Titanium, 500 metres, no nonsense
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท
The M2 Seven Seas is a German take on a dive watch: big, functional, made of pearl-blasted titanium, and rated to 50 bar. It shares DNA with Tutima's M2 military watches, and you can tell.
44 mm and 13 mm tall, with a day-date window at 3 and luminous markers. The bezel is unidirectional with a lumed pip. The Tutima 330 automatic gives 38 hours. On the Kevlar strap with a titanium buckle, it's lighter than it looks.
Gripe: 44 mm is big, and the angular case makes it look bigger. If you have smaller wrists, this isn't for you.
At around $1,900 to $2,300 it's a lot of serious diver for the money, with a history to match.
