The 28 Best Titanium Watches - A Complete Guide for 2024

Titanium is by no means a new material in the watch industry. In fact, it’s been used on a commercial level in case construction for more than 50 years. Titanium in its raw form as a structural metal is 40% lighter than stainless steel while still just as hard. Among its appeal for watchmaking purposes are the facts that it is also highly resistant to corrosion by the elements as well as being hypoallergenic.

There are different grades of titanium as well, which offer different characteristics based on how it’s alloyed with other metals. Titanium ranges in color from dark gunmetal grey to a steely silver which gives it versatility in different applications. Perhaps the most enticing aspect of titanium, particularly from the consumer side, is that despite its high-quality characteristics, there isn’t a massive discrepancy between its price versus that of stainless steel. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of 28 outstanding titanium watches in a range of price categories.

Citizen Promaster Super Armor titanium watch

Citizen Promaster Super Titanium Armor 

In 1970, Citizen launched the very first titanium wrist watch called the X-8 Cosmotron Chronometer. Today, Citizen uses what it calls Super Titanium, a titanium alloy coated with a proprietary hardening agent that increases the hardness of the metal to five times that of stainless steel. Super Titanium is used for the entire case and bracelet and the dial has been designed to embody the Armor theme with a shield-like aesthetic. The Promaster Super Titanium Armor is moderately sized at 41mm and actually wears slightly smaller than that; it's an everyday wearer that exudes some of the 1970s vintage characteristics as well as modern technology, the latter courtesy of its Eco-Drive movement.

Victorinox INOX

Victorinox I.N.O.X Titanium 

The I.N.O.X. Titanium by Victorinox is designed to take on extreme circumstances and it’s been placed through a battery of brutal tests to ensure high-level performance when it matters most. For most of us, knowing the watch can withstand such situations is reassuring, even if it won’t be exposed to anything more extreme than a day at an amusement park. A masculine case design with a smooth sandblasted finish is paired with a classic matte black dial. Powered by a quartz movement, the I.N.O.X. is a true set-it-and-forget-it type of watch that can be used every day.

tudor pelagos titanium dive watch

Tudor Pelagos

It’s no secret that the Black Bay collection draws a lion’s share of the attention when it comes to Tudor sports models, but the Pelagos is actually more focused and purpose-built as a tool watch. The Pelagos comes equipped with the in-house MT5612 movement and boasts the same 70-hour power reserve as the Black Bay, but brings a bit more to the table for diving: the Pelagos is rated for 660m of water resistance versus the 200m of the Black Bay. The titanium case is a large but wearable 42mm and the dial indices are big, bold, and easy to read.

Case Size: 42 mm, Thickness: 14.3 mm, Lug-to-Lug: 50 mm, Water Resistance: 500 m, Movement: Automatic MT5612, Crystal: Sapphire, Price: $4575

seiko sarx055 baby grand seiko snowflake titanium watch

Seiko SARX055 “Baby Snowflake”

Known as the Baby Snowflake, the Seiko Presage SARX055 is a more affordable option than it’s big brother, the Grand Seiko Snowflake, which has also made this list (see below). Impressive mirror-like finishing to the case and its sharp angles are ample on this piece and the bracelet contours to the wrist nicely given the reasonable 41mm case size. The dial highlights the SARX055 with a fine snow-like texture that gives the piece its nickname and the automatic 6R15 movement is accurate between -25/+15 seconds a day.

Case Size: 41 mm, Thickness: 11.5 mm, Lug-to-Lug: 46 mm, Water Resistance: 100 m, Movement: Automatic 6R15, Crystal: Sapphire

 

Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Automatic

Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Auto

The Khaki Field Titanium automatic is a piece that’s packed with value, from the military-inspired design of the dial and case, to the H-10 automatic movement which provides 80 hours of power reserve behind an exhibition caseback to its 100m of water resistance. While this series of titanium models are on the larger side of the field watch spectrum, they make up that size by being lighter in comparison, which enhances wearability, especially on smaller wrist sizes. The “all-around watch” moniker gets tossed around a lot to describe certain pieces, but make no mistake about it, the Khaki Field Titanium Automatic is just that.

