You want scratch resistance and you want it now? Try the close cousin
to the armor, aluminum oxide. Used for bar scanner windows.

Also known as corundum. This is the stuff sapphires and rubies are made of
(with different impurities creating the different colors). In fact, there
are watch makers that use corundum crystals for their watches (usually
marketed as "synthetic sapphire" crystals).
