Titanium White

Titanium does not shine, and does not try to. It is the metal of instruments — chosen for what it does, not for how it looks doing it.

Built to be read, not admired.

Applied Arabic numerals on a silvered sunray ring, a white centre with a printed 24-hour scale, and a sky-blue chapter ring carrying the minute track and its luminous dots. Three zones, each with one job — and the date in a clean aperture at three o'clock. It is the layout of a field watch: nothing decorates, everything is there to be read in a glance, in daylight or in the dark.

Forty-four millimetres that weigh less than they look.

Case and bracelet in brushed titanium — close to half the weight of steel, with a matte, cool finish that ignores scratches and fingerprints alike. Twelve millimetres deep, a fluted crown that can be worked with gloves on, a screw-down caseback, and a folding clasp with push-button release. It is built the way an instrument is built: to be worn hard and looked at rarely.
