Thanks to recent technological advancements, titanium is pretty common in the EDC space these days. But that doesn’t mean that every brand utilizes the metal as well as the others. Popular for its lightweight properties, corrosion resistance, and specific aesthetic, titanium is still not as easy or affordable to work with as, say, steel. That’s why the brands that do know how to wield the metal exceptionally well catch our attention. The following everyday carry loadout features some of our favorite titanium gear.
Article Overview
Aviator Titanium Wallet
Wallets come and go, but Aviator’s Titanium Wallet is perhaps the most luxurious card holder on the planet. Made in Germany with 99.9% pure grade 1 titanium, the wallet spends 6 hours CNC-milled in Bavaria before being hand-finished to this smooth texture you see here. Where other slim wallets hold a handful of cards, this minimalist unit holds up to 20 cards securely which can be accessed via a pull-strap system. Plus, its modular system allows it to be customized with a coin tray, AirTag holder, or cash clip (all available in titanium). Aviator also backs up its craftsmanship with a lifetime warranty with purchase.
Stilform ARC Gel Pen
Ballpoint pens seem to be the ubiquitous choice for a pocket-sized pen, but you can’t beat the effortless glide of a gel pen. Billed as the world’s first gel pen to utilize a magnet to ensure click alignment, Stilform’s ARC is a minimal masterpiece. Built with grade 5 titanium, the angular writing utensil stretches 5.6” long, weighs a perfect 1.3oz, and fits Pilot Hi-Tecpoint 0.5mm refills.
Terrain 365 Narwhal-AT Titanium
Terrain 365 was founded in 2016 under the banner of Prometheus Design Werx before establishing themselves as their own brand a couple of years later. Taking its Invictus platform, the brand swaps steel for Terravantium, a proprietary dendritic cobalt alloy that literally cannot rust or corrode. Sporting a beautifully Deco-inspired design, the Narwhall-AT is also built with a titanium frame, ceramic bearings, and Hyperglow pivot rings, helping it handle saltwater immersion.
Timex Giorgio Galli S2Ti Swiss Made Automatic
Timex is known for its effortlessly affordable timepieces, but every now and again it dabbles in the luxury category. Case in point, the Giorgio Galli S2Ti is arguably their most prestigious watch with an incredibly mid-century minimalist design. Paying homage to the brand’s designer and chief director, this titanium version with a forged carbon mid-case still features a 38mm case size and Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, showcased through the caseback.
