 Tungsten, Ti, Kevlar and don't need a carry license...
Seiko Model : SKZ205K1  Type : Divers Metal : Titanium Movement : Automatic Seiko 5 Diver's 200 Automatic Caliber: 7S36 ( 23 Jewels ) Sapphire crystal glass (convex surface) Solid links titanium bracelet with double locking clasp with additional wet suit extension clasp. Machine knurled tungsten bezel and titanium crown. Limited Edition (2005 pieces produced of each Ti and Steel) Case width 44mm Case thickness: 13mm Bracelet reference: 3301-B.I The diving extension on the Ti version is usually only found on the "master" line (ie: marine master) and is fantastic. The curved case design is an allusion to the 1960 era and works very well with the solid bracelet. I guess comparing the Ti and Steel versions highlight's the Ti's appeal to me:  Ti on right... - the bezel numbering on the Ti Model i find more appealing, as well as the relief/depth of the numbering
- The kevlar weave of the Ti model's face is amazing to view.
- The lighter weight of the Ti model's band and case is offset with the weighty tungsten Bezel (i'm a big fan of Tungsten) and the knurling on the tungsten bezel I find more refined
- The 'divers extension' on the Steel version leaves a bit to be desired (i have it on my Orange Monster) whereas the Ti's extension is found on Marine Masters and other high end Seikos
- It's Ti, which helps my skin stay happy.