Case Size: 42 mm, Thickness: 11.5 mm, Lug-to-Lug: 52 mm, Lug Width: 20 mm, Water Resistance: 100 m, Movement: Automatic H-10 (ETA C07.111), Crystal: Sapphire, Price: $925

 

Oris Aquis Date Titanium

Oris Aquis Titanium Date

Built with both value and performance in mind, the Aquis collection has been a pillar of the Oris brand for years. The Aquis Titanium Date offers all of the same qualities as its steel counterparts - the automatic Swiss Sellita movement, ceramic bezel insert, clean legible dial, and true diving capabilities, in a lightweight package, particularly when supplied with the titanium bracelet. Measuring 43.5mm across and 49mm from lug to lug, it’s large but not overwhelming. Currently the Aquis Titanium date is a standalone, sunburst grey dial option on your choice of either a rubber strap and buckle combination or the aforementioned titanium bracelet.

mido ocean star 200 titanium dive watch

Mido Ocean Star 200 Titanium

Mido’s Ocean Star 200 Titanium is executed alongside a popular range of stainless steel models, and offers the same level of value when it comes to versatility as its steel counterparts. The 42.5mm case with its short lugs wears smaller than the size suggests, making it suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. A charcoal grey dial with the burnt orange accent color works well against the grey tones of the titanium. Everyday practicality is apparent with the 200m of water resistance, a rotating dive-scale bezel, and 80 hours of power reserve from the automatic ETA C07.671 inside.

longines avaition bigeye titanium aviator watch

Longines Avigation BigEye

The idea of a titanium aviation watch makes quite a bit of sense from a practical standpoint, but it's only been within the last few years that we’ve seen the metal being used by some of the large, upmarket brands. Longines's use of titanium for its Avigation BigEye is a handsome execution of a pilot watch with it’s black-eyed-blue dial configuration. As aviation watches tend to be larger than average by design, this piece is actually reasonably sized at 41mm and 14.5mm thick to house the L688 automatic, column wheel chronograph movement. The addition of beige lume and the clean dial layout gives the BigEye some vintage flair to go along with its modern elements.

sinn t1 ezm14 titanium watch

Sinn T1

The Sinn T1 is a no-nonsense mechanical dive watch packed with clever technology and detail. It’s a substantial tonneau shaped case with clear legibility both for everyday use and, of course, for diving. Over-engineered with impressive technology from the TEGIMENT surface hardening application, to the Captive Safety Diver’s Bezel, and the AR-Dehumidifying Technology, Sinn’s priorities are clear: reliability and security. Powering the T1 is the robust automatic ETA 2892-2A for top-notch reliability in harsh conditions. The end result is a hardcore, DVN GL certified dive watch that leaves nothing to chance.

Case Size: 45 mm, Thickness: 12.5 mm, Lug-to-Lug: Approx. 48 mm, Lug Width: 22 mm, Water Resistance: 1000 m, Movement: Automatic ETA 2892-2A, Crystal: Sapphire

TAG Heuer Aquaracer

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Green Titanium

Titanium is highly resistant to the elements, making it an excellent choice for general watch construction, but specifically its use for submersible watches takes full advantage of its properties. Like many brands that offer a titanium dive watch, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer's embrace of titanium is put to good use not only as a practical matter but from a design standpoint as well. The 43mm case is matte bead blasted and that look carries on to the well-appointed titanium bracelet and the rugged look pairs well with the green dial and green ceramic bezel insert. Readability should not be an issue with the large dial indices and lume filled hands.

Grand Seiko SBGA211

Grand Seiko "Snowflake" SBGA211

The Grand Seiko Snowflake is a standard bearer for luxury titanium watches in a lot of ways. The finishing of the “high-intensity” titanium is among the best in the world and so too is the finely textured white “snowflake” dial. When you couple the design with the technology of the 9R65 Spring Drive movement, you have the recipe for one of the most desirable titanium watches on the luxury watch market today. The Spring Drive movement is going to provide three days worth of power reserve with precision within just a 1 second a day and 15 seconds a month.

