Titanium, once an uncommon and exotic material for use in luxury watches, has become much more widespread, as manufacturing techniques have evolved.  If you like the feathery weight of titanium, and enjoy its great feel and durability, but are getting the itch for something different, you might consider a more uncommon alternative–aluminum.

The Bvlgari Diagono Aluminum watch features a case made from ultra-tough aluminum, a challenging material to machine with the extreme precision required for a water resistant watch case.  Like titanium, its purity makes it a great choice for anyone who has allergies to many metals, and of course it is also very, very lightweight.

Bvlgari has done a great job with this Diagono watch variant which combines aluminum with rubber and carbon fiber in a very appealing way that really emphasizes a casual, very sporty type of luxury.  I really can’t think of a watch that epitomizes the “weekend watch” more than this one–stylish, easy to wear, and low key, its nonetheless very high quality and sophisticated while being able to endure the elements well.�
