      Does the titanium version has the same plastic crown / plastic buttons or do we have that made from titanium? Plastic crown was a deal-breaker when I tried the original Race S and I went back to my Race titanium - for the more precise crown.

        @csandras pretty sure the crown and the buttons on the Stainless Steel Race S are, well Stainless Steelโ€ฆ

        Just tapped my tooth on mine and yep itโ€™s definitely metal: itโ€™s colder and makes a metallic noise compared to the plastic body portion.

        So i guess itโ€™d be titanium for the titanium version

            @Egika would make sense ๐Ÿ™‚ quite pleased with how much S.Steel/Ti is included in our Race S for the price! Meanwhile, the FR 265 is basically all plastic ๐Ÿ˜…
