watches (E.g. Rolex Oyster Perpetual, IWC Portofino, Cartier Tank)
If you wear your watch every day, especially in a work environment, it’s constantly exposed to:
Laptop edges
Desk corners
Smartwatch and phone contact
Shirt cuffs with buttons or metal clasps
TPU film is the best solution for daily wearers who want to keep their watches in top condition without babying them.
5. Collector or Investment Pieces (E.g. Limited Editions, Vintage Rolex, Discontinued Models)
Collectors often aim to keep their watches in mint condition to preserve or increase value. A minor scratch can lower resale price or collector interest.
TPU film provides non-invasive, removable protection that ensures the original finish is untouched. It’s also a smart layer of insurance before putting your watch into long-term storage or display.
