Super Matte Petrol Spinning Top MK1

Please note the petrol coating is unique to each and every component, it is almost impossible to get an identical coating, meaning each Petrol will be unique to you and will differ to the image shown above. 

What is PVD Coating?

PVD is a coating commonly used on watches, firearms and machine tooling. PVD, also known as DLC, is a super hard titanium coating. Different colours are achieved by coating the original material at different temperatures. Although the coating is very thin, usually only a few microns, due to the strength of the coating it can last for many years and can also reduce scratches and damage to a highly polished surface, meaning the polish will stay looking sharp for years to come.

The Super Matte surface finish is achieved by blasting the component with ultra-fine glass beads, it is a surface finish usually found on very high-end watches, hence the technical term watch blast.

The base material for all of our coated products is stainless steel.

About the Mk1 spinning top:

Each piece is precision machined on state of the art CNC lathes, producing perfectly balanced components. Once machined, each section is meticulously quality checked for weight and dimension. As well as making sure every millimetre is of the correct surface standard, they are then, and only then, hand finished and assembled in our workshop in Staffordshire, England.

It’s also an evolved version of the top which launched our successful Kickstarter campaign which means it has a tonne of Vorso history behind it.

With an improved knurled texture to the top of the spindle gives better grip, which in turn (pun intended) allows much more torque to be put into each spin, meaning more speed and longer times.
