The Titoni Seascoper 600 Retro is a substantial 600 m-rated dive watch whose navy, cream, and copper-gold palette gives it a distinct vintage character. The reviewed reference, 83600 S-BO-255, pairs a 42 mm stainless-steel case with Titoni’s COSC-certified T10 automatic movement. In Fratello’s hands-on review, Jorg Weppelink found it comfortable on his 19 cm wrist, while cautioning that its dimensions may overwhelm smaller wrists.
What is the Titoni Seascoper 600 Retro?
The Seascoper 600 Retro is a modern dive watch with retro-inspired colors and details. This article concerns the specific 83600 S-BO-255 reference reviewed by Jorg Weppelink for Fratello on January 25, 2024—not every watch in the Seascoper 600 family. Titoni’s official product page identifies the reference and its styling.

These are the product specifications reported by Fratello’s January 2024 review and Titoni’s official product information. A depth rating is a stated water-resistance specification, not a recommendation to test a watch at that depth yourself.
How the Retro design comes together
The visual idea rests on a restrained combination: a navy dial and bezel, copper-gold hands and applied indices, and cream-colored bezel numerals and text. The aged-looking lume is styled as “Old Radium,” giving the watch a vintage cue without making the overall design look like a reproduction of an older model.
#1 Best Overall
- Stainless Steel case with Black Resin Band
- Black Dial with date window at 3 O'clock
- Luminous markers and hour hands; sweep second hand
- Anti-reverse bezel
- Water-resistant to 200 M (660 feet)
Weppelink describes the case as recalling the “Super Case” shape of a previous-generation Rolex Submariner. That is his design comparison, rather than a Titoni claim. He also points out a detail that may divide buyers: the date disc is white with black printing, which stands out against the dial. His preference would have been a color-matched disc; that is a subjective styling judgment.
What the hands-on review found on the wrist
The dimensions are the most important fit consideration. At 42 mm across, 52.17 mm lug-to-lug, and 14.45 mm thick, the Seascoper 600 Retro has a notably substantial profile. Weppelink wore the watch on a 19 cm wrist and reported that it felt comfortable despite its size. He cautions that it may not suit smaller wrists. As he put it: “The Seascoper 300, with its 12.55mm case thickness, is slimmer and easier to wear, but I had no problems wearing its bigger brother.” That is one reviewer’s wearing experience, not a guarantee of fit for another wrist.

He found the three-row bracelet solid and the clasp’s toolless micro-adjustment easy to use. The 60-click bezel felt tight to him at first, then became easier to turn after repeated use. These are the reviewer’s subjective observations; the review does not present them as results from an independent durability or performance test.

Fratello listed €2,030 as the 83600 S-BO-255’s launch price in its January 25, 2024 review. That is a historical launch price, not a verified current retail or transaction price. A later Fratello article reported that the Retro had sold out as of August 17, 2025; that report does not establish whether one is available now. Titoni’s official page still identifies the 83600 S-BO-255 and provides a retailer-finder route, but a retailer listing is not confirmation of local stock.

Do not confuse this watch with the related 83601 S-BO-255 in Titoni’s US catalog. That catalog lists the 83601 at $2,780; it is a different reference and its listed price is not the launch price of the reviewed 83600. Check the reference number and current stock with a retailer before making a purchase decision.

Who should consider the Seascoper 600 Retro?
- Consider it if you want a full-sized, highly water-resistant diver with a COSC-certified movement, long stated power reserve, and a bracelet with tool-free adjustment.
- Its style suits you if you like vintage-inspired colors and aged-style lume in a thoroughly modern watch, and do not mind the contrasting white date disc.
- Try it on first if your wrist is smaller or you are sensitive to thickness and long lug-to-lug measurements. The review’s positive fit assessment applies to a reviewer with a 19 cm wrist.
- Verify before buying if you are shopping pre-owned or through a retailer: confirm the exact 83600 S-BO-255 reference, condition, and current availability rather than relying on an old launch price or the separate 83601 catalog listing.