Reference: SBGA211
Case Size: 41 mm, Thickness: 12.5 mm, Lug-to-Lug: Approx. 48 mm, Lug Width: 20 mm, Water Resistance: 100 m, Movement: Spring Drive 9R65, Crystal: Sapphire, Price: $5800

iwc mark xviii heritage iw327006 titanium watch

IWC Mark XVIII Heritage Titanium

Like Longines, IWC is one of just a few large luxury brands that have utilized titanium for their aviation collection. The IWC Mark XVIII Heritage Titanium is a classic take on a pilot watch, with a moderate 40mm case at just 10.8mm thick and traditional matte black dial and bold dial indices and hands treated with luminous material - and this design language has some real everyday appeal. While IWC does offer an in-house movement for the Big Pilot, for the IW3270, you’ll be getting the Sellita based Caliber 35111, which provides 38 hours of power reserve and solid reliability.

zenith defy classic titanium watch

Zenith Defy Classic

Perhaps no brand has embraced the use of titanium over the past five years to reboot a lineup quite like Zenith has. The Zenith Defy Classic is an entry into the Defy collection, which is made up of predominantly sporty, modern titanium watches that have helped redefine the brand. The tonneau shaped case of the Defy Classic is moderately sized by comparison to other Defy models and therefore suitable for average wrist sizes. While the Defy doesn’t use the iconic El Primero movement, it does come equipped with Zenith’s Elite family of movements for both the standard dial options as well as the openworked variants.

omega aqua terra goodplanet titanium watch

Omega Aqua Terra GoodPlanet

The Aqua Terra collection has long been overshadowed by the more prominent Seamaster and Speedmaster lines, but as a whole, it offers some of the best everyday value in its price category. For the Aqua Terra GoodPlanet, Omega utilizes grade 5 titanium, which is more silvery in color than most titanium used in the industry, for the 38.5mm case and bracelet. It’s then finished with both brush and polish surfaces which gives it everyday versatility. Additionally, the Aqua Terra is fitted with the chronometer certified Caliber 8500.

grand seiko sbga231 titanium watch

Grand Seiko SBGA231

Much like the Snowflake SBGA211, the SBGA231 offers a level of craftsmanship and value that’s hard to ignore, this time packaged in a larger, sporty dive watch. A rotating bezel, water resistance to 200m, and LumiBrite applied to the hands and dial give the SBGA231 real underwater chops to go with the high-intensity titanium case and bracelet. As with the Snowflake, it’s the quality of finishing that separates it from the pack with mirror-polish surfaces created with traditional Zaratsu polishing techniques. Powering this model is the same Spring Drive 9R65 movement, providing impressive performance including that full day power reserve, one-second-a-day accuracy and Grand Seiko’s signature smooth sweep second hand.

Case Size: 44.2 mm, Thickness: 14 mm, Lug-to-Lug: 50.5 mm, Lug Width: 22 mm, Water Resistance: 200 m, Movement: Spring Drive 9S65, Crystal: Sapphire, Price: $7100

 

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition

Worn by Daniel Craig in the James Bond film “No Time to Die”, the Omega Seamaster 300M Co-Axial Chronometer 42mm 007 Edition has both cinematic credits to its name and bonafide everyday utility, even if you aren’t trying to save the world. Grade 2 titanium is used for the case, which is slightly thinner than the typical Diver 300M, as well as the milanese bracelet. Vintage inspiration is found when looking at the bezel and dial with Omega’s choice of a tropical brown color for the bezel text and dial elements. Inside, the METAS certified chronometer Caliber 8806 powers this piece.

bulgari octo finissimo titanium watch

Bulgari Octo Finissimo 

One of the most interesting and exciting titanium watches to be released over the past handful of years has to be the Bulgari Octo Finissimo. Much like the Zenith Defy, it has been a breath of fresh air in a saturated luxury sports watch market. The stepped, octagonal case design is unlike anything else available and the 5.15mm thin profile is equally as impressive. Inside the Octo Finissimo is powered by the razor thin, self-winding BVL 128 Finissimo which is finished to the highest order. Matte finishes dominate the case, bracelet and dial for a distinct, uniform design. The Octo Finissimo can be picked up on either an integrated bracelet or an alligator strap and buckle combo.

