Erebus Titan — A Microbrand Diver That Goes All In

Erebus Titan Dive Watch

In the crowded world of affordable watches, Erebus has stood out as a microbrand with purpose. Founded in 2023 by Jody from Just One More Watch, and his business partner Steven, the brand quickly earned respect for pairing strong specs with thoughtful design. Now, with the debut of the Titan, Erebus is taking its biggest leap yet. This isn’t just a color update or a movement swap—it’s an all-new model, and it marks a defining moment for the brand’s identity.

Officially launched on June 21, the Titan is Erebus’s most ambitious watch to date: overbuilt, unapologetically bold, and packed with pro-level features usually reserved for watches well above its price tag.

Meet the Titan

The Titan is designed for those who want their dive watch to feel purposeful—both visually and functionally. With a 44mm case, the Titan clearly leans into the tool watch aesthetic, but smart ergonomics like sloping lugs and a sculpted mid-case help it sit comfortably even on medium wrists.

It boasts a 500-meter water resistance rating, helium escape valve, Viton gaskets, and a fully lumed ceramic bezel insert. These are serious specifications that go far beyond typical desk diver territory. The watch is protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal and illuminated with generous applications of BGW9 Super-LumiNova on the hands, dial, and bezel.

Designed to withstand the depths with 500m water resistance, the Titan comes with Viton® gaskets and a helium escape valve to complete its genuine deep diving credentials.

Under the hood, the Titan runs on the Seiko NH35. It might not excite spec-sheet chasers, but it’s a dependable movement that suits the Titan’s tool-forward spirit. And just like with Erebus’s earlier models, the watch includes a well-machined super-engineer-style bracelet with a tool-less microadjust clasp, ensuring quick comfort adjustments on the fly.

Dial Options: All Nine Titan Variants

One of the most exciting parts of this release is the variety. Erebus isn’t just launching the Titan in a single look—they’ve gone all in with nine distinct versions, offering something for almost every taste.

Here are the current Titan variants:

  1. Meteorite Dial / Black Bezel – The most premium variant, featuring a textured dial reminiscent of natural meteorite. It carries a higher price tag, but offers a unique look rarely found at this price point. Case is standard stainless steel.
  2. Obsidian Black Fumé Dial / Black Bezel (PVD Case) – A sleek, smoky gradient dial with a full black PVD case for a stealthy edge.
  3. Purple Fumé Dial / Black Bezel (PVD Case) – Another PVD model, this one pairs the tactical case finish with a bold violet-to-black gradient dial.
  4. White Full Lume Dial / Green Bezel – The standout in low light: dial, indices, hands, and bezel markings are all lumed, offering incredible nighttime visibility.
  5. Steel Blue Fumé Dial / Blue Bezel – Subtle texture with just the right touch of color.
  6. Deep Teal Dial / Matching Bezel – Vivid but balanced, and one of the more colorful takes in the lineup.
  7. Charcoal Grey Dial / Black Bezel – A subdued and versatile everyday option.
  8. Navy Blue Dial / Navy Bezel – Classic dive styling with conservative color.
  9. Sunburst Silver Dial / Black Bezel – Bright, reflective, and eye-catching in sunlight.

The more premium variants—like the Meteorite, Obsidian, Purple Fumé, and White Full Lume—carry a slightly higher price tag due to upgraded dial work, full lume execution, or case finishing. These four offer the most standout character and give collectors a way to express their preferences beyond just color.

Design and Wearability

Despite its 44mm diameter, based on early previews and specs, the Titan appears to wear more comfortably than its size suggests. The short lug-to-lug span, curving profile, and weight distribution through the thick bracelet all contribute to improved wrist presence without bulk overload.

Erebus also made a conscious choice to invest in long-term usability: Viton gaskets for durability, tool-less clasp for convenience, and a ceramic bezel that won’t scratch easily. The Titan isn’t just made to look tough—it’s built to last.

Why the Titan Matters

For a relatively new microbrand, releasing a fully new model this early in its life cycle is a big move. And Erebus didn’t cut corners. The Titan shows a maturity in design language, materials, and execution. It moves the brand out of entry-level territory and into something that feels far more deliberate.

It also fills a unique spot in the market. While plenty of diver-style watches under $500 focus on vintage cues or minimal profiles, the Titan brings real dive specs, chunky design, and customizable aesthetics—all with a spec sheet that wouldn’t be out of place on a watch costing twice as much.

This release also helps round out Erebus’s catalog. With the Origin 41 already appealing to the smaller-wrist, color-happy crowd, the Titan balances that with sheer capability and presence.

Pre-Order Details

The Titan is currently available as a pre-order, with delivery scheduled for November 2025. Erebus has opted for a split-payment model: customers pay 50% upfront to secure their watch, and the remaining 50% is due at the time of shipment. This approach helps manage production while giving buyers flexibility—and ensures you’re first in line when the Titan ships. It’s a thoughtful system, and one more microbrands should consider.

Final Thoughts

The Titan is Erebus’s first true heavy hitter. It doesn’t try to be everything to everyone—but for those who love large, capable, spec-heavy dive watches with real character, this could be the standout microbrand release of the summer.

With nine models to choose from, a trusted movement, and some of the best hardware in its class, the Titan puts Erebus on a new trajectory—and it’s a strong one.
