An "On-the-Wrist" Review of the St. Gallen PVD Disinfectable "Rescue" Watch

           

BACKGROUND

           

The world that we all live in has become more vigilant and "on guard" against infectious diseases, germs, and bacteria. St. Gallen is a Swiss company with international investors that produces Swiss Made watches. It is known for a line of "disinfectable" watches, referred to as "The World's First Hygienic Watch" that can be immersed into the harsh cleansers used at hospitals for disinfecting and killing bacteria and germs.

           

DISSECTION OF WATCH

           

Enough talk about disease and sterilization, let's take a look at St. Gallen's Disinfectable "Rescue" watch. I will dissect the watch first, and then later on Dr. Mitch Katz will explain how one can measure pulse and respiratory rates with this watch.

           

Please take note that the "Rescue" watch we are dissecting today has been well worn for over a year so you may see signs of normal wear and tear.

           

The "Rescue" consists of 3 parts - the watchcase - rubber strap - and buckle.

           

Case

           

The "Rescue" 42mm PVD coated steel case houses an ETA 2824-2 automatic movement that has a power reserve of 38 hours. The case is a seamless single block of 316L stainless steel, which has strong oxidation tolerance and is perfect to use as a daily beater watch even in medical sites. The bezel is part of the watchcase, so there are no crevices or uneven surfaces that can hide germs. The case is totally submersible and has the feel of, and is, a solidly constructed watch.

           

Dial

           

The dial is very attractive with a Carbon Fiber Weave Pattern, highly legible and easy to read. The date window is between 4 and 5 o?clock; and if you look at the dial at an angle, you will notice that there is depth to the dial. The Carbon Fiber Weave Pattern layer is beneath the printing on the dial, creating an interesting 3-D floating type of effect.

           

Caseback

           

The screw-in caseback is PVD?ed as well like the case, and the circle surrounding "St. Gallen Horology" is engraved rather than in relief.

           

Crown

           

The screw-down crown, nicely sized for easy handling, protects the inner movement from any fluid including the disinfectant solution that might be used. The crown is also PVD?ed and accented with the St. Gallen cross.

           

Lugs and Strap

           

The watch lies comfortably on the wrist, even on Mitch's small 6.25? wrist, thanks to the lugs that slope at an angle that sends the strap downwards, not outwards. The medical-grade silicon rubber strap is 22mm and non-tapering in width, but it does taper in thickness from 5mm at the lugs down to 2mm at the end.

           

Buckle

           

The buckle slides out from the strap for easy maintenance and cleaning just like the straps. Securing the buckle tooth into the strap hole can sometimes be frustrating, but with practice, the watch becomes easier to strap on.

           

THE WATCH FROM DR. KATZ'S POINT-OF-VIEW

           

I work in the medical profession where there is a constant battle against germs, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Personal accessories like watches can harbor these germs in crevices. The St. Gallen Disinfectable ?Rescue? watch addresses these concerns and is constructed to allow the wearer to take both a pulse and respiratory rate.

           

How to measure pulse and respiratory rate with the "Rescue"

           

The watch has a scale on the bezel for calculating pulse and respiratory rate. When the second hand reaches 12 o?clock, the wearer counts 15 pulsations and reads the converted heart rate on the scale. Similarly, the respiratory rate can be measured by counting 5 respirations when the second hand reaches 6 o?clock.

                       

Thank you for reading,
Anthony Tsai & Dr. Mitch Katz
