Although not widely popular yet, titanium's lightweighted and corrosion resistant properties makes it a solid choice for an everyday watch. Here are some of our top titanium watch picks.
1. Nivada Grenchen F77 Meteorite
Blend the old and the new with this reissue of this Nivada Grenchen classic, the F77. It's a fun and sporty timepiece powered by the SOPROD P024, hosting a 38 hour power reserve.
The titanium case allows for a watch that weighs just 86gm, which is three times lighter than the stainless steel variation. Coming in at 37mm - it is a great goldilocks size for an integrated bracelet design. These meteorite dials will be unique to the watch, and no one watch's dial will look the same as another. This also comes with an Anthracite dial option.
2. Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Auto
As a brand that already makes iconic field watches, Hamilton's Khaki Field Titanium Auto is a versatile choice that packs a serious visual punch.
Our favourite is this 42mm blue dial version with a titanium case and a brushed titanium bracelet. It contains the Hamilton H-10 movement that is visible through its open caseback - allowing for its impressive 80 hour power reserve movement to be showcased. It also has a Nivachron balance spring for magnetic and shock resistance.
Thanks to its rugged form and versatile look, you can wear the watch anywhere and everywhere, including the pool; the watch has water resistance of 100m. These come in other colour variations, and is also available in a 38mm case.
3. Mido Ocean Star 200C Tribute Titanium
With a case diameter of 42.5mm and water resistance of 200m, the Ocean Star 200C Tribute Titanium is a robust diving watch you can count on. It runs on an ETA-based movement, the Mido Caliber 80.
The white Super-LumiNova indices and semi-skeletonised hands placed on a textured, matte black dial give the watch a bold look that's offset by the black ceramic bezel and the silver-grey titanium bracelet.
If you're willing to go for a different watch material, you'd have a handful of dial options to pick from, including blue and green.
4. G-SHOCK MRGB5000D-1D
If you’re in the market for a “stealth wealth” watch, may we introduce you to the MRGB5000? This reissue of the first ever G-Shock (the DW5000C) stays true to the original design and function. We have shown a silver version here, but the watch is also available in black.
The case, bezel, and band are all made of extra-tough titanium alloys. Enclosing the digital display is an octagonal brick frame bordered in red, which is a clear nod to the original.
You can operate the watch from your phone thanks to Bluetooth connectivity. The watch also has Tough Solar charging and the usual G-Shock functions (stopwatch, alarms, time zones, etc.)
5. Hamilton Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO Auto Titanium
If you’re into deep sea exploration, the Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO is ready to be your trusty sidekick with its whopping water resistance of 1000m. Did you know that it has appeared on the wrists of Hollywood stars Matt Damon (in The Martian) and Dwayne Johnson (in Central Intelligence)?
The watch is a 46mm self-winding affair fitted with a helium escape valve, and is powered by Hamilton's H-10 movement, which promises an 80-hour power reserve.
In the variant displayed here, a black PVD-treated titanium case pairs with a black rubber strap. The caseback displays a special diving mask.
6. G-SHOCK MRGB2000D-1A
Let your wrist do the talking with this one-of-a-kind timepiece that delivers both beauty and power.
The solar-powered MRG-B2000 comes with a textured black dial set in a titanium case. It features a sapphire crystal with glare-resistant coating, radio-controlled calibration, and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s also fitted with a gold-plated retainer plate to reduce electrical resistance.
Of course, you also get the features that are packed into every single G-Shock—shock resistance, water resistance of 200m, daily alarm, stopwatch, countdown timer, auto calendar, etc.
7. Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium x Engineered Garments
This 36mm take on Hamilton’s bestselling Khaki Field watch is the result of their collaboration with New York based fashion brand Engineered Garments. Its production is limited to 1999 pieces to mark the brand’s founding year.
With a high-contrast SuperLumiNova-treated dial and 100m water resistance, the piece retains the field watch vibe you have come to expect from a Khaki Field and adds it to a lightweight package made of titanium. Hamilton’s H-10 movement with a power reserve of 80 hours runs the show from the partially open caseback.
If you want a small(ish) lightweight time-only watch you can count on come rain or shine, this take on the OG field watch is the perfect choice.
