Not a watch you are likely to see often, this Master Series from Titoni was their flagship range. Model reference 83588 S-296.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
Unfortunately we don’t have the paperwork for this watch, but the earliest reference we can find is a review from 2010 (here) and by 2012 the screwed on plaque on the dial no longer features, so we must be close to circa 2011 as a production date.
CONDITION
Titoni have been making watches since 1919, and have been owned and run by the same family all this time. Initially called Felca, in 1952 the Titoni brand was launched and the logo chosen was a stylised meihua flower. This flower can be seen on the dial, but also on a stone inset into the crown – quite a nice touch. The watch and bracelet feels well put together, if anything it feels in a bracket above the price point. You have sapphire crystal, and the matte dial features subtle patterns running behind the hour markers. The movement is an ETA 2824-2, set to chronometer standards when new and running nicely now. The bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
This watch has been checked against the Watch Register and has not been reported as lost, stolen or implicated in fraud, and a copy of that certificate will also be included.
