Ming 19.01 (titanium)

Archive · used only

The Ming 19.01 (titanium) was a 39 mm Grade 5 titanium dress watch with a Schwarz-Etienne MSE100.1 automatic movement. With a 100-hour power reserve, it runs longer than 90% of the 170 mechanical titanium dress watches with a stated reserve. On the maker's specification no steel touches the skin, so the guide lists it as nickel-free. It is no longer made, so this page is a reference for buying one used.
