This James Bond-like wearable tech suit will make you feel like a million dollars, literally. Retailing at $3.2 million from the company Suit Art, the bedazzled Diamond Armor weighs in at 140 carats per piece, with a total of 600 black diamonds encrusted throughout. Interestingly enough, the Diamond Armor suit is bulletproof, waterproof, air-conditioned, and is just about ready to star in its own action-adventure film.
The bulletproofing feature is NATO certified, allowing its wearer to avoid gunshots with bullets from 9-mm pistols to .357 Magnums. The air-conditioning technology works by pumping humidified water through the jacket. As developed by EMPA, the technology is enabled by pushing a button. Suit Art collaborated with Swiss company UNICO Swiss Tex GmbH.
Nanotechnology sealing was embedded into the suit to make it fully waterproof. Diamond Armor was inspired by the way that plants resist water in their natural habitats; the company then incorporated this concept into the suit’s design and fabrication. Suit Art worked with Schoeller Tech in Switzerland to transfer the nonsticky cleaning process, integrating nanotechnology into the textile fabrics. The fabric is also dirt-resistant, and will not require washing every time a stain appears on the cloth.
The suit comes with a matching watch and a beautiful golden 24-carat silken tie.
