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. The Hammerhead 3 made of this heavy metal weighs in at 200g. It features a sand textured matt blue dial which perfectly matches the blueish tantalum hue.

Sensei Says
The specs, in plain English
The movement
NH35. An entry-tier movement (think Seiko NH-series): rugged, serviceable anywhere, and easy to live with. Not decorated, but it just works.
On the wrist
At 44 mm it wears boldly, a 48 mm lug-to-lug suits most wrists.
The value
Fairly priced for what it is.
