I’m with you.
These days I have three mechanical titanium cased watches, two of which weight approximately 60-65g. That type of weight, like your Octo, brings something else to the table which for an everyday watch is very appealing. Interestingly for me both of these watches might be on the upper end of case size (actually my 3rd titanium watch is also), but the weight has swung the balance on whether they really work for me or not.
I would also add, in my earlier years of collecting I favored titanium for a different reason, because it didn’t catch the light (or attention) that a stainless steel watch did. For example, two of my first Panerai in the early 2000’s were Titanium for that very reason. I had found the steel cased PAM I had initially to be too shiny ! LOL

I have to agree with you on that my friend

I love my titanium Amvox. In particular I like that it appears to be a bulky and heavy watch but when you pick it up the low weight weight defies the visual appearance. At the other end of the spectrum I also love my Deepsea. I find the bulk and weight sa...
I second this
Fond memories of my titanium IWC 3536. I think that brand deserves the top place when it comes to that material: they have experience the most and for the longest time
I really enjoy the Octo Finissimo in titanium!
IN fact! I think I'll wear that watch today! Thank you for the reminder!
