This will be a typical element of clothing, however, made in an unusual form.

After a chemical bath, the patterns of penetrating layers of steel were visible on the buckle.

This one is particularly beautiful. The pattern looks almost psychedelic :thumbup:

Thank you @Hako :)
Today work in titanium.
Ti 6Al-4V (Grade 5) this alloy offers its high strength at a light weight, and high corrosion resistance.

That damascus type buckle is quite an artwork,
It would be interesting if one could built a durable watch case from these "exotic" metals you work with!

@ Alou yes, it's true, but it requires an incredibly large amount of work time, which effectively means that I will probably never undertake it.

Titanium 24mm watch buckle.
Why Titanium?
Titanium is extremely durable, light and warm to the touch.
It has an extraordinary advantage that everyone with sensitive skin will appreciate - it is antiallergic.
