As I promised before. Today, I'll talk about another Titus 77 of mine.
Basically, the physic is the same with the other one. But this one has creme dial with flower pattern and dotted in the center of flower. The index is the same and also the hands only this one using gold type not silver while the date using red color.
The edging of plastic glass not domed but rectangle and between lug at the top there is the SN not on the case back. Hhmmm.... reminds me of Rolex ;)) I combined it with yellow Paros strap. Specs: Titus 77, Titomatic Jetpower Super Creme with dotted flower pattern with cross hair Movement Titomatic/Automatic, 77 jewels Dia. 35mm and 37mm(w/crown), circa 1950-60s Lug to lug: 43mm Power reserve: +/- 47 hours (Good reserve !!) and keeping the good time!
Side by side my Titus 77. And the triplet 77 jewels....
Titus, an underdog Swiss watch but worth to collect for the affordable price.....
This is one of my collections of Titus 77.
Ok, cut the crap. Let's get on the watch as you could see the history in the article section.
On the silver-part aging dial it's written TITUS-Titomatic Jetpower super, 77 jewels and also with cross hair & the star.
I couldn't understand the meaning of Titomatic and Jetpower super? While another watch-Titoni claimed "Airmaster" ??
As I already explained in Titoni 77, this Titus also has 77 jewels which not all jewels have function as the "worker" but mostly as accessories just to show that the watch has so many jewels, he...he...
Anyway, the watch still have original domed plastic/mica glass with inner magnifier for date, spears hands, spears and bars index. Based on those criteria the watch was produced ca. 1950-60s.
Since produced at that time so doesn't have the hacking system for changing the date.
I should be patiently turn the hands 24 hours to change the date :D
Although, on the dial the brand shows TITUS but on the machine printed "Solvil et Titus", again don't know why??
The pic not from my watch, I'll update the machine from mine...
The watch is still in good condition and runs very very good.....
I have another one and will update soon....

Today, it's my first time to upload one of my collection.
And one of it is Titus Pocket Watch, I had this watch from my father and maybe he got it from his father too.
I had some difficulties when taking pics of the pocket watch because the dial and the plastic-glass was reflecting the sunlight and also I was using camera phone. At last, not 100%! But, it's ok right?
The pocket watch is hand wound and still in great shape, no rust! Unfortunately I only had the watch minus the original chain :((.
The dial is in silver with smooth lining pattern, 42mm, 44mm with the crown, the hands consist only for hour and minute, the index using roman numbers, and there are 17 jewels inside that mechanical pocket watch.
And I don't know whether the crown still original or not? But it looks original to me. Also I don't know when was the pocket watch made? Anyone? It's from 70s, thx ro chezz..
