Tutima Patria Titanium
I am pleased to share a newly acquired timepiece. Tutima has interested me for many years. When I saw this grey version of the updated Patria, it was a must try. Through some very fortunate connections, here it is.
My initial thoughts on the quality is that it is well on par with my "higher" end brands like AP and PF. The first thing I do when I receive any new watch is examine the accuracy of the hands alignment, hour markers, etc. All perfect on this one. Not sure I have tried a sheepskin strap before, but consider me a fan. Awesome tactile sensations through the crown and winding mechanism. Nicely finished movement. The 41mm polished titanium case is light and wonderfully finished. Grey was the easy choice for me, but the silver and black dials are also compelling.
Happy to be on board with a new brand to start 2026.

Beautiful!
Lovely hands and lovely movement. Sincere congratulations Michael, thanks for sharing these pictures with us, I haven't thought of Tutima in 'eons'.... 🙂👌
Thanks LK. I think this one would be well received by anyone who handles it up close.
Very, very impressive feel and quality level.
Really great looking watch. Congratulations!
What metal is the movement made of? It looks really nice.
I have read it is gold plated
So far, it is running extremely accurate, and as posted, the winding action is a real pleasure. Maybe not quite the same feast for the eyes as my old Glashutte Chronometer, but still impressive (especially at the price).
That’s a great addition
I first came to know about the Patria when it came out with the blue dial, I liked it quite a bit but was worried it may wear too big. The recent gray dial and Titanium case reminded me about this piece, I have to say it is really attractive, as I love bo...
These mew titanium cases have been reduced to 41mm from 43mm
Now that I own the 41mm, which appears even a touch smaller, I think it is just right. Tutima probably should have reeled in the case size before.
Very comfortable and light weight. Easy like Sunday morning.
And I wore it to church yesterday, on Sunday morning!
And again to you, Sir. We both nabbed an early treat for 2026!
The 1860 has a dial to die for.
Ok this is
seriously funny. Here is the screenshot from my phone of the cover of your post. Now I’m no expert on bras per se. I have tried to take them off various women in my youth, but I was unaware that they were tiered as you point out. 😂 ...
Great grey! Very nice watch, and quite rear as well!
What’s not to like? Congratulations!
Thank you, Jack. I think you would like it up close
As I think of some of the other beauties you own and enjoy.
Congratulations, this is a very classy watch 👍🥂
In fact,this same watch has also raised my attention and I hope to be able to see it soon.
Wow, congratulations on this new timepiece!
I find it very appealing from any angle. The monochrome look and Clous de Paris dial are fantastic ! Enjoy! Best, Emmanuel
Thanks, Sir. I suspect you might prefer 39mm to 41mm, but on the wrist, it seems "correct" as they made it.
I would welcome your further thoughts should you come across one up close.
Big congrats! Great catch!
I remember the blue dial version few years ago. Got in touch with Tutima wanting to purchase directly from them, the correspondence somehow didn’t go quite well so I passed.
Over many years, the brand has tempted me.
No pun intended here, but the Tempostopp in particular
Huge congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
Looks very nice indeed 👌🏻👍🏻 Can you tell us more about the movement? Fun fact, if I recall correctly, the founder of Tutima used to live in the villa that Kari Voutilainen has his home and atelier in these days 😊
It is called caliber 617.
31mm x 4.78mm, 3/4 plate, Breguet hairspring, and 3 screw mounted gold chatons for a few of the jewels. 65 hour power reserve. And delightful to wind! Cool fact about the villa!
Congratulations!
This watch punches way above its weight. Judging by the pictures it’s extremely well executed and the finishing is very impressive for this brand! I’m sure it’s a pleasure to wind… Does it have hacking seconds?
Hacking seconds, yes. And full agreement on the value proposition.
I hope other WPS members give this collection a go!
Tonally, it is near identical to my PF Minute Rattrapante.
The Parmigiani is on a bracelet of course. But I see them co-existing just fine
Wow - nice catch to begin the year!
Looking excellent and I will take a peek at Tutima as well. Hope you enjoy it and post more! Peter
It is a real change of pace from an AP.
But Peter, as honest as I can write this, the quality feels every bit as good. No knock whatsoever on AP, but high praise for this well priced German watch!
Guilloché dials . . .
. . . are the crème de la crème . Welcome to the club, Michael! Thrilled, Art ...
Congratulations Michael!
It is a beautiful watch. German watchmaking showing what it’s capable of. The guilloché of the dial, the crown, the small seconds, the 3/4 bridge, there are many features to enjoy! Thanks for sharing. René
I appreciate your reply, my Friend!
I have owned a few German watches over the years and have never been disappointed. I started with a Jorg Schauer Edition 10 ( and what a mistake to have traded that one years ago). Glashutte Original, the senator chronometer is a wonderful timepiece. And ...
I agree with you!
I think Glashütte Original is under appreciated when you compare the horological value and fine details for the price. Let’s not even talk about Lange! Which is on par or maybe even better than comparable watches from Patek. And there are many entry level...
