Titanium Chronograph Watch
Titanium is a metallic element found in the earth's crust. The element occurs as a bright, lustrous metal or a silver-gray or dark gray powder. In commercial use titanium is normally alloyed with other chemicals to create an extremely hard and durable material. Alloyed Titanium is categorized by grades that are often referred to by their tensile strengths, as in 35A, 50A, etc. The difference has to do with sub-percentage traces of oxygen and iron in the metal. The more of these dopants (inclusions, contaminants) there is, the harder the metal becomes. The most common grade used in Jewelry and watches is aircraft grade Titanium.
