The titanium case is exquisitely finished with alternating brushed and polished surfaces to provide depth in complexity to the watch. It is sleek, inconspicuous, and combined with a colour-coded set of hands and movements, creates an impeccable monochrome outfit for the wrist.
Timascus is Titanium Damascus, an alloy formed by combining two different titanium alloys, resulting in an extremely strong and light material boasting wood-grain patterns. It is a very visually striking material that never fails to capture the attention of those who lay eyes on it.
It is worth noting that Zelos was the first watch manufacturer in the world to create a watch utilizing the Ti-Damascus material. The Ti-damascus material used is comprised of grade 2 and grade 5 titanium, repeatedly folded and forged to create a material strong than the sum of it’s parts. To achieve its stunning colors, each piece is torched personally by Elshan.
Yellow Titanium Damascus is achieved with a lower temperature of roughly 350 Celcius while Blued Titanium Damascus is achieved at approximately 500 Celcius.
Lastly, we have Mokume-gane: A similar metalworking procedure of Japanese origins, utilizing copper and nickel silver to produce a similar wood-grain pattern. One difference is that Mokume-gane will patina, with the copper portions eventually aging to a beautiful dark red, providing a contrast against the nickel silver.
