Thanks flamenco!
The Tantalum was actually the first attraction to me as I am familiar with that rare earth metal, it composes the Coltan (Columbite Tantalum) a so called conflict-mineral of central Africa; there are special purchase channels very controlled and It's not an easy material to obtain; the treatment is complex also due to the metal's density and high fusion point, that's why it's so scratch resistant. I like also the color and the dark light that comes out of it; perfect companion to the already shinny the dial.
I think there are a few available around in internet; Last time I saw one in European boutique was about a year ago.
