Limited Edition of only 50 pieces. Tantalum is a rare and dense metal commonly used in capacitors or medical applications. It is extremely corrosion resistant and hypoallergenic, with an 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.
