The 21st century has ushered in a new era of material science. Ceramics offer a scratch-resistant, lightweight finish in deep blacks or pristine whites. Titanium provides incredible strength with featherlight comfort. Forged carbon creates unique, marbled patterns, making each watch case singular.
And then there are proprietary alloys like Rolex's Oystersteel, prized for its brilliant corrosion-resistant luster, or Omega's Ceragold and Sedna™ gold, fusing ceramic with gold for unprecedented durability and color.
