Titanium watches, by price

The field watch to buy at $95 if sapphire is not a condition. 40 mm, 11 mm thick, 50 m, mineral crystal, 20 mm lugs, Indiglo backlight, $95 on timex.com on the check date, sale and regular price the same. Timex publishes no lug-to-lug for any watch, so that column is a dash, and the case is brass with a titanium finish, not titanium. The Vaer S5 above is the alternative at $189: $94 more for sapphire, 50 m more water resistance and a second strap. Street prices at discounters are usually lower, but no discounter page was fetched, so the list price stands.

The floor of the ladder, and the entry with the least published about it: $185 buys a titanium case and a spec sheet made of pictures. Bertucci sells the A-2T direct at $185 in every band variant and its product page states, in text, only a 40 mm unibody titanium case, a fixed bezel and a quartz movement it does not name; the water rating, crystal, thickness, lug-to-lug and band width are shown as images and are not in the data here. The brand's lume wording is "Swiss Super-Luminous". The A-4T Super Yankee at $295 adds a low-battery indicator, and a search snippet gives it as 44 mm, which is not adopted. What the next $64 buys is a spec sheet, and an automatic.

The cheapest RZE and the only digital: $279 in BK, on pre-order at check with shipping stated as early September 2026, 42 mm case under a 43 mm bezel, 49.5 mm lug-to-lug, 13.4 mm thick, 200 m, sapphire, grade 2 titanium with UltraHex, shock resistant, on an elasticised fabric strap with a bracelet option; the CKT and CKO variants are $379. The module is RZE's own, on a CR2032 the maker rates at 3 years and more, with a lifetime guarantee on the module itself. Casio's G-Shock DW5600 at $99.95 is the digital for a third of the money, 200 m in resin at 48.9 mm; the RZE's $179 buys titanium, sapphire and the guarantee, and 0.6 mm more length.

The field watch to buy at $299 if the wrist is small: 44 mm lug-to-lug is the shortest of any automatic on this page. Titanium, Seiko NH38A no-date, 38 mm, 200 m, flat sapphire with anti-reflective coating and a BGW9 full-lume dial on 20 mm lugs. Boldr does not state the thickness on this listing, so the table shows a dash. The two Islanders at $249 are the alternative, $50 less, in steel, with 100 m; the Venture's 200 m is what separates them. The range runs $299 to $459, and the quartz Venture GMT at $299 was sold out in every dial. Boldr sells in drops, so the colour is the thing to verify before the price.

The fullest spec sheet under $500, and the price needs its caveat first: $389 on the check date, shown at 30 percent off, so the figure is a promotional snapshot. Grade 5 titanium and 300 m, which nothing else under the line has. 40 mm, 47.5 mm lug-to-lug, 13.1 mm thick, PT5000 automatic (a Sellita SW200 version is also offered), sapphire without a cyclops, a ceramic bezel, on a grade 5 titanium bracelet tapering from 20 to 16 mm with a grade 2 fly-adjust clasp. It sits in the Original Design collection, not the homage line. San Martin does not state where the watches are assembled beyond its Dongguan address; the Vaer D4 at $429 is the alternative that does.

The entry automatic, and the RZE to buy at $399 for a titanium field watch with every figure published: 38 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick, 100 m, sapphire with inner AR, Seiko NH35A, on HexaFlex rubber with a titanium bracelet optional, 60 g on the rubber by the maker's figure. Whistler White, Vervain Blue and Slate Grey are the same price. Boldr's Venture at $299 is the titanium field automatic for $100 less, 38 mm by 44 mm and 200 m on an NH38A, without a published thickness. The Valour gives the hardening, the 11 mm and the bracelet option; the Boldr gives 100 m more water and keeps $100.

