Watches Made of Unique Materials

It is very often that people wear stainless steel watches. More rarely, but still quite often, people wear watches made of gold. Stainless steel and gold watches account for the vast majority of all watches ever sold or manufactured by watch companies worldwide. And that makes sense since stainless steel does not cost that much and it is highly durable and looks quite nice also. And gold watches, even though more expensive than stainless steel ones, are popular due to the popularity of the gold itself. Since gold is associated with luxury and jewelry many gold watches are more like jewelry pieces than timepieces. However, some watch companies manufacture great looking watches made of unique materials like ceramic, silver, titanium, submarine steel, platinum and even wood. So lets take a look at some of the watches made of something other than regular stainless steel or gold.

Lets start with a very famous German watch company called Sinn. Sinn manufactures various great watches and one of them is Sinn U1. Sinn U1 is probably the best watch made of a unique material that you can find. First of all, the design of this great watch is very unique. Second of all, this watch is also a dive watch so it is water proof up to one thousand meters. And finally, this dive watch is made of not a regular stainless steel but of a submarine steel. The steel that is used to make Sinn U1 dive watch is the same steel that is used to make German submarines. This submarine steel is very sea water resistant and is also highly anti-magnetic. You can get a Sinn U1 with a submarine steel bracelet and an automatic (self-winding mechanical) movement for about eighteen hundred dollars.

So as you can see there are many watches made of various unique materials. Some of the unique materials like platinum and silver cost a lot due to their market value, so obviously watches made of platinum or silver will cost a lot of money. While titanium is quite inexpensive and watches made of titanium do not cost much more than stainless steel ones. Of course, the value of the watch also depends on the brand itself, so the more famous and high-end the watch company is the more expensive the watch will be.

If you have a watch than chance are that it is made of regular stainless steel or gold. And as I have mentioned before stainless steel watches together with gold watches account for the majority of the watches sold worldwide. However, watches made of unique materials like ceramic, silver, titanium, submarine steel, platinum or wood are great alternatives to regular stainless steel and gold watches. So if you are tired of wearing a regular stainless steel or gold watch than you should look into watches that I have mentioned above or search for watches made of the unique materials like ceramic, silver, titanium, submarine steel, platinum or wood.
