Titoni Seascoper Coloration Block Version Evaluation

Earlier this 12 months, I reviewed the Titoni Seascoper 300, a slimmer, barely extra subdued model of the Seascoper 300. Titoni has launched a brand new model primarily based on the 300, the Titoni Seascoper Coloration Block Version. This new mannequin is obtainable in 2 colours, all-black DLC, with a black dial and gray indices and arms, and this all-DLC model with a vibrant metallic orange dial. Each variations come on a fitted rubber strap with a deployant buckle, a textile strap within the field, sapphire crystal, a ceramic bezel insert, and a COSC Sellita SW200-1 automated motion. These new watches are extraordinarily restricted although, with the all-black restricted to 300 items, and this orange dial solely 100 items worldwide. Pricing is $1,850, and I really like this orange dial, and I really feel virtually every part is ideal. Nearly.

First, there was the 600, then the Carbon Editon, then the 300, and now the Titioni Seascoper Coloration Block Version, which is an identical to the Seascoper 300, with only a few minor modifications. Case dimensions, motion, and dial configuration keep the identical, however now for the primary time, the Titoni Seascoper case is all DLC coated. The Carbon 600 variations do have that blackish look about them, however nothing just like the deep darkish black of this brushed case with polished lug chamfers. I’m an enormous fan of the stainless Seascoper and after they launched the 300 with some new colorways, I used to be excited, however seeing these now in all black, and particularly with this orange dial, this mannequin simply actually pops. Black and orange is a superb combo for watches, and this can be one of many easiest black and orange watches I’ve seen up to now.

The orange dial is the standout right here, however that is no extraordinary orange, that is an in-your-face orange, a deep metallic orange that jogs my memory of a tangerine and even the colour of a basketball at instances. Gentle and the crystal could make it seem in several hues relying on the angle, however if you would like a vibrant orange dial, that is the one. And in contrast to some manufacturers who do a black case and put out just a few new fashions with a brand new coat of paint, Titoni didn’t stick to the dials from earlier fashions. The format is identical, however the arms, textual content, and emblem have all been given the black therapy as properly, making this watch actually pop. Past the dial, you have got the ceramic bezel insert, not absolutely lumed, solely the pip, and total it appears nice, however I believe a possibility was missed for a matte ceramic bezel. I believe it might have tied every part collectively just a bit higher as this insert is a bit of flashy in comparison with the remainder of the watch.

One large change from the earlier 300 Seascoper, is the case again. Most of it stays the identical, with the porthole window and all, however as a substitute of that terrible mirror-like polish, I imply really like a mirror that you would be able to see your reflection in, now it’s all round brushed, and naturally, all DLC black. Titoni did make a fake pas on the again although, and that isn’t individually numbering these restricted watches. With solely 100 to go round, it might have made sense to do that, and even with a excessive variety of restricted editions, the watches are marked as such, however right here all watches will say, ONE OUT OF ONE HUNDRED. No method round it, that’s odd.

Not like the 600, there isn’t any helium launch valve, and being solely 300m water-proof, it retains the thickness to solely 12.55mm, retaining the Titoni Seascoper Coloration Block Version extra svelte on the wrist, however that is nonetheless a 42mm dive watch, and with the crown and crown guards, you’re speaking 45mm, and don’t neglect concerning the 51mm lug to lug. Mix that with a fitted rubber strap, which goes so as to add a little bit of size to the wrist, and no, this isn’t your newest microbrand 39mm diver on the wrist. This watch does put on bigger than most 42mm items, and for a 7 1/2 inch or 19.05cm wrist, I believe the scale are excellent.

One factor that isn’t excellent although is the rubber strap, or extra particularly the deployant buckle. The strap itself is unbelievable, with no holes for a clear look, the deployant is straightforward to slip on and lock into place to get an ideal match, and for somebody with actually small wrists, you’ll be able to even reduce off a small portion (they’ve it marked with a line and one other gap to connect the clasp), to assist it to suit your wrist higher. However, the clasp itself is a bit of odd, and while you put on it, there will probably be protruding metallic in opposition to your wrist. Not like my expertise with leather-based straps with this buckle, on the rubber, I discover it a lot much less intrusive and might put on this watch a bit of looser than I usually would, and but the match is ideal. That every one stated, I believe if the half that touched your wrist was flat, it might be an ideal clasp and arrange for the Titoni Seascoper Coloration Block Version.

So whereas the Titoni Seascoper Coloration Block Version will not be revolutionary and is simply a brand new colorway for this phenomenal dive watch, it might be my favourite model of this mannequin up to now. I discover myself gravitating increasingly more to all-black watches and whereas I’m certain the stealth model of this mannequin could be very modern in individual, this loopy orange dial in opposition to the deep black of the case and the bezel is the place it’s at for me. The numbering factor, or lack thereof, is a bit of regarding for me, and it might be the primary time I’ve seen that from any model, and the buckle may use some minor tweaks, however within the bluntest terminology, I discover this to really be a badass piece, with glorious particulars and ending that Titoni is thought for. Keep in mind, there are solely 100 of those to go round, and on the time of this assessment, the primary batch of the Orange dial is at the moment offered out, with extra on the best way shortly.
