Titanium Watches

Men and women are discovering the beauty, benefits and durability of titanium watches. They have advantages over other materials such as stainless steel, platinum or gold filled watches because titanium is resistant to scratching, corrosion and is a very light weight metal. The most commonly known use for titanium watches is for diving watches because titanium isn’t impacted by exposure to extreme weather conditions or saltwater. Titanium didn’t make its way into the mainstream until nearly the mid 1970s; before that it was seen most regularly in construction of space craft and aviation materials. Once titanium is exposed to the atmosphere it forms an oxide film that helps resist corrosion. That makes this silver-gray material perfect for aircraft for which it is exposed to extreme atmospheric extremes. Titanium is a metal that is considered environmentally sound and is also in plentiful supply. While it may be slightly more expensive to manufacture than other metals, the price you pay for it is an investment in its beauty and durability. Even though titanium is durable and resistant to weather and scratches, it became more wide spread in its use as a material for jewelry because of its color. Because white metals, such as platinum and white gold, have seen resurgence in popularity in recent years, titanium and its color have become more prized in that aspect. Men that work in construction jobs or other positions in which their watch might take a battering, prefer titanium surplus over other jewelry materials because the watch will stay intact. For men that don’t work in careers in which their watches will be subjected to abuse, titanium is prized because of its beauty and appearance. The watches made from titanium are also extremely lightweight and aren’t affected by perspiration. While titanium is more expensive than stainless steel, it makes up for it in durability and scratch resistance. It’s becoming easier to find titanium watches that are less expensive which is helping to make them more mainstream when it comes to jewelry for men. Titanium is also becoming the metal of choice when it comes to wedding rings for both men and women. The metal is pliable and easily colored to set your wedding rings apart from other couples. Titanium helps you make a statement whether in a ring or a watch.