Blancpain Air Command Titanium

Blancpain Air Command Flyback Chronograph Titanium

Revived in 2019 as a limited edition in steel, the Blancpain Air Command traces its history to a prototype made for the French Ministry of Defence in the 1950s, and its successor that was produced in limited numbers for the U.S. Air Force shortly thereafter. In 2021, the vintage-flavored aviation watch joined Blancpain’s regular lineup in a satin-brushed case made of grade 23 titanium (a higher grade than those usually found in watchmaking) and a contemporary blue dial. Among the watch’s retro utilitarian elements are its ratcheted bidirectional bezel that enables a pilot to keep track of his fuel reserve in flight and a tachymeter scale for calculating air speeds. The flyback chronograph-equipped Caliber F385 inside holds a power reserve of 50 hours and is finished in a stark, mostly matter finish that differentiates it from Blancpain’s usual ornately decorated movements.

Porsche Design Chronograph 1 1972 Edition

Porsche Design Chronograph 1 1972 Limited Edition

Sports car aficionados know Professor Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche as the designer of the Porsche 911, but he also deserves acclaim for contributing one of the watch world’s most iconic and influential models, the original Chronograph 1, in 1972. That watch, one of the first to apply an all-black “stealth” aesthetic as well as a dashboard-style dial design, inspired the new Limited Edition version released in celebration of its 50th year. Its case and bracelet are made of black carbide-coated titanium rather than the original’s PVD-coated steel — appropriate and on-theme, as Porsche Design was one of the pioneers of making watch cases in motorsport-tested titanium. Replacing the vintage model’s Valjoux 7750 movement is Porsche Design’s in-house Caliber WERK 1.140, with a 48-hour power reserve and COSC-certified chronometric precision. 

Reference: 6041.7.01.001.01.5, Case Size: 40.8mm, Water Resistance: 100m, Movement: Automatic Caliber WERK 1.140 Caliber 3888, Crystal: Sapphire, Price: $7,700

Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Ti-230

Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute TI-230

When someone at Girard-Perregaux uncovered the trivia tidbit that the discovery of titanium occurred in the same year (1791) as the founding of the watch maison that would eventually be known as Girard-Perregaux, the result was this limited edition from the brand’s sporty yet avant-garde Laureato Absolute collection. The watch’s 44-mm case, which incorporates the octagonal bezel that is emblematic of Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato models, is made of grade 5 titanium with a meticulous array of satin brushed and polished finishes and integrates into a fabric-effect “Rubber Alloy” strap that also uses titanium in its structure. Beating behind the sandwich-style dial is Girard-Perregaux’s in-house automatic Caliber GP03300-1060, storing 45 hours of power and finished to exacting haute horlogerie standards.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Titanium

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 RLX Titanium

Rolex released the original Yacht-Master in 1992 and the newest model, launched at Watches and Wonders 2023, sparked intense interest as the first version of Rolex’s nautical icon with a case made of RLX titanium, a strong, corrosion-resistant, and very lightweight alloy, with a technical satin finish that lends it an intriguing, grained texture. The monobloc case also boasts high-sheen and polished finishing on its other facets. The dial is in Rolex’s “intense” black and sports its own intriguing grained texture. The bracelet is made of titanium as well, with ceramic inserts, and is fitted with Rolex’s Easylink extension system for wearing comfort. Inside the watch is the in-house, chronometer-certified Rolex Caliber 3235, packing a 72-hour power reserve and all the patented technology that Rolex fans have come to expect and demand.