The titanium automatic to buy at $429 if 50 mm lug-to-lug fits, and it is long for a 41 mm case. Renamed from Expedition North; the old URL is a 404. Titanium with a brushed black IP finish, 41 mm, 13.5 mm thick, 200 m, sapphire with anti-reflective coating, Super-LumiNova, 20 mm lugs, on leather (TW2Y90900). The fabric-strap sibling TW2V95300 is $419 and 12.5 mm thick, a timex.com exclusive. Timex calls the movement a Japanese automatic with 21 jewels and does not name it. It is the only Timex in the data that publishes a lug-to-lug. The same money buys the Vaer D4, solar, 4 mm shorter across the lugs and stated as USA assembled.

Sold out at check, listed at $495, and the only Brew whose case is not steel: titanium in a gun-metal tone, which the maker says is 40% lighter than steel, on a titanium bracelet, 36 mm, meca-quartz (VK68 by the Metric line's spec, not stated on this page). Thickness, water resistance and crystal are not in the feed text, and the table does not assume they match the steel Metric. The $20 over the Chromatik buys the material and, for now, a wait. RZE's Valour 38 at $399 is titanium with every figure published, 38 mm by 45 mm and 100 m, if titanium is the reason and a chronograph is not.

The pilot's watch of the range at $499: 39.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm thick, 100 m, Miyota 82S0 automatic behind a sapphire display back, UltraHex titanium, lume on the chapter ring, on black TecTuff leather with a Hex-Link titanium bracelet optional. Medallion Yellow and Polaris White are the same price. The 82S0 is from the older Miyota 8200 family rather than the 9000 series in the dearer Resolutes, and the $190 step up to the Resolute 36 is mostly that movement and 2 mm of thickness. Nodus's Sector II Pilot at $550 is the steel alternative, 38 mm by 47 mm with a day-date on a Seiko NH36; the RZE is titanium, 1 mm shorter and $51 less.

$625 buys the first small-batch maker and a hard-coated titanium case: 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Seiko NH38 no-date regulated to a stated plus or minus 10 seconds a day, 100 m, box sapphire with blue AR, grade 2 titanium with a 2000 HV coating, BGW9 Grade A, a titanium bracelet tapering 20 to 16 mm with Nodus's extension clasp. Designed and assembled in Los Angeles per the product page, 24-month transferable warranty. Marina and Sequoia are $625, the Cerakote Canopy, Dusk and FDE $600, Shale sold out; the steel Sector II Field is not in the catalogue and redirects to a waitlist. For $50 more the Hamilton is the same 47 mm, 2.2 mm thinner, hand-wound and steel. See the Nodus guide.

The thinnest RZE and the one for a small wrist, out of stock at check: $689, 36 mm, 42.3 mm lug-to-lug, 9.5 mm thick, 100 m, Miyota 9039, UltraHex titanium, on a titanium bracelet with the QUIKCLIQ deployant. At 42.3 mm it is the shortest automatic on this page by 2.7 mm and fits a 6-inch wrist. Lorier's Falcon at $699 is 36 mm by 44 mm and 8.8 mm on the same 9039 in steel; Traska's Commuter 36 at $690 is 36.5 mm by 44 mm and 10.5 mm in hardened steel. The RZE is 1.7 mm shorter than either and the only titanium of the 3; the Lorier is 0.7 mm thinner.

The RZE with the movement that justifies the money, sold out at check: $699 (or $719 with a pouch), 41 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick, 100 m, Miyota 9075 true GMT, sapphire with inner Super-AR, BGW9 sandwich dial, UltraHex titanium on a titanium bracelet with the QUIKCLIQ deployant. A true GMT jumps the local hour and holds home time on the 24-hour hand; the GMT list explains why that costs more than a caller. Islander's Republic Traveler at $595 runs the same 9075 in steel with 200 m; Lorier's Hyperion at $799 is 39 mm by 46 mm and 10.7 mm. The RZE is the titanium one and, at check, the one you cannot buy.

