Titoni SeaScoper 600 Review. Is This The Best Diver Under $2000?

[@watchreport]

Check out the ZODIAC SEA WOLF GMT REVIEW kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3WZnaOCrNGGqZo

[@rolexr]

I bought it one week ago (Vintage Model) and I am totally flashed how beautiful this watch is!!!

[@dunny2210]

I have some sentimental values with Titoni. My parents gifted each other Titoni watches in the early 80s, and I grew seeing them as promise pieces. As of today, those watches are still running strong.

[@ColinRobinson92]

That really is a gorgeous piece. Titoni is a brand most people don't think of too often, but probably should. It's over a century old now and offering this much at that price point will hopefully raise their profile.

[@watchreport]

Hey, everyone! Hope you enjoyed the video. Just want to clear up a few things concerning the T1O Movement. Titoni does claim they design and assemble this movement themselves, and I did not mean to imply that they do not. It clearly states they are not manufacturing the pieces for it though, that is contracted out. Either way, it is a watch that is under $2000 and is not using an off-the-shelf movement. In no way was I trying to downplay the T10 movement, if anything I applaud the fact they designed the movement and would love to see other brands do the same.

[@stanleyling6116]

Thank for clearing this up.

[@kevinbarnbrook4728]

Possibly an eta movement

[@think-e]

No ETA, the movement was designed by Titoni itself. But they‘ve outsourced the production of the pieces to manfuctuer in switzerland because they are a tiny company with 50 employers. If you are speaking german there is a presentation video here on yt. Cheers from germany

[@kevinbarnbrook4728]

@@think-e Good to know, thanks for the reply.

[@bharadwajarya6104]

I love Titoni - My grandfather had one with him. I recently purchased this watch & it's amazing in ways. I am way too impressed with this watch built & looks. Your video helped me choose one. Thanks.

[@gregalonzo747]

A few years back, I had a Seascoper. I was in Argentina on business and I was offered $500 over what I paid. Titoni is very popular in South America. The only reason I flipped the watch is because I prefer a larger case. My Seascoper was 41mm. By the way, I did buy the watch based on your review and I concur, Titoni is a very good brand.

[@pth8888]

I think it is a very competitive price and nice dive watch. I do hope they come out with a 200m or 300m dive watch which hopefully reduces the case thickness down to 12-13mm. I think more people will find it more comfortable to wear daily.

[@markphillips2072]

Was really hoping to finally see a review of this watch . Knew of the brand but never saw anything that really stuck out till now and I've been making comments on other forums how great the watch looks and when I found out how much it was and what it offered at that price made it a more desirable option. And I think it stands out also in this segment of watches with the unique hands clasp and just really well designed .

[@kjellhedberg7779]

I have the same watch for 9 months now. Love it.

[@skyraider1776]

Thanks very much for the excellent review. I purchased the new SeaScoper 600 in the two-tone yellow gold version and have been extremely pleased with the watch. I was looking for a quality built all-around "dress diver" and this one fills the bill perfectly with its 42mm case size and brush/satin finish gold center links. Also it is noteworthy that Mr. Roland G. Murphy of RGM Watches is the Official USA Service Center for Titoni watches. You would be hard pressed to find a better value in an all Swiss Made watch with an In-House Chronometer movement IMHO. Thanks again.

[@snapfitness1]

I really like the overall look and your right about the clasp and extension, very nice. The lume is fine with me cause I don't necessarily need it brighter. Not going diving but will be going to the movies ... hopefully. Don't need seiko lume there. Good review and thanks for bringing a new watch to my attention.

[@johncorcoran2569]

Looks like a nice watch for the money. Love the micro adjustment!

[@hellslayer9638]

Man , titoni really makes really good watches 🙂 for the price it even beats Omega and Rolex movement is good quality looks really good i have not seen many Swiss watches but titoni i can is one of if not the best brand for first Swiss watch purchase

[@eckwullie579]

Just seen this watch in a review on Fratello Watches this morning and I will be ordering one, possibly before Christmas. Just waiting on Titoni replying to my email I sent them today about shipping times etc. Much prefer the look of it to my Hydroconquest and that clasp is amazing! Great review by the way! It's reviews such as yours that answers any questions I may have when buying products.