Price: $14,050, Case Size: 42mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 100 meters, Movement: Automatic Rolex Caliber 3235

A. Lange & Soehne Odysseus Titanium

A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Titanium

Germany’s A. Lange & Söhne makes nearly all of its watches in precious metals, so the introduction of the Odysseus — a stainless steel sport-luxury watch with an integrated bracelet — made major waves when it was announced  in 2018. The Saxon manufacture followed up the original with a titanium-cased version in 2022, which also introduced a new “ice blue” dial color. The finishing on the case and its integrated titanium bracelet is impeccable, with an array of matte, brushed, and polished surfaces. The dial sports its own distinctive finishing, with finely guillochéd grooves on the hour ring contrasting with the granular surface of the main dial and circular lines on the small seconds sundial at 6 o’clock for a 3D effect. Limited to 250 pieces, the watch houses the in-house, automatic L155 Caliber, visible behind a sapphire caseback, which is finely decorated and stores 50 hours of power.

Price: $56,500, Case Size: 40.5mm, Thickness: 11.1mm, Lug Width: 36mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 120 meters, Movement: Automatic Caliber L155.1

Bulova Lunar Pilot Apollo 15 EditionBulova Lunar Pilot Apollo 15 50th Anniversary Edition

In 2021, for the “golden anniversary” of the Apollo 15 mission during which astronaut Dave Scott wore a Bulova chronograph on the moon, Bulova issued a limited edition of its vintage-inspired Lunar Pilot model with a case made of grade 5 titanium, sporting gold-toned finishing on the bezel, crown and pushers, as well as a blue-tinted sapphire crystal. Golden details also enhance the dial, in the three subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, Bulova logo at 12 o’clock, and the central sweep seconds hand. The caseback sports a gilded finish and a commemorative relief engraving of an astronaut on the moon’s surface; inscribed into each caseback is text referencing the Apollo 15 50th anniversary, the date of the 1971 moon landing, and the watch’s individual limited number (out of 5,000 pieces made). Bulova’s high-frequency quartz Caliber NP20 does its duty behind the caseback, ticking at a super-accurate 262 Hz. 

Price: $995, Case Size: 45mm, Case Height: 13.5mm, Lug to Lug: 52mm, Lug Width: 20mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 50 meters, Movement: High-Frequency Quartz NP20

Oris Big Crown ProPilot X Kermit Edition

Oris Big Crown ProPilot X Kermit Edition

In 2023, Oris introduced an eye-catching and smile-inducing version of its 39mm ProPilot X developed in cooperation with Disney’s Muppets franchise. The ProPilot X Kermit Edition features a bright green, three-hand dial with a subtle yet playful addition in the date window: a smiling emoji of Kermit the Frog, which appears on the first day of every month — a date dubbed “Kermit Day” by Oris, meant to remind the wearer to “not take life so seriously.” The watch features the ProPilot family’s stylish, aviation-inspired details, like the coin-edge textured motif on the sides, designed to resemble a jet’s turbines, and the large, fluted, screw-down crown reminiscent of those on early pilots’ watches. Like its predecessors, the watch is equipped with Oris’ in-house Caliber 400, which among its various features includes a 120-hour (5-day) power reserve, an antimagnetic structure, and a COSC chronometer certification.

Price: $4,600, Case Size: 39mm, Thickness: 12mm, Lug to Lug: 46.9mm, Lug Width: 19mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 100 meters, Movement: Automatic Oris Caliber 400

Longines Spirit Titanium

Longines Spirit Titanium

Longines references its heritage as a provider of watches to adventurers and aviators of the early 20th century with the Spirit collection, which launched in 2020 with a design DNA derived from historical pilots’ watches. Originally issued in steel cases, the three-handed Spirit model added a titanium-cased version in 2022, distinguishing it further with a sleek anthracite dial. Like its big brothers, it has an oversized fluted crown, a stepped bezel and minute-scale flange, large Arabic hour numerals and diamond-shaped indexes, and large, luminous baton hands — all elements drawn from early 20th-century Longines pilots watches. A date window occupies the 6 o’clock position; above it is the row of five stars that the brand has historically used to denote its highest-quality movements, along with the “Chronometer” text that speaks to its COSC-certified accuracy.

