Swiss Titanium Watches & Our Recommendations

Swiss Titanium watches are the ultimate in style, class, and sophistication. These desirable and designer watches come with a variety of design quirks and styles, but all speak volumes in terms of the quality craftsmanship involved in their manufacture.

If you are looking for a durable watch, then titanium is a good choice, as it is very hardwearing. A high quality watch will include an automatic date calendar, a scratch resistant crystal, and a screw-in crown and case-back for water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet). There are many reasons why people buy titanium watches, but the most popular are for aesthetic reasons and for status level.

A titanium watch is subtle and unobtrusive in its level of sophistication, and doesn’t feel the need to ‘shout’ as do other, more flashy watches, such as gold timepieces. If you are looking for a watch that has traditional style, then the Swiss titanium watches is for you.

When purchasing a Swiss titanium timepiece, you should look for a watch that has a variety of functions to compliment its aesthetic design. A stopwatch and/or chronograph function is always desirable, as is a tachymeter (a surveying instrument used for the rapid determination of distances, elevations, and bearings), an alarm, and a date window.

Our Recommendation
The titanium watch market is a large one, so it can be easy to get overwhelmed by all the choice. Let us help you along the way. One of our favourite is the Titanium A by Swiss company Picard & Cie. This model includes, amongst other things, hours, minutes, and sweep seconds hands, a stopwatch, chronograph functions, and a tachymeter. In addition to this, it has a date window between four and five o'clock and luminous hands and markers. This watch can be purchased second hand for around $1700.

If you are the sporting type, then there is a titanium watch available to suit your needs, check out Tissot watches which are of good quality and yet are reasonably priced.

Another high quality watch can be purchased from the infamous Swiss company Wenger. Their Field Issue Titanium Army watch has dual time zones, is waterproof up to 50 meters, and has a solid titanium bracelet. This stunning timepiece retails for around $275, but can be picked up for about $150 if you look in the right places. Yet another good choice is the Carrera Ladies Titanium Swiss quartz movement watch. This feminine timepiece has a black, carbon fibre dial, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and is impermeable up to 200 meters.

As always though, the cream of the crop in the titanium watch world, in my opinion, is reserved for the Tag Heuer. Their Kirium Ti5 Men’s Titanium Watch is a bold and innovative timepiece, which retails for around $2400. The price may be steep, but the quality is unparalleled. Complete with a case made of polished Grade 5 Titanium, this elegant sports watch speaks volumes about its owner.

Not only that, but its polished, unidirectional rotating titanium bezel with engraved markers oozes with class and sophistication, and the carbon fibre dial with luminous hands and hour markers only adds to the effect.
