The Titanium Field GuidePicks of the month

Arken Alterum

The Arken Alterum is a 40 mm Grade 2 titanium integrated-bracelet sports watch with an Arken ARK-9015DT automatic movement. At a list price of $832, it costs less than 94% of the 93 titanium integrated-bracelet sports watches in production, leaving out the fashion brands. Rated to 200 m, no other titanium integrated-bracelet sports watch in the guide goes deeper, out of 115. On the maker's specification no steel touches the skin, so the guide lists it as nickel-free.
