For many Indians, their first Titan wasn’t just a watch—it was a milestone. 

A cherished gift from a parent, a symbol of success, or a token of love, it marked moments that mattered.

With every tick, it carried stories, emotions, and the unwavering promise of excellence that has defined Titan for generations.

Since its inception in 1984, Titan has been woven into the fabric of our celebrations. It all started in 1987 when Tata Group and TIDCO joined forces to revolutionize India’s watch industry with Titan. Over the years, Titan grew beyond watches, shaping India’s lifestyle landscape with Tanishq, Fastrack, Skinn, Taneira, and more.

And as India grew, Titan has not only kept pace with time but shaped it—becoming a symbol of India’s ambition, innovation, and progress. 

As India’s largest and the world’s fifth-largest integrated watch manufacturer, it has crafted timepieces that embody India’s true spirit. From the pioneering Titan Quartz (1987) that redefined timekeeping in India, to the elegant Titan Raga (1992) designed for modern Indian women, to the bold and stylish Fastrack (1998) that captured the spirit of a new generation—Titan timepieces have always reflected India's emotions.

Now, Titan marks a new chapter in its legacy with India’s first Flying Tourbillon Movement, the 7TH1 Calibre —a masterpiece of precision and artistry.

Flying high on the wings of craftsmanship and precision

As India forays into luxury watchmaking with Titan at the helm, the 7TH1 Calibre is a testament to how far Indian horology has come, ushering in a new chapter of excellence and global recognition.  

Ms. Suparna Mitra, CEO, Watches & Wearables, Titan Company Ltd., stated, “As we celebrate ‘40 Years of Joy’ with this limited-edition series, we are delighted to present the Titan Tourbillon. This magnificent watch, made in India is a testament of our horological prowess and our manufacturing and design capabilities.”

A leap into the future of horology.

This exceptional timepiece, over two and a half years in the making, is a triumph of Indian craftsmanship and ambition.

Exquisitely crafted in-house, this hand-wound mechanical caliber exemplifies Titan’s growing mastery in haute horology. Comprising 141 meticulously engineered components, its plates and bridges are sculpted to achieve a perfect harmony between technical brilliance and aesthetic finesse.

At the heart of this masterpiece lies the Flying Tourbillon, an exquisite marvel uniquely shaped as a “T for Titan” at 6 o’clock—an iconic signature that also serves as the petite seconds hand. 

Every detail of the Calibre is painstakingly hand-finished with four distinguished techniques—Perlage, Côte de Genève, Spiral Satin, and Circular Satin—ensuring an unparalleled level of craftsmanship. 

The dial is a canvas of horological artistry, featuring two exquisite Guilloché patterns, meticulously handcrafted in Switzerland by master artisans, featuring a delicate rice grain Guilloché on the outer ring and an exquisite flinqué Guilloché adorning the inner peacock blue dial.

A symphony of technical brilliance and luxury, this timepiece boasts a 4 Hz frequency movement and a 36-hour power reserve within its 44mm 18K rose gold case.

The sapphire crystal exhibition caseback unveils the breathtaking movement within, while the individually numbered ring proudly bears “India,” marking its prestigious origin.

Encased in a collector’s edition set, this timepiece is accompanied by a bespoke metal plaque, a handcrafted leather travel pouch, a fine wiping cloth, a precision loupe, and an elegantly curated story booklet—preserving its legacy for generations to come. Priced at ₹26,00,000, this masterpiece is a true connoisseur’s collectible, embodying the pinnacle of Indian horology.

A tribute to timeless artistry

While the Tourbillon stands as the crowning jewel of this commemorative collection, three more exquisite timepieces complete the ensemble— the Titan Classique, the Titan Mechanical Gold, and the Titan Moonphase. Reimagined from iconic designs, these watches blend heritage with innovation, embodying the precision, artistry, and sophistication that define 40 years of horological excellence.

The Classique Case 

A tribute to two of Titan’s original bestsellers, the Classique embodies timeless sophistication with its rose-gold accents and sleek silver-white lacquered dial. The supple black leather strap adds to its refined elegance, symbolizing Titan’s journey of excellence. Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, the timepieces feature a sapphire crystal glass with three layers of anti-reflective coating for absolute clarity. The original ‘Tau’ Titan logo and a 40 Years of Joy engraving make this commemorative edition even more special. Powered by an in-house P3H Quartz movement, these watches are limited to 1,000 numbered pieces. Priced at ₹24,995 for the 40mm model and ₹21,995 for the 34mm, each watch is accompanied by a metal plaque with QR code, a leather travel pouch, a microfiber cloth, and an e-warranty card—a true collector’s piece.

The Moonphase Multifunction Watch 

 A cherished classic among watch connoisseurs, the reimagined Moonphase Multifunction honours Titan’s legacy with elegant regal blue hands, a meticulously crafted moonphase display, and a refined black leather strap that embodies timeless sophistication. The silver-white cambered dial sits elegantly within a surgical-grade stainless steel case, protected by sapphire crystal glass with triple-layer anti-reflective coating for enhanced visibility. The original ‘Tau’ Titan logo and calendar complications reflect its exquisite craftsmanship. Limited to 900 numbered pieces, this exquisite timepiece is priced at ₹41,995 for the 40mm model and ₹36,995 for the 34mm. Each watch comes with a metal plaque with QR code, a leather travel pouch, a microfiber cloth, and an e-warranty card, making it an essential for collectors.

Titan Gold Mechanical Watch 

A testament to timeless craftsmanship, the Titan Gold Mechanical Watch is an exquisite 18K gold timepiece, celebrating 40 years of Titan’s watchmaking legacy. Designed with a domed sapphire glass and paired with a genuine alligator leather strap, this watch is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The 38mm gold case with contoured lugs and a slim bezel frames the silver-white lacquered dial, complemented by polished hour indices and golden dotted minute markings. At its core is the Slim Edge Mechanical Calibre 903, a marvel of engineering—an ultra-thin 2.2mm hand-wound movement composed of 106 precision metal parts with a 42-hour power reserve. Priced at ₹5,50,000, this exclusive collector’s edition is presented with a metal plaque with QR code, a leather travel pouch, a microfiber cloth, and a story booklet detailing its legacy and warranty, ensuring it holds its place as a treasured heirloom.

For 40 years, Titan has been more than a watchmaker—it has been a storyteller, a companion, and a symbol of India’s ambition. With the Flying Tourbillon leading this Commemorative Collection, Titan not only celebrates its past but carves a bold future—one where Indian horology stands among the world’s finest.
