Watches by case material

94 references carry a sourced case material. Pick one to list every reference made in it.

Stainless steel

The default case metal for sports and everyday watches: corrosion-resistant, durable and easy to finish brushed or polished. 316L is the most common grade.

Resin

Moulded plastic cases, common on digital and tool watches: very light, inexpensive and good at absorbing knocks.

Titanium

Roughly 40% lighter than steel for the same volume and hypoallergenic for most wearers. It is usually a darker grey than steel and, unless surface-hardened, marks more easily.

White gold

Solid gold, usually 18k (75% gold), alloyed with other metals that set its colour. Heavier and softer than steel, so it marks more easily.

Rose gold

Solid gold, usually 18k (75% gold), alloyed with other metals that set its colour. Heavier and softer than steel, so it marks more easily.
