Shinola's innovative Forged Carbon Monster features a 45mm case crafted from forged carbon, a cutting-edge material that takes carbon fiber to the next level. Ultralight and corrosion-resistant, forged carbon is ultra-strong —but weighs as much as plastic. Carbon fiber is the stuff of race-cars, space, shuttles, and robots. FORGED CARBON IS THE STEP ABOVE. To create the case of the Forged Carbon Monster, carbon fiber is chopped into small pieces and mixed with resin. Under intense heat and pressure, it solidifies into a forged composite capable of incredible feats. Inspired by the Black Beach of northern Minnesota, the Forged Carbon Monster has a uniquely etched and colored case back that features the Great Lakes and arrives in a special edition gift set with a black rubber strap and woven orange nylon strap with a Leather backing.