Not orderable on the check date, and listed because the price is real and the batch model is what to understand first. Halios sells in pre-order batches that close; the December and January batch had, with delivery estimated for late December 2026 or early January 2027. Titanium only in this generation: 40 mm with a fixed bezel, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.4 mm thick, Sellita SW200-2 no-date, 200 m, double-domed sapphire, $765 on rubber or $930 on the titanium bracelet. The rotating-bezel version is 41 mm at $805 and $970. Assembled and shipped from Vancouver per the brand. The Formex Field at $975 is the titanium Sellita alternative; the Halios's trade is the wait. The Halios guide explains the ordering model.

The most expensive RZE, and the one where the dial is the price: $779, 40 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 10.5 mm thick, 100 m, Miyota 90S5, UltraHex titanium rated by the maker at about 1,200 Hv, on a titanium bracelet with QUIKCLIQ deployant and on-the-fly micro-adjust. The White Enamel is a heated-enamel dial and was out of stock at check; 4 other dials were in stock on the feed at the same price. Formex's Field Automatic 40 at $975 is the titanium field watch above it, 40 mm by 46.6 mm and 10.6 mm on a Sellita SW200-2 with 150 m; the RZE is $196 less for a Japanese movement and an enamel dial.

$805 buys the only Swiss-movement titanium diver on the list, if the batch is open, and on the check date it was not. 41 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.4 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW200-2 no-date with a stated 65-hour reserve, 200 m, double-domed sapphire, a 120-click bezel with a sapphire insert in an elapsed-time or 12-hour scale, $805 on rubber or $970 with the titanium bracelet. The 40 mm fixed-bezel version is $765. Halios sells in batches and assembles in Vancouver; the December and January batch was closed with delivery estimated for late December 2026 or early January 2027. For $6 less the Boldr is Swiss too, 500 m and 5.5 mm longer. The Halios guide explains the ordering cycle.

The only Baltic rated past 200 m, and at €730 the one to buy if the rating matters more than the diameter. 41 mm across, 47 mm lug to lug, 13.3 mm thick, 300 m, Miyota 9039, unidirectional 120-click brushed ceramic bezel, Super-LumiNova BGW9, in Blue or Black on FKM rubber Sport; the brand states 55 g for the case and no grade. It is the widest case in the range by 1.5 mm, yet at 47 mm lug to lug it is no longer than the 39 mm steel divers. The alternative for €100 less is the MK2 39.5 mm at 200 m in steel. The trade is 100 m against 1.5 mm of case.

The only small maker on the list stating Swiss assembly, and the titanium watch to buy at $975 for it: Formex, Biel, says the Field is designed, developed and assembled at its headquarters. 40 mm, 46.6 mm lug-to-lug, 10.6 mm thick, grade 2 titanium hard-coated to 900 HV, Sellita SW200-2 Power+ with a 65-hour reserve, 150 m, sapphire front and back, on velcro or leather (CHF 750 to 895 in the store's own pricing). Not COSC-certified, no Case Suspension System; the Essence line from $1,890 has both. On pre-order, shipping mid-November 2026. Warranty three years. The Halios Seaforth IV at $930 on its bracelet is the titanium Sellita alternative, 200 m, from a closed batch. Details in the Formex guide.

$350 over the steel Khaki Field Auto 42 for titanium, and the same everything else: H-10, 80 hours, 100 m, sapphire. 42 mm, 11.45 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, on leather, $1,195; the black PVD bracelet reference showed no price on the US page. Hamilton publishes no lug-to-lug for the titanium where it publishes 53 mm for the steel, so a lighter case comes with a blank column. The Formex Field at $975 on the under-$1,000 list is the titanium alternative: hard-coated to 900 HV, a Sellita, 150 m, 46.6 mm lug-to-lug, Swiss assembled, $220 less. The Hamilton's trade is the name against a maker that publishes the numbers.

The thinnest Baltic at 9.2 mm and, from €990, the first with a Swiss movement. 36 mm across, 44 mm lug to lug, ETA/Peseux 7001 hand-wound, 30 m, double-domed sapphire, a case of 316L steel and grade 5 titanium polished above and circular-brushed below, on Italian calf leather or a steel mesh bracelet, in Salmon, Purple or Green (Grey Blue was out of stock at check). No lume is listed. The alternative for €445 less is the MR Classic, the same 36 mm by 44 mm footprint, 0.7 mm thicker, under hesalite, on a micro-rotor automatic. The trade for going Swiss is winding it yourself, and 30 m means keeping it dry.

The diver, and at $1,370 (£1,250) the only Farer rated past 200 m. 41.5 mm grade 2 titanium, 45 mm lug to lug, 12.5 mm thick, 300 m, an internal unidirectional bezel driven by twin compressor crowns, La Joux-Perret G101, a 2.2 mm double-domed sapphire in front and 1.6 mm of sapphire behind, on natural rubber with a titanium buckle. Sold out at check, though the Hecla Hunter Green at the same price was in stock. The alternative on the same movement is the Resolute at $150 less, in steel at 100 m. The trade is the bracelet: titanium, and £245 extra.

The titanium pilot with the shortest lug-to-lug on the page after the Serica Parade: 43 mm on a 40 mm case. 10.9 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW300-1 Elaboré, 100 m, domed sapphire with a five-layer inner AR, Grade X2 Super-LumiNova, grade 2 titanium with a burnished brown PVD, on suede or leather, $1,525 (£1,350). The Curtis and Hewlett are the same line at the same price. Designed in London, Swiss made per the brand. The Lander IV GMT at $1,575 (39.5 mm, 45 mm, 11.3 mm, SW330-2 Top Grade) was sold out with a return listed for spring 2027; $50 more would have bought the second time zone, had Farer any to sell.

The stone-dial Prismic is a different watch rather than a dial option: the movement changes to a La Joux-Perret D100 hand-wound and the price to €1,450 for the Pietersite, €1,300 for the other stone dials. The case is the base Prismic's, 36 mm, 44 mm lug to lug, 9.2 mm thick, steel and grade 5 titanium, 30 m, double-domed sapphire, on a brushed steel mesh bracelet. The alternative at close to the money is Farer's Solander, the same D100 at $1,295 (£1,150) in a 38 mm case 1.25 mm thinner. The trade against the €990 Prismic is €460 for the stone and the calibre; the size and the rating do not move.

The entry to the high-end tier and the odd one out on lug width: 24 mm, against 20 mm on every other Zelos. 40 mm, 45.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.2 mm thick, 50 m, a skeletonised Marvin 700 hand-wound under box sapphire, a sandblasted titanium case with a white Cerakote mid-case, on FKM rubber with a titanium buckle, $1,899. Sold out; the Mokume and Damascus versions were $2,499 and also gone. The Skyraider 40 Skeleton at $2,499 is the same movement in tantalum on a 20 mm lug, 0.3 mm thinner; the $600 is the metal. At 50 m this is a dress watch in a sports case, and the rubber strap should not persuade anyone otherwise.

The only automatic in the high-end tier and the only one rated past 50 m: a Sellita SW300 with a TT651 module giving a grande date, a GMT hand and a 24-hour subdial, in titanium hardened to 1,200 Hv, 40 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 10 mm without the crystal, 100 m, screw-down crown, on a hardened titanium bracelet with a quick-adjust clasp, $2,199. Muonionalusta meteorite dial; the Gunmetal is the same price. Sold out. The Serica 8315 GMT at $2,450 is a certified chronometer at 200 m; the Farer Lander IV at $1,575 is a Sellita GMT at 45 mm lug-to-lug for $624 less, and was also sold out. The Spearfish's argument is the module and the metal.

The one non-mechanical entry, here because Seiko publishes the full sheet where several mechanical rivals on this page do not. 41.2 mm, 48.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick, Seiko 3X62 GPS solar, 100 m, sapphire, titanium with Seiko's super-hard coating, LumiBrite on hands and indexes, $2,200. No lug width is published. It is the entry-level Astron; the range runs $2,200 to $3,300 on the US site per a search snippet. The Grand Seiko SBGX261 quartz at 37 mm is the watch most people weigh it against, and it is $2,700 on the live page, over the line, against $2,300 in Grand Seiko's own November 2024 price list. The Astron is the one that sets itself; the Grand Seiko is the one with the name.

$2,295 on the titanium bracelet, read from Christopher Ward's listing page in a browser because its product pages could not be read, so the table carries dashes for everything but the 40 mm and the 12-sided, triple-finished bezel. The movement is the Sellita SW200-1 the range uses, not a figure from the page. The steel Twelve 40 at $1,495 on the under-$1,500 list is the same design with a read sheet: 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 9.95 mm, 100 m, for $800 less. The titanium buys the material and nothing this site can read. Until the product page loads, the steel is the one this site can vouch for.

The steel Jan Mayen in grade 5 titanium, bead-blasted with polished accents, listed at NOK 32,000; the feed runs NOK 27,000 to 32,000 by band and prices the titanium bracelet at NOK 10,350 on its own. 38.7 mm, 45.7 mm lug to lug, 11.5 mm thick, 100 m, La Joux-Perret G101 without a date, 68 hours, on 24.8/18 mm FKM rubber. Ships December 2026. The Time+Tide, TRTS and Fratello titanium editions run NOK 28,000 to 32,000 on the same case. The Frozen Metal is this watch with the frosted dial for NOK 1,500 more on the bracelet; the steel Jan Mayen is the same sheet for NOK 6,500 less.

Swiss Made and designed in Oslo, on a La Joux-Perret G101 in Soigné grade with 68 hours, and the craft claim is a dial the brand does not say who makes. The Frozen Metal is bead-blasted grade 5 titanium, 38.7 mm, 45.7 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm thick, 100 m, with a galvanic frosted reverse-fumé dial, NOK 33,500 on the titanium bracelet (29,500 on rubber), on pre-order with shipping stated for December 2026. The current floor is the Jan Mayen in steel on rubber at NOK 23,750; the ceiling across launch editions is NOK 35,000. Straum's stamped landscape dials and basalt and bog-root editions are the case for a craft score, and the unnamed maker is what holds it here. Two-year warranty. Sold direct and through Time+Tide and Windup.

The field watch of the range and the only Straum with a date: NOK 31,000 on FKM rubber, NOK 35,000 with the grade 5 titanium bracelet per the feed, limited to 200, ships March 2027. 38.2 mm, 45.7 mm lug to lug, 11 mm thick, 100 m, in hardened grade 5 titanium with an enlarged screw-down crown and a stepped fixed bezel, La Joux-Perret G100 with 68 hours, BGW9 cast lume. White Lume and Titanium Gray dials cost the same. Against the Jan Mayen Titanium it is 0.5 mm smaller, 0.5 mm thinner, hardened, dated and NOK 1,000 cheaper as listed; the trade is a ship date 3 months later and the cap of 200.

A COSC GMT rated to 300 m for $3,499, and the thickest entry here at 14 mm. 40 mm, 47.8 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, RR1203-C automatic GMT, titanium, AR sapphire, bidirectional ceramic bezel with Super-LumiNova, 28 micro gas tubes for the lume, with import duties included when the page is read from a US address (£2,920 from the UK; the site prices by location). The Marvelight at $2,549 (40 mm, 46.6 mm, 12.45 mm, 100 m, RR1103-C COSC, 904L steel, mu-metal shield, 14 gas tubes) is Ball's three-hander. Against the Longines Spirit Zulu Time at $3,550: 200 m deeper, a stated certificate and a published thickness, for less money. The 14 mm is the trade.

Marc Newson's 1994 pebble case, relaunched in 2018, ranked on its Swiss tier and marked down for the other one. The Horopod is a 44 mm lugless titanium case, listed as 44 mm lug-to-lug and described as wearing like 41 mm, on a new-old-stock ETA 2824, EUR 3,190 on the maker's site across six references; thickness, crystal and water resistance are not published. The Hemipod chronograph tops the range at EUR 5,900. Ikepod's own history page discloses two tiers: Horopod, Skypod and Hemipod in titanium with ETA calibres made in Switzerland, and the EUR 690 to 790 Chronopod, Duopod and Seapod assembled in Hong Kong on Miyota, Seiko VK63 and quartz movements. Warranty two years. Stock plus runs of 30 to 111.

The ceramic diver from a big name, $4,600 on the US e-shop, and the page read gave no water-resistance figure, crystal or lug width, so a dive watch sits here with a dash in the WR column. 43 mm, 14.6 mm thick, Rado R734 automatic with a Nivachron hairspring and 80 hours, high-tech ceramic monobloc case with steel and titanium PVD elements, rotating ceramic bezel with Super-LumiNova. The Formex Essence Ceramica above is $910 less, 2 mm smaller, 3.4 mm thinner, COSC and rated to 100 m on its page. The Rado is the bigger name and the thicker watch; the Formex is the one with numbers in every cell.

The other Calibre 400 under the line, and the titanium one: $4,800 on the integrated titanium bracelet. 39 mm, 20 mm lugs, 100 m, Oris's own five-day automatic, sapphire domed on both sides with AR inside, fixed bezel, multi-piece titanium case; the laser-dial version is $5,750 and over the line. Oris gives no thickness or lug-to-lug. The Divers Sixty-Five Calibre 400 above has the same movement at $4,100, $700 less, in steel with a rotating bezel. The Tudor Ranger 39 at $4,025 is the certified in-house alternative at $775 less, with a stated 12 mm. The $700 over the Sixty-Five buys the titanium and the integrated case.

The chiming watch, and $5 under the line on leather: $4,995 for the C1 Bel Canto Classic in Grade 5 titanium, $5,340 on the Bader bracelet and over. 41 mm, CW FS01 automatic, a Sellita SW200-1 base carrying Christopher Ward's hourly sonnerie au passage module. The listing page gave no thickness, lug-to-lug, water resistance or crystal. The original non-Classic Bel Canto launched at $3,595 per the brand; no current listing was found. The NOMOS Tangente 41 above is $125 less and prints every dimension; nothing else under $5,000 on this site strikes the hour. That is the entire case for it.

The cheapest Tudor over $5,000 and the one Tudor that publishes a lug-to-lug: 52 mm on a 42 mm case, 12.75 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, 200 m, the MT5602 with COSC and about 70 hours, titanium with fixed strap bars and a steel case back, a bidirectional ceramic bezel with a 60-minute retrograde scale, $5,025 on the navy fabric strap. The bars are fixed, so no bracelet. Against the Pelagos 39 at $5,625 it is $600 less, 3 mm wider and 0.95 mm thicker, and its 52 mm is 2.6 mm longer than the NOMOS world timer's, the longest in the ranked list. Measure before buying.

CHF 4,200 before taxes, 100 pieces for 2026, sold out on the check date. A 38 mm diver in stonewashed grade 23 titanium, 46.2 mm lug-to-lug, 11.2 mm thick (8.9 mm without the crystal), 300 m, on Laventure's Calibre 4, a Sellita SW300-1 base with COSC and 56 hours. The crystal is Plexiglass in a chimney profile and the bezel is fixed, which makes it a 300 m watch with no elapsed-time scale; the dimensions are Monochrome's, not the maker's. Against the Tudor Pelagos 39 above: 1 mm smaller, 0.6 mm thinner, 100 m deeper, and a run that closed. The fixed bezel and the acrylic are the trade.