Good to hear and thank you, much appreciated. Hope you get it and enjoy it.

[@CC-oc3jv]

Beautiful watch!!! Love the clasp and the dial!!

[@thomasmuller925]

Ich wünsche noch ein gutes neues Jahr. Service ist ein wichtiges Thema! Hier möchte ich auch mal den Service von Titoni lobend erwähnen. Ich hatte ein quietschen am Band. Das wurde sehr schnell und professionell behoben.👍🏻 Das Band wurde getauscht, es ging absolut problemlos 👍🏻

[@MrPaganizonda]

I would be a perfect 10 watch in this price range if the side case is brush finishing. I hv ordered this watch, the blue has 2 month waiting list!

[@heathwasson7811]

I mean by this definition, Rolex for most of it's history wouldn't be defined as having an in-house movement, arguably still doesn't. Most people don't realize it, but until 2004 Rolex movements were actually made by Aegler, under exclusive contract. Still are, but Rolex now owns the company. So if we're being fair, Rolex is no more in house than Hamilton, Tissot, or any other Swatch group company. Rolex bought Aegler, Swatch bought ETA. So if we're going to call Rolex in-house, all the Swatch group is too.

[@watchreport]

I agree to a point, I was just trying to stress they call it a manufacture movement, and not an in-house movement as I think too many brands are fast and loose with that term.

[@bayflowshow65]

This is definitely a Tudor homage. The click is not as smooth on the bezel like the Tudor Black Bay Heritage. But it’s similar in the 60 clicks. I do love the meaty case. At this size, I really don’t need a display case back. But I can always appreciate one. I am in the market for a black dial and bezel Rolex homage. I think I found it in this Titoni 600. My wrist is around 7 1/2ish. So I can appreciate this type of watch. And every time I go to a Rolex AD, I’m always asking for the Sea-Dweller. I know that it’s going to be a long shot, so having a nice watch with some muscle in the Sea-scoper 600 is very welcome.

[@watchreport]

Your wrist is same size as mine, so hopefully it gives you a good idea how it wears. If you get it, I hope you enjoy it. The black dial model does look great.

[@frankdirscherl2345]

Does the Seascoper 600 have an enamel dial?

[@watchreport]

[@richardvanfrank8114]

​@@watchreportthanks. Deciding between the 300 and 600. Which one did you prefer?

[@watchreport]

I prefer the 600 for a few reasons. The bezel having numbers all the way around instead of just the first 15, the case back showing the movement as the 300 has a solid case back with a mirror polished center that scratches if you breath on it and most importantly the movement, the 600 has their T10 manufacture movement, with a much higher power reserve. Now the price has gone up quite a bit since this review, but compared to the 300’s price I still would go for the 600.

[@richardvanfrank8114]

[@stefanmueller2164]

[@newtonlee7849]

Nice review. Now I'm curious about whether movement is made in Switzerland even though the T10 is considered a "Manufacture movement" according to their website ( Is an "in house movement" the same as "manufacture"? Movement aside, I agree that the SeaScoper offers lots of value. It looks like a more sophisticated watch than the Oris Aquis.

[@watchreport]

Manufacture movement and in house are terms that many are fast and loose with it. Without seeing emails, documents, financials etc, all I can go on is what Titoni has stated about it, and yes it’s a Swiss made movement, because the watch is marked Swiss made and the movement needs to be Swiss to get that designation. Now, when it comes to criteria on what constitutes Swiss Made, that’s a whole other story.

[@newtonlee7849]

@@watchreport Last Comment: For the price of the watch, & a unique ( regardless of entirely made in house ) movement, no complaints!! Much more value compared to Swatch brands eg Hamilton, Longines, Rado, Certina, Mido, ... why buy cookie cutter watches all with ETA movements?

