Titanium is a metal and the chemical element (Ti) sometimes referred to as a “space age” metal. The advantages of Titanium is that it is strong, low density and resistant to corrosion. This makes Titanium a popular material for crafting watches that are designed to be used in sea-water environments such as certified Titanium dive watch.

Initially, making a watch out of titanium was not easy. The International Watch Company (IWC) were the first to refine the process of producing polished titanium that could be crafted into a practical watch case. IWC were the first to release a watch made entirely out of titanium, this product initially sold for $1300, but considering the revolutionary process at the time this was considered a bargain.

The trend would catch on and today every major watch maker has at least one titanium chronograph watch in their lines, although Citizen titanium watches are the most abundant, making up a large proportion of Citizen’s sports and diving analog timepieces.

Winding and Powering Mechanisms

The automatic titanium watch is a particularly interesting choice, the watch uses the kinetic movement of the wearer to wind itself, and so does away with the need for batteries or to wind the watch on a frequent basis. A kinetic titanium watch of this sort may be slightly less accurate than a Quarts watch, but not dramatically so. Another recent trend is that has – in particular been strongly adopted by the Citizen watch company is light-powered watches, that use solar power to recharge the battery and so vastly extend the life cycle of the watch.

Atomic Titanium Watch

Another interesting feature is the ability to link up with radio towers and synchronize the watch’s time. Atomic Titanium watches do just that. With one of these numbers you never need to worry about your watch losing the correct time.

Some would say that the wide popularity of the titanium wrist watch was inevitable. But lets summarize what makes using Titanium as a material so advantageous:

Strength

Titanium is more commonly seen in aeroplanes and in the aerospace industry. Titanium is a natural choice for watches that must be robust such as deep-sea diving watches.

Comfort

Titanium watches are exceptionally comfortable. It is a comforting factor that titanium is so light, especially when you consider Men’s sports watches that tend to be naturally large and bulky. Titanium is actually 50% lighter than steel and it is immediately noticable.

Hypoallergenic Properties

For those who suffer allergies, titanium has the property of being hypoallergenic. It contains no nickle meaning it will not cause any problems which only serves to increase the comfort of one of these timepieces.

Resistant To Corrosion

When exposed to the atmosphere, titanium forms a tight oxide film. This serves to protect it against corrosion – a problem suffered by other metals such as steel. The resistance to rust makes titanium an excellent choice for sports watches that are designed to be used in and around salt water environments.
