Full Tantalum case and bezel, with 'stealth' lume and hands. Brushed 'sterile' bezel and sandblasted case.
Tantalum is a rare and dense metal commonly used in capacitors or medical applications. It's extremely corrosion resistant and hypoallergenic, with a understated blueish grey hue. Tantalum is rarely used in timepieces and usually priced at a huge premium over steel due to the cost of raw material and the difficulty in machining.
On the wrist, tantalum feels similar to gold in density. The Swordfish 40 (head only) in Tantalum weighs 125g compared to 78g in 316L SS.