Price: $2,750, Case Size: 40mm, Thickness: 12.2mm, Lug Width: 21mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 100 meters, Movement: Automatic Longines Caliber 888.4

Hublot Classic Fusion TitaniumHublot Classic Fusion Titanium

The Classic Fusion is Hublot’s subtler, more elegant alternative to its in-your-face Big Bang models, and also the model that pays the most faithful homage to the earliest Hublot watches of the 1980s. The sunray-blue-dialed, titanium-cased model is dressy but suitable for everyday wear, sporting hallmark Hublot details like the six visible H-shaped screws on the bezel, the stylized “H” counterweight on the central seconds hand, and the smoothly integrated lined blue rubber strap. The 42mm case packs the Sellita-based, self-winding HUB1110 movement rather than the in-house Unico caliber, powering a three-handed time display with a date.

Price: $7,600, Case Size: 42mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 50 meters, Movement: Automatic Caliber HUB1110, based on Sellita SW300-1

Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF

Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF

Chopard’s Alpine Eagle collection combines the design DNA of its first sports watch, the 1970s St. Moritz, with a modern, organically textured dial motif that evokes the iris of an eagle’s eye. Other avian touches include a seconds-hand counterweight in the shape of a feather, and a multi-textured finish on the case inspired by the sun falling on snow-capped glaciers. The Cadence 8HF model in a titanium case features an ultra-high-frequency in-house movement that achieves its impressive 57,600-vph (8 Hz) beat rate through the use of silicon for many of its high-friction parts. Perfectly matched with the tones of the brushed and polished titanium case is the unique “Vals Grey” dial color, which takes inspiration from an aerial view of alpine village rooftops. The 41mm case connects to an integrated bracelet, also made of titanium.

Price: $20,800, Case Size: 41mm, Thickness: 9.75mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 100 meters, Movement: Automatic Chopard Caliber 01.12-C

Panerai Luminor Bitempo New York Edition

Price: $12,700, Case Size: 44mm, Crystal: Sapphire, Water Resistance: 300 meters, Movement: Automatic Panerai Caliber P.9010

Panerai welcomed the dual-time BiTempo model to its flagship Luminor family in 2022. The BiTempo New York Edition, launched in 2023 to mark the opening of Panerai’s flagship Big Apple boutique, has a 44mm titanium DLC case and depicts two distinct time zones on its sandwich-style, matte-gray dial with luminous Arabic numerals. The central, arrow-pointed GMT hand is gilded in tone-on-tone gray to match the case, while running seconds are displayed on a subdial at 9 o’clock and the date appears at 3 o’clock. The patented Luminor crown guard has an engraved “New York'' on its lever, and an image of the Brooklyn Bridge appears on the solid caseback of this 212-piece limited edition. Inside, the self-winding Caliber P.9010/GMT stores a three-day power reserve in two barrels. The watch is mounted on a gray strap made mostly of recycled PET, speaking to Panerai’s initiatives to reduce its environmental impact.

I was actually surprised that Omega used Grade 2 Titanium. I say that because there is a brand out there, be it a smaller brand called Oceaneva that makes titanium watches with very deep ratings. They use grade 2 Titanium. I own one and I will say the value far exceeds the price IMO.

The Mido Ocean Star series with bracelets actually measure ~55 mm lug-to-lug because of the prominent centre attachments of the bracelet to the case; makes the watches wear more like 45ers. Such a shame.
Any suggestion for a new 38-40 mm automatic weekday & date, titanium diver with a [titanium, proper micro adjustment] bracelet? Christopher Ward and Tutima measure <42.5 mm. TechnoMarine and Reactor are an acquired taste I rather abstain from.
