For years I have Tissot T-Touch in Titanium. Over years my watches went twice for battery replacement including necessary pressure sensors and sesks to authorised Tissot service in Melbourne, Australia. They do excellent job. My watches always come back as brand new. I wear them often in turn with various Seiko wrist watches.
Yeah, same here!nhade it for 15 years now and it will never leave me. I have the carbon fiber dial and polished finish

Great overview. Thanks for taking the time to write this! My first Titanium was a Tudor Pelagos and I’ve loved it for years. It’s what I take on nearly every trip because it’s so durable, lightweight, and comfortable.

As the owner of several watches, including Omega, Tag and Tutor, I would not choose titanium on a daily wear timepiece mainly due to the softness. Brinell ratings actually show steel as nearly double the hardness of titanium. Additionally, titanium on timepieces isn’t pure and tends to be alloys or mixed metals with just enough actual earth metal (40%) to be marketed as titanium. My previous timepieces that are cast in titanium look very beat up after a few wears and the metal itself looks cloudy and dim from moisturizers, hand soaps, etc. Titanium watches are nearly half the weight of steel, so this is true and you can tell the significant difference in the wear of a heavy steel bracelet and case. However, for the uncharge on titanium I would forgo owning the metal on a luxury watch because it will look dull and scratched after a few wears. Not really why collectors spend big money on timepieces.
Just my two cents… hope all is well!

You didn’t touch on the difference between T2 and T5 grade of Titanium

Forgot to mention Blancpain and their titanium offerings. Fifty Fathoms and Bathy all feature their grade 23 Ti 🙂

Some content on Titanium grades, what that means, and who uses which grades of Titanium on their watches would be useful.