Hello there.....wanted to know if this watch or the movement used is anitmagnetic - just curious to know. Also I consider this brand more like a microbrand - do you think their after sales service is good enough in the UK & India as I travel between this two places for work commitments. Thanks have a good day

[@watchreport]

Standard anti- magnetic to 4800 A/m. I wouldn’t consider them a micro. They just had their 100 year anniversary. That said as far as after sales service in UK and India, that is beyond my purview. You will have to contact Titoni directly.

[@sadaka201]

Best watch for the money, no doubt about that. I got the black one. Very very nice and the specs are outstanding for the price!

[@watchreport]

Congrats on your black dial. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@zash008]

Why doesnt the photos on of this watch on TITONI website show "Swiss Made" on the dial? Nevermind. I just went back to the website and looked again while zooming the page. The "Swiss Made" print is extremely tiny on the dial.

[@dinner_workingsly]

Very nice! Unfortunately/fortunately I’m super picky about numerals on a dial….unfortunate that it says me from this awesome watch…fortunate that I get to save $2k..🤷🏻‍♂️ Great review Don, I was looking forward to this!

[@watchreport]

What are your issues with the numerals? ( just making conversation).

[@dinner_workingsly]

@@watchreport it’s just the aesthetics. I’d let it fly on a vintage seamaster but that’s only because I’d have no option. It took me years to realize I didn’t like the numerals, lots of purchases. Kinda like everything else I don’t love in the hobby, I had to buy a half dozen before I realized I don’t like it. I used to buy dress watches, sport watches, novelty watches….turns out I’m super vanilla and like pretty generic looking divers for the most part. I’ll come around though…I used to be all about aluminum bezel inserts, then after the ceramic and sapphire craze I wasn’t for em, now I’m back to really liking an aluminum insert…🤷🏻‍♂️. Damned hobby lol

To the best of my knowledge-it is in house designed and assembled, but not manufactured. Titoni has not corrected me on this video and what I stated, and they of course watched and read the review.

[@polycrase]

Kinda hard to believe there's a 600m diver under 42mm. The price point is good too.

[@imranchowdhury4972]

It looks a thick and weighty watch. Does it feel uncomfortable to wear a full day? How about the accuracy while the movement is 6 positions adjusted? Are you sure the lug width is 22mm, it looks more like 20mm. Sorry to bother you with so many questions but I had been saving to purchase this watch because I think this is the best bank per buck. Please let me know your kind opinion.

[@watchreport]

It’s 22mm. I found accuracy to be +2 seconds a day measured over a 3 day period. We live in a weird time. To be, this is not a thick watch, nor weighty. If’s very balanced and can easily wear it all day. Once you get up to 16mm and up, that’s thick. This is a very wearable watch, like a 42mm Black Bay.

We need someone to state as fact if it has plastic escapement and/or plastic balance to achieve the "70 hours" reserve time or not before many of us are willing to pay almost $2000. Aka movement C07.111 If it has plastic parts its just another $550 watch to me and I'm not interested in a watch with plastic parts inside.

[@dominicmartinez915]

Why wouldn't you be interested in a watch that has plastic parts in it? Any watch brand creating cases, dials, or other components (like the carbon movement bridges of the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Carbon Spider) out of reinforced composites are featuring plastic components. Are you saying that watch is cheap and no good???. But perhaps the best example of a high-end watch company seeing the benefit of plastics is Rolex. It is generally common knowledge that Rolex uses Teflon-coated (not solid Teflon, but coated metal) wheels in the automatic winding mechanisms, largely because Teflon (PTFE) has one of the lowest coefficient of frictions of any solid. This means that the mechanism is very low friction, yet strong, and requires no lubrication. Since automatic winding mechanisms are always moving but aren’t required to maintain the precision of a going train, this is the smartest place to use a plastic material. So are Rolex's cheap and no good???

[@frankdirscherl2345]

No plastic.
