Is the Purnell Escape II Grade 5 Titanium nickel-free?
On the maker's published specification, nothing that touches the skin is steel: the case, caseback, crown and strap buckle are all non-steel. The guide records what the maker publishes and has not tested the watch, so if you react to nickel, confirm the contact points with the maker before buying.
What grade of titanium is the Purnell Escape II Grade 5 Titanium?
Grade 5, from a secondary source. The guide has not yet read the grade on the maker's own page. The caseback is sapphire.

The case is 48 mm across and 19 mm thick. It is water resistant to 30 m.
How much does the Purnell Escape II Grade 5 Titanium cost, and is it available?
