Titoni is so underrated. The 38-39mm cushion style Airmasters are so beautifully vintage. In my opinion, Titoni, Rado and Omega have some of the most beautiful vintage pieces and the cushion style Titoni Airmasters are probably the last of the vintage styled (not oversized, simple movement and reasonably priced) watches that one can still buy.
Thank you, Bruce, for an excellent review. I picked up the two-tone version of the Seascoper, Reference 83600-SY-BK-256, a couple of years ago and have been extremely pleased with the watch in every respect. Ironically, Titoni was the brand that got me started into watch collecting back in the 80's and my old Airmaster is still going strong ! Just a great company to work with and an outstanding value IMHO. Thanks very much. Greg
Hello as an owner do you know if the t10 movement is essily serviceable by any chance or you have to be sending it direct to titoni for servicing, im considering this watch but the concern about serviceability is what's refraining me considering I live somewhere where its hard to really ship watches safely and cheaply back to a manufacturer in europe for servicing
Finally! I have that Model. Best Diver you can get by far for the money. Oris, Longines and others are no match. Same league as a Tudor Black Bay, only better looking, IMO.
Love Titoni. Definitely unsung in US. I have a Seascoper and an Airmaster. Both are highly accurate and well finished pieces. Great value for money indeed.
Ah sorry I normally always mention them but I must have forgot here. They are 41.9mm diameter, 52.0mm lug to lug, 13.9mm height, 20mm lugs and 18mm at the clasp
For a company with a history of 100 years, it's so hard for me to accept the fact that a model that is supposed to represent them, looks like a mix of several different watches (Rolex and Longines in this case). I don't see any original element in it, except maybe the hands. When I wear a watch, I don't want people to think it's a Rolex and find out it's not, I want them to see the original character of the watch I'm wearing.
Thank you Bruce for this review! I’ve had my eye on the Titoni Seascoper 300- similar, but has a simpler design without numerals on the dial or bezel and a COSC Sellita, for less money. Its high on my list for a black diver at or less than $2k. I’d also love to see you review the new Seiko diver gmt spb383. I know you’re a Seikopath!
@@cmbezln i feel that the quality of the bracelet is somewhat a little lagging behind compared to the watch itself. I m not saying it feels cheap or what but just feels a tad less high quality. But the micro adjustment on the clasp is well implemented. jus dun expect the bracelet to have that luxurious feel of watches in the 3k to 6k range. However, in its price range, the quality of the bracelet is adequate & pretty comfy.
Looks better than a Hydro Conquest, which has similar markers. Agreed that the date placement is perfect, but I think they could attempt to slim the case down in thickness.
I have admired Titoni since around 2003, Reto used to sell them in the Poor Man's Watch Forum shop, yes, that is a sad story in itself, but that is where I first learned of them, nice review of a very nice watch.
Been eyeing Titoni divers for a while but I need them to make a 39mm with a slimmer case. That would be a winner and a serious competition to other high-end watches costing 2x more
Well, you’d think in over a hundred years of existence they’d have come up with something a bit more original than an affordable Sub in every colour. I wanna root for the underdog but we’re really aiming as low as possible here
I own this piece for 2 yrs and I can assure you it surpasses all of the brands you mentioned, technically and in finishing. The on-the-fly adjustment clasp alone is unparalleled and only found in higher end brands for instance GO. Their manufactured movement is solid and its winding action is buttery smooth, not to say it's decently decorated. None of the brands in your list comes close to it quality-wise. As a side note I only have a small collection of 30 pieces ranging from Seiko/Chinese knockoffs to Cartier/Rolex, so pls take my humble opinion only as an additional piece of reference to Bruce's review. Cheers.
been waiting for a Totoni review on ANY channel for FOREVER!
Glad to help!

Tudor is trash 😂😂😂
@@SIZZO76 What are you trying to say?
@@sadaka201 Tudor is a poor man’s Rolex and it is overrated 😂😂😂
@@SIZZO76 Tudor is ok but as said not my style. I prefer the big brother. Got 3 pieces.
@@sadaka201 I do to. Rolex is king 👑

As you said Bruce, looks very much like a Sea Dweller and the build quality ist top, and with the best clasp in the game. It's a winner!!
If the Hydro Conquest and Pelagos 39 had a love child 😂
So true
Hey Bruce, why no details regarding the specs? Diameter, lug width, lug to lug? You used to measure those yourself and it was really helpful
Ah sorry I normally always mention them but I must have forgot here. They are 41.9mm diameter, 52.0mm lug to lug, 13.9mm height, 20mm lugs and 18mm at the clasp
@@BruceWilliams thanks 👍

I really like this watch. Thanks for the review. What would be the best way to purchase here in US?
Exquisite Timepieces.
“Objectively better than a lot” you mentioned?! Which ones, Bruce? I can’t be the only one waiting for the other shoe to drop…. :)

That I am haha. Agreed the 300 looks great too
I rec’d my seascoper 300 about 2 weeks ago & couldn’t stop wearing it. What a beautiful watch & its accuracy is astounding.

The Seascoper 300 does have a slimmer case, gets rid of the helium escape valve and has COSC Sellita instead of the larger in house movement
True the 300 is the slimer watch. I think the 600 is fine with height considering it's water resistance
I would love to see a comparison between this piece and the Mido ocean star 600!
Hey Bruce. I think you should do a review of the new longines conquest GMT.
Ill see what I can do
I own a Titoni master series in a chocolate fume dial .It’s got a chronometer certification and I got all of this at 1200 USD
I have admired Titoni since around 2003, Reto used to sell them in the Poor Man's Watch Forum shop, yes, that is a sad story in itself, but that is where I first learned of them, nice review of a very nice watch.
Thank you
How heavy is this watch?
My dad just gave me his Titoni cosmo king from the 1980s. 😁
Im a big fan of this brand. Im sure if they got a few high profile reviews their brand awareness would rocket.
The watch is not bad and I would support independent watch maker like Oris and Titoni. I don't like Rolex style watch but still buy one for swimming.
Longines just released HydroCon GMT. It’s becoming progressively harder to justify seeking the Rolex Sub…
I have a Titoni impetus. It is magnificent, and it was under $1000.
Been eyeing Titoni divers for a while but I need them to make a 39mm with a slimmer case. That would be a winner and a serious competition to other high-end watches costing 2x more
Check out the Seascoper 300
Gorgeous!!!
This brand is really famous in china, the 1st swiss brand in china back in the days.
Many thanks Bruce for opening my mind .
Great episode
Nizar-Israel
I’ve had my eye on this one for a while! I was hoping they’d stay under the radar to let me pick up a pre-owned bargain! 😂
Very nice watch! 👍
Well, you’d think in over a hundred years of existence they’d have come up with something a bit more original than an affordable Sub in every colour. I wanna root for the underdog but we’re really aiming as low as possible here
Never seen anyone ever wearing this brand
Looks like they use a MontBlanc logo.
It's called a plum blossom
I don’t see originality when I look at this watch. You have to dig deep. The watches you used for comparison are far more original to me.
A very nice watch but the name it' just doesn't sound like a luxury watch more like a name for a Italian scooter titoni 125
Its a Longines, its a Rolex, no its a Longines no its a Rolex! Very nice mismash of a few popular watches so its a no.
Overpriced and unoriginal in my opinion, rather go look for some originality at Christopher ward, Monta, Baltic, Zelos, Longines, Otris, Farer

None of the watches you rattled off are original either. Lol....
The lug to lug is too long, deal breaker for me
copy of Longines for a price of Longines ...
!!!!!!!!!!!
I think too pricey and to much bulky.
Haha, you habe no clue dude!
