I wondered what other dials were available and whether my dial came in a titanium case as well. Here is the info (pics borrowed for informational purposes only ? not affiliated with the sellers):
1) Japan Versions ? Titanium and Sapphire Crystals (Pics Courtesy of
www.watch-tanaka.com)
Notice that neither of the versions sold in Japan has the wave pattern. The silver dial has a brushed or sunburst appearance and the black dial has a carbon fiber/cross-hatched pattern. Also, neither watch has the WR200 above the six o?clock subdial. Instead, the word ?Titanium? appears.
Model No. PMZ56-2852
Model No. PMZ56-2851
2) Singapore Versions ? Titanium and Sapphire Crystals (Pics Courtesy of

The silvery white dial looks the same as the version available in the U.S. However the gray dial version is unique. The alarm chapter ring is closer to the center of the dial, making it very different from the other models. Both models have WR200 on the dial.
Model No. AV-0020-55A
Model No. AV-0020-55H
3) Versions available in the U.S. ? Stainless Steel and Mineral Crystals (Pics courtesy of

The two models available in the U.S. are Stainless Steel. Both the silvery white and the black dial models have the wave pattern on the dial. Both also have the WR200 on the dial
Model No. AV0031-59A
Model No. AV0031-59E
4)These stainless steel models appear to be the same as those offered in the U.S., but they have different model numbers. Perhaps they have a similar caseback to the titanium models. (Pics courtesy of

Model No. AV0037-52A
Model No. AV0037-52E
I?ve noticed that the caseback on my watch is different from the titanium models that I have seen. As you can see from the pic below, the Japanese market version has "Promaster" and "Duratect" on the caseback. Also, "Citizen," "Promaster," "Eco-Drive" and the Globe are engraved. On my steel model, "Citizen," "Eco-Drive" and the Globe are etched. ?Caliber 2100? is etched in the center. My steel model does not have ?Promaster? anywhere on the caseback.
I love this watch. Here?s mine.
