Titanium Watches From Omega
Omega has been making titanium watches for many years. The light and robust metal offers numerous advantages over stainless steel and precious metals like gold.
This page contains information about:
What are the advantages of titanium?
As a case material, titanium offers a great number of advantages. Depending on the particular alloy, titanium is approximately 40% lighter than stainless steel. At the same time, titanium is a strong metal, and highly resistant to dents and scratches. Another advantage of titanium is its high corrosion resistance. It can survive in salt water for a long period of time, for example. Allergy sufferers also appreciate titanium, as the metal is hypoallergenic. Since titanium is also non-magnetic, it's the perfect material for use in environments where magnetism might otherwise affect a watch's functionality.
What kind of titanium does Omega use for its titanium watches?
Omega uses "Grade 2" and "Grade 5" alloys for its titanium watches. Grade 2 titanium is one of the most common and most frequently used titanium alloys and is used to make the Omega Speedmaster models. The dark gray metal is also known as "ASTM B348 Grade 2." Grade 2 titanium consists primarily of titanium, but the basic properties of the alloy are very similar to those of Grade 5.
The Grade 5 alloy (also known as Ti-6Al-4V) has a light gray color that is very similar to that of stainless steel. It consists mainly of titanium, aluminum, and vanadium. While titanium is the largest component of this alloy, aluminum and vanadium ensure that the alloy is particularly strong and heat-resistant. Omega uses Grade 5 titanium for watches in the Seamaster collection.
Popular Omega Models Made of Titanium
Omega uses titanium to make the diving watches in its Seamaster collection, as well as individual models in the Speedmaster line. A very popular variant of the Omega Seamaster 300M is the titanium James Bond 007 Edition, presented in 2020. The watch measures 42 mm in diameter and comes with a Milanese bracelet or NATO strap. Some Omega Planet Ocean 600M models are also made of titanium. One example of these is the three-hand ref. 215.92.44.21.99.001, which has a 43.5-mm case. This model is worn on a rubber strap. The titanium case of the Planet Ocean 600M Chronograph ref. 215.90.46.51.99.001 is considerably larger, at 45.5 mm across, and a three-link titanium bracelet ensures a maximum of comfort on the wrist.
The Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M collection also includes models made of titanium. The 43-mm ref. 231.92.43.22.04.001, for example, is made of this light metal. The watch – which has an additional GMT function – is worn on a nylon strap. The Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M "Ultra Light", released in 2020, not only has a titanium case, but various components in the movement are also made of titanium. The strap is made of rubber. If you're looking for a titanium Omega Seamaster capable of meeting professional underwater challenges, check out the Seamaster Ploprof 1200M ref. 227.90.55.21.99.002. Here, the generous 55 x 48 mm case and the Milanese bracelet are both made of titanium.
The Omega Speedmaster collection is home to technical and sporty titanium models with quartz movements. The Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, for example, is made of Grade 2 titanium. The 45-mm watch is equipped with the Omega multifunction quartz caliber 5619 and, depending on the version, is worn on a titanium bracelet or nylon strap. The case and bracelet of the 45-mm Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer ref. 318.90.45.79.01.003 are also made of titanium. The watch is powered by the quartz caliber 5622.
The titanium case of the 43-mm Speedmaster Spacemaster Z-33 ref. 325.92.43.79.01.001 is equipped with the Omega quartz caliber 5666 and worn on a black and red rubber strap. The Speedmaster X-33 Regatta ref. 318.92.45.79.01.001 is the latest model in the group of ultra-modern quartz-powered Speedmasters. The 45-mm watch is limited to 2,017 pieces and powered by the Omega caliber 5620.
