Some people have always liked the pursuit of “alternative.” Many watch friends also want to own a watch made of “alternative” materials. In addition to the unique appearance, they can also explain the origin and awesomeness of the material when people ask about it, reflecting their “erudition” and killing two birds with one stone. Today, I will bring you three watches made of alternative materials.
Rolex DEEPSEA series 116660-98210
- Movement type: automatic machinery
- Case Material: 904L stainless steel, grade 5 titanium alloy bottom cover
- Strap material: 904L stainless steel
- Case diameter: 44 mm
Rolex’s stainless steel is not ordinary, but the 904L superalloy is durable and beautiful, even in extreme environments. Moreover, the Deepsea watch has a grade 5 titanium alloy bottom cover. Can this combination not be called an “alternative” material? The gradient “D-blue” dial is waterproof to 3,900 meters (12,800 feet). Its 44mm Oyster case is tightened with a patented Ringlock system. The Cal.3135 movement, known as the king of automatic winding movements, has unquestionable stability. The movement has a diameter of 28.5mm, a thickness of 6mm, a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour, 31 rubies, a power reserve of 50 hours, an instantaneous calendar, a four-arm Glucydur alloy balance wheel, four weights, 2 of which are adjustable weights, a Breguet hairspring, and a kif shock absorber. Rolex fake.
Panerai 2011 Series PAM 00382
- Movement Type: Automatic
- Case Material: Bronze
- Strap Material: Cowhide
- Case Diameter: 47mm
The bezel, case, lugs, and unique crown of this Panerai watch are all made of bronze, and the aging process is used, which has a unique charm. The diameter of the watch reaches 47mm, and the mirror and bottom cover are both made of sapphire, of which the mirror is made of sapphire made of corundum and is 4mm thick. The bottom cover and the watch ring are connected by titanium metal. It uses a fully self-produced P9000 automatic winding movement with hour, minute, and second display functions. Waterproof 300 meters. The bronze-feeling case, dark green dial, oversized hands, and rough-polished cowhide strap can be considered a tough guy watch. This watch was auctioned at the Antiquorum New York Spring Auction on April 15, 2015, and was finally sold for US$27,500, including commission.
Hublot UNICO series 411.NM.1170.RX
- Movement type: automatic machinery
- Case material: ceramic, titanium
- Strap material: rubber
- Case diameter: 45.5 mm
Ceramic has become a new favorite in the watchmaking industry due to its gloss, high hardness, no rust and discoloration, no staining, and stable chemical properties. The case of this Hublot watch not only uses a ceramic case but also a titanium alloy. It looks stunning, with a strong sense of layering and metallic taste. The transparent dial and the exquisite movement are clear at a glance and equipped with a chronograph function and a calendar display function. It has a black rubber bracelet, which is full of modernity and fabulous to wear. Fitted with the HUB 1242 Unico automatic winding movement, it is accurate and stable. Hublot replica.
Of course, there are many more “alternative” metal watches. With the rapid development of technology and the emergence of new materials, more beautiful, sturdy, and durable materials will be used in watchmaking. Let us wait and see.
