I have several titanium watches, not because of allergies, but because I prefer the light weight.
My favorite is a Mido All Dial Chronograph in titanium.

I also have a fairly rare Citizen Nighthawk Eco-Drive in titanium,

And a titanium Ocean 7

I also have a Omega Polaris multi-function and I'm pretty sure I have a 20 year old Seiko Kinetic titanium somewhere....
I think that Ocean 7 would also be a great candidate. Their watches are very nice, reasonably priced and it's an American company. I would also agree with @Zabrolak that you can't go wrong with either Seiko or Citizen. I like the JDM Citizens better than the ones offered in the US, so that might be an interesting angle ...
I'd love to see a Mido All Dial, but it's likely too expensive as the titanium models sell for around $1000. IRC Marathon also make (made) a nice titanium diver and there's of course Skagen, which are not bad but a little boring. Rado also makes really nice ceramic watches but they are very expensive - I have a Rado multi-function and even used it's nearer $1000 than $500. Plus the backs are stainless.
Just to throw another brand, material into the mix, I also have a brass watch from a Thai-based company called Maranez - it's very, very well made and distinctive - the pic doesn't do it justice, the brass is uncoated, so it will tarnish green, which is pretty neat.

I've also owned a number of no-name brand titanium watches and they were all pretty crappy. Best to stay away from those....
Anyway, sorry for the long post, I have a bit of a watch fetish.....
