Best Titanium Watches Under 10k?
Looking to get a titanium piece and want to spend less than 10k out the door. Really like the new bond but think it might be too much of a trendy watch that won't look good down the line. Also like the IWC Pilot Heritage Mark 18 but the date window just seems to be in the wrong place.

What your favorite titanium watches?

Good suggestions all of them.

But op why titanium? For me it doesn't look good either in its polished or more grey form.

I want something I can forget is even on my wrist from time to time. I think titanium looks better than steel with its darker finish. Grand Seiko titanium looks a bit too much like steel to me.

Agree. However, I had titanium watches before and I eventually sold them all because the darker finish became boring to me after o few months of use. Let's see if the Pelagos survives...

I like the new NTTD Bond watch. Switch out the bracelet and put it on a casual calfskin strap.

Pelagos for sure! Ridiculous value for money and an adjustable clasp that everyone loves.

Best Titanium Watches Under 10k?
Another vote for Pelagos. You get a lot of watch for the money IMO.

right at the $10K- gently pre-loved, blue TI Blancpain fifty fathoms.



For between $3K and $6K IWC Aquatimer, either the regular chrono:


or the split minute version:
