My favorites have all seen the steel case make way for a grade 5 titanium with a micro-blasted finish. In particular, the A384 case had received a multitude of makeovers. The Chronomaster Revival line has seen some fantastic takes on old vintage silhouettes. I love what Zenith has been doing over the last year or so. The icing on the cake was the flashes of gold accenting the hands, hour markers, winged logo, and the stars. By removing the date for the titanium Spirit, Longines instantly corrected its biggest criticism. Now I’m not calling the date on the steel Longines Spirit an eyesore, but it’s not in perfect harmony with the rest of the dial.
That said, the date has to integrate with the dial design well, or it quickly becomes an eyesore. I like a simple date complication, as I refer to it frequently. Apart from the fact I love my Oris, when I saw Longines release the titanium-clad Spirit, I knew I was glad I’d waited.įor me, the Longines Spirit Titanium righted a few of the smaller things I wasn’t so keen on with the stainless steel versions. I’ve previously mentioned that when I got my Fratelloris, I had also considered a Longines Spirit. Well, to those people, I hope you feel justified because here we go - The Longines Spirit Titanium. However, in the comments, a few people were aggrieved that I’d gone for the Avigation BigEye Titanium rather than a model from the Spirit collection. I chose a Longines watch in my recent article about my top pilot’s watches. Perfect for those wintery walks, no? OK, let’s take a look at my picks! Why the winter months? Another benefit of titanium is that it warms up on the wrist more quickly than stainless steel. So in an attempt to help convert some more folks over to #teamtitanium, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite titanium watches that suit the winter months. I sat on the other side of this argument for quite a while. This innate lightness is not for everybody, and I get that.
Since that day, practicality and sense have come to rule, and I’ve learned not just to appreciate it but also love it! It was a bizarre experience, and I wasn’t ready for it. Having only really worn and collected stainless steel watches, I was a bit weirded out by titanium’s lightness when I first held it. It’s funny, as if you’d asked me my opinion of titanium last year, I’d certainly not have the same opinion as I do today.
