Titans (Beta 550)

From the AroundSquare website:

The original Titan titanium begleri, modified with a slightly larger bore diameter to accommodate 550 paracord. The 550 Beta Titans are 19mm by 19mm, and weigh in at 16g per bead--one gram lighter than the classic 275 paracord version.

About the anodized coating: The anodized finish on these titanium begleri is reasonably robust. Because of the hardness of titanium, the finish holds up against dings and scratches better than anodized aluminum. However, the finish is not as durable as the PVD coating used in the other titanium color editions. The anodized finish may change color somewhat after extended contact with the skin, but because the colors match well with the dark metallic color of titanium, the purple/green edition ages very nicely, and takes on more of a patina than what is observed in the other titanium models.
