Titus Tuning Fork watches were actually made with end of stock Omega parts . The case is an Omega 198.0005 and the bracelet 1178/182 .

High grade watch and cutting edge technology of its time. Based around Bullova's Accutron system of using a tuning fork that is vibrated by electro magnets and the vibrations are used as a power source for the watch mechanical parts.
