I have always liked the styling of the TT1 diver series but never made the purchase on one. Well last week I came across a great deal on this TT1 Titan 1000m that I could not pass up. Holy cow, I don't know what took me so long to finally make the purchase, this thing is wicked cool! The case and bracelet are all solid machined titanium for a great look and feel. It has some really nice features too.  The case is 47mm diameter & 18mm thick, because of the curvature of the case it wears smaller (perfect).  It has an Oris 674, base ETA 7750 movement. Cool wave pattern dial with nicely layed out chrono sub dials. Domed sapphire crystal with interior AR coating. Screw down crown, pushers and HE valve. Screwed lugs and bracelet links. This model comes with polished bracelet and case accents. I'm a brushed finish kind of guy so I brushed the bracelet, crown, pushers and bezel sides for a nice "Tool-Tech" kind of look.

I just got a chance to shoot some pics earlier today so here you guys go. Enjoy.

Nice Watch

Great Photos!

Is it thick, like an eco zilla?

How does the 47mm compare in size to the Monstrum?

I like big watches, thats why I ask.

Thanks

Thanks Hucky and Nordstrom, Yeah it's thick. 18mm thick the diameter of the case is 47mm but because of the rounded case and how it tapers from top to bottom it seems a bit smaller. I have the monstrum too and would say this is comparable. Big, thick and chunky. The large thick links of the bracelet also add to the overall appearance.

Dave I like it..awesome..yourock.gif  I had the Meistertaucher Regulator I just thought it was a tad small, for a 44mm and I was going to get the 47mm-Carlos Coste but I got side track Orsa, Enzo etc... That was a smart move by Oris to make another watch 47mm and chrono to please the crowd that like bigger watches.   Dont get me wrong for everyone out there has the TTI Diver, there a great watch and awesome looking also I could own another.

 

Dave would you mind telling us how you did such a great job on the brush finish, you did on the bracelet.  I'm guessing 400 or 600 grit sandpaper.

Hey teddy, I agree with you on the size of the Regulator and 300m Oris dive cases sized at 44mm. I checked one out at my local AD about a year ago and thought it seemed slightly small. It's because of the curvature to the case that make them appear that way. The TT1 Titan 1000m has a 47mm case but tapers to the top at the bezel to 44mm. Which makes it wear on the wrist really nicely.
