Titanium Care: How do I keep my watch case looking good?Updated a month ago
Your Redux watch isn’t just built tough — it’s crafted from sandblasted titanium, a finish that’s rugged, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant.
Unlike polished metals, sandblasted titanium has a matte texture that scatters light instead of reflecting it — stealthy, low-profile, and made for action.
But here’s the deal: even titanium isn’t scratch-proof. And unlike polished finishes, you can’t just buff out scuffs with a polishing cloth—doing that would only make things worse by creating uneven shiny spots.
How to Keep It Looking Sharp
Preventing Wear & Tear
Store it smart – When not on your wrist, keep your watch in its crate box or on a soft cloth to avoid unnecessary contact.
Avoid metal-on-metal combat – Keys, rings, or other hard objects can leave marks. Keep ‘em apart.
Wash it down – A soft brush (like a toothbrush) with warm water and mild soap keeps grime from dulling the finish.
Dealing with Scratches
Forget polishing cloths & metal cleaners – They’ll ruin the matte texture and leave glossy patches.
Try a gentle abrasive eraser – Some fine-grade rubber erasers or fiberglass brushes can help blend out light scuffs. (Test in an inconspicuous spot first.)
For deeper scratches, go pro – A skilled watchmaker can re-blast the titanium to restore the original finish.
Battle Scars or Badges of Honor — Character.
Scratches happen. It’s part of the story your watch tells. Over time, scuffs blend into the sandblasted finish, creating a patina unique to your journey. If you prefer a fresh reset, a proper re-blasting will bring it back to factory condition without compromising the integrity of the case.
Wear it. Own it. Your Redux is built to go the distance to tackle any mission with you.
