Anti-magnetic

Is a feature or characteristic of a watch that allows it to resist or minimize the effects of magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can interfere with the proper functioning of a watch movement, causing inaccuracies in timekeeping. An anti-magnetic watch is designed with materials and components that are not easily affected by magnetic fields. It may include the use of anti-magnetic alloys, such as certain types of steel or non-ferrous materials, as well as additional shielding or protection measures. The purpose of an anti-magnetic watch is to maintain accurate timekeeping even when exposed to magnetic fields commonly encountered in daily life, such as those generated by electronic devices or magnetic closures.
