The Saxon One M
At €1,590 on leather, the Saxon One M is the least expensive watch Tutima builds in Glashütte. The sapphire caseback shows why the price is the surprising part.
The "M" stands for Midsize. At 40mm, it sits 2mm below the standard Saxon One, a proportion that reads quieter on the wrist without losing the line's architectural character. The case is built around sharp, pyramid-shaped geometry — flat planes meeting at precise light edges that shift as the wrist moves. Tutima introduced it at Baselworld 2017.
Inside runs Caliber 330, automatic, with day-of-week and date. The rotor carries an 18-karat gold seal. It is a production workhorse — the same movement found in the Grand Flieger Airport three-hand models — and it arrives here with the same Glashütte finishing applied across the full-size Saxon One range.
Two dial colors are offered: Maroon Brown and Steel Blue. Both feature Super-LumiNova on the hands and indices. The crystal is slightly domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating on both sides. A sapphire caseback shows the movement, its rotor, and its finishing — details usually hidden at this price. Water resistance is rated to 10 bar.
The Maroon Brown comes on leather as Ref. 6121-01 at €1,950. The Steel Blue, Ref. 6121-04, starts at €1,590 on leather and reaches €1,950 on a polished-and-brushed stainless steel bracelet.
The full-size Saxon One houses Caliber 521, which includes Tutima's patented in-house central minute hand chronograph module. The M does not carry that complication. What it does carry is the same case architecture, the same sapphire specifications, the same movement finishing, and the same factory of origin. The M is 2mm smaller and several hundred euros closer.
