Metal, watch material

Titanium is used more and more for watch cases, especially for watches with a modern appearance. Titanium is [[nickel]]-free and thus hypoallergenic --- this is a big advantage for people with allergies.

Titanium is completely air-stable and excels [[stainless steel]] in its corrosion resistance. Significant deposits of titanium-bearing rocks are found in Australia, Canada, Norway, South Africa, and the United States.

The titanium watch model [[Porsche Design by IWC Ocean 2000]], which was launched at the beginning of [[1980]], promoted significantly the popularity of this metal at the production of watches.