The Tudor to buy under $6,000 if titanium and 11.8 mm matter more than a second certificate. $5,625 at Exquisite Timepieces, a US authorised dealer, for 39 mm, 11.8 mm thick, 21 mm lugs, 200 m, the MT5400 with COSC and about 70 hours, grade 2 titanium with a ceramic bezel insert and monobloc ceramic-composite markers. No lug-to-lug published. The Black Bay 58 above is $275 less in steel with COSC and METAS; the Pelagos answers with titanium and 0.1 mm more thickness. The 21 mm lug width is the trade. Strap choice narrows, and Tudor's own bracelet is the sensible answer.

CHF 5,500 before taxes on the bracelet, sold out and on a waitlist on the check date. A 38 mm GMT in grade 2 titanium, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.6 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 300 m, domed sapphire front and back, a sapphire dial with X1 lume, the 24-hour scale an internal bidirectional ring rather than a bezel, a Sellita SW330.M2 for MING with about 50 hours. The shortest lug-to-lug on the page, 0.95 mm under the Formex Aria, and 5.7 mm thicker than it. Against the Grand Seiko SBGE285: 3 mm smaller, 3.8 mm shorter, 200 m deeper, and no page on which to buy it today.

Spring Drive in titanium at $6,900 on grand-seiko.com/us-en, and the one Grand Seiko here that older lists still price correctly. 41 mm, 49 mm lug-to-lug, 12.5 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 100 m, 9R65 Spring Drive with self-winding and manual winding, dual-curved sapphire with AR inside, High-Intensity Titanium. Lume is not stated on the page. The mechanical alternative from the same maker is the Hi-Beat SBGH347 at $7,300 (37 mm, 44.6 mm, 13.3 mm, 19 mm lugs, 9S85 at 36,000 vph, Ever-Brilliant Steel), 4 mm smaller and 0.8 mm thicker. The Spring Drive GMT SBGE285 at $8,900 (41 mm, 48.3 mm, 13.9 mm, titanium, 9R66) adds the second zone for $2,000. The 49 mm lug-to-lug is the figure to check on 41 mm.

The top of the range at €5,900, marked last items: 44 mm titanium, Swiss made, a Swiss automatic chronograph, ETA 7750 on the day-date variants, on a rubber pin strap, said to wear as 41 mm. The Hemipod Day Date on the 7750 is €5,400 and out of stock. Thickness, crystal and water resistance are not stated.

The difference in price is the metal and the shape.

The only microbrand under $10,000 in this site's data, and it is sold out: the Founder's Edition ran 100 numbered pieces across three dials.

At 48 mm it is the longest Sartory-Billard by 1 mm over the SB06.

First on the first criterion alone: the SBTV01 is a flying tourbillon made with Comblemine for Sartory-Billard, and nothing else on this page has a movement of its own at that level. 3 Hz, 96 hours of reserve, 209 parts, in a 41 mm case 47 mm lug-to-lug and 9.5 mm thick, 50 m, in steel, titanium, gold, platinum or tantalum.

Finished and assembled in France; dials designed and finished in-house. The site does not state a warranty term, which is worth asking about before the deposit.

The reference point above everything else, and a row whose figure needs a caveat: the Series 2 page shows no price, and the CHF 43,500 in the table is the Series 3 figure from a search result, not fetched from the maker. Agenhor's Agengraphe Cal. 6361.M1, a manual-winding chronograph, in a 34-part grade 5 titanium case, 41.5 mm, 14.2 mm thick, 22 mm lug, 50 m, with HyCeram lume filling the dial. Lug-to-lug is not published; the run is sold out and will not be repeated. Formex's Aria is $7,900 on the FX01 manufacture micro-rotor at 40 mm and 6.9 mm; Breitling's Navitimer B01 is $10,300 at 41 mm. Neither is an Agengraphe, and that is the argument.
