The New Synchron Ti300M SEALAB Is Testing My Willpower
Synchron has announced the SEALAB Ti300M, a new professional dive watch that introduces a Grade 5 titanium case and 300 meters of water resistance as the foundation of its newly launched SEALAB line. Titanium dive watches are nothing new, but this release is notable for where it’s positioned. The SEALAB Ti300M is aimed directly at the same functional, heritage-driven space occupied by brands like Doxa and Synchron itself, rather than the broader lifestyle-oriented titanium diver market.

The 5 Watches That Almost Wrecked My 2025 Budget
I spent much of 2025 trying to be more disciplined about how I collected. That meant fewer impulse buys, longer pauses between purchases, and a genuine effort to interrogate why I wanted something before convincing myself I needed it. On paper, that kind of approach sounds responsible and even calming. In reality, it turns every well-executed release into an internal debate, especially when your taste has matured, your curiosity remains relentless, and your budget is very aware of both.
