Thrilled to finally have this piece on my wrist. First started work on this back in April 2020 or so with plenty of trial and error with destroyed machining tools.
This unique version of the Swordfish 40mm is made entirely from Tantalum, a rare and expensive metal with a blueish grey color. Its very dense and corrosion resistant with a similar feel to 18k gold. Its finished with a brushed bezel insert and fully sandblasted case. Just for reference, the same SF40 watch head in 316L SS weighs 78g, while this weighs 125g for the exact same dimensions.
I'll have a tiny handful of these available with the upcoming SF40 launch (price TBC but similar to timascus) but will also be producing more models in this material for 2021.
