Love for titanium
I wonder to what extent titanium contributed to the success of the Octo Finissimo.
The Octo was my first titanium watch and since then, I must say, I often look at watches made in this material.
I used to think the weight of platinum was such a nice feeling,
now I think this beautiful material is only perfect for smaller dress watches.
Since I bought a titanium G-Shock, I haven't worn the steel version anymore.
The wearing comfort makes such a difference to me. Am I exaggerating?
And I'm curious what you think about this.

I have to agree with you on that my friend
A Titanium watch is def one of the most comfortable ones to wear imho. I have watches in all kind of metals but also pref a titanium case
I agree that titanium is a great material.
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!
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 ...
