Listen to this episode from WATCH CHRONICLER on Spotify. Rick Marei is a veritable legend of dive watches. Entering the watch industry in the late-'90...
I have 2 Tutimas and can just say that they have an incredible built quality. I think they have Swiss movement which were modified by Tutima. Apart from the great reliability I am very much into the style and enjoy wearing them nearly day to day.
Can't say something about the other brands.
I came across Tutima, because they deliver the professional watches for aircrews of the German armed forces.
Privately I own a Tutima M2 Seven Seas and I really enjoy wearing it.
With it's toolish design, great legibility and WR of 50ATM I really can't think of any activity for which this watch is not suitable.
As I am an Aviator in the German Navy I received also the classic Tutima Military Chronograph. This watch is as well amazing and currently I am wearing it each and every day.
Great functionality and legibility und it wears so good on the wrist. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to find one of theese beauties on the market. They have the Lemania 5100 and the design from Prorsche Design (Tom Cruise wore the Porsche Design in TopGun).
Over all the two watches have a superb build quality and wear really comfortable. I can only recommend to get your hands on a Tutima!
You are right, Max. All the aviation branches of the German Armed Forces use watches like these. I am flying in the Naval Air Wing and I received this beauty...
I really enjoy wearing this one. It has a great power reserve and a fantastic accuracy. Even though it is a little bit thicker than other watches (because of the second inner case which protects the movement from radiation in the cockpit) it wears so comfortable.
The brand on the dial is #tutima. On the caseback the is also Porsche Design and Orfina marked.
I can relate why Tom Cruise chose this amazing timepiece and I am so proud that I can wear my Tutima everyday.
So from my perspective I would recommend looking for a watch like this in good used condition or just go for the Porsche Design ๐!
