The Seiko site says stainless steel, which might make sense - though I’m not sure if they mean the insert or just the bezel itself. It is definitely more scratch resistant than I would expect aluminium to be.

Whatever it is, it's not just polished alu. It has a deep shiny coating of some sort. Glass like.

Yes, but I don’t think it’s sapphire or anything. The markings are engraved and it looks like metal where that has been done. Also my blue one had quite a metallic quality to the colour, like anodising or something (pic attached). I’ll get the loupe on the 017 at some point and try and suss it out.
