Introducing the Tutima M2 Mara Safari Chronograph – a watch that’s as robust as it is meaningful. With its safari green dial and durable titanium case, this new release from Tutima Glashütte is designed for those who seek adventure and value precision. But beyond its rugged exterior and high-performance capabilities lies a deeper purpose – supporting the Mara Elephant Project in Africa.

The watch’s safari green aesthetic, from the dial to the durable rubber strap, instantly evokes a sense of the outdoors. It’s a timepiece that feels right at home in both wild terrains and urban environments. The titanium case is particularly well-suited for adventurous wearers – lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and pressure-tested to withstand depths of up to 300 meters (30 ATM). Whether you’re hiking through rainforests or diving into the ocean, the Mara Safari is equipped to handle the extremes of nature.

A standout feature of this model is the chronograph function, powered by the Tutima Calibre 310 automatic movement. Its 62-hour power reserve ensures reliable performance over extended periods without the need for winding. The integrated pushers, textured for better grip, make operating the chronograph seamless even in challenging conditions. The dial is protected by a 2.5-mm-thick sapphire crystal that’s doubly antireflective, meaning you won’t struggle with glare even in direct sunlight.

Of course, durability is only one side of the story. The Mara Safari Chronograph also stands out for its strong connection to conservation efforts. With each purchase, a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the Mara Elephant Project, an initiative dedicated to protecting elephants in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara regions. These areas are not only home to a rich diversity of wildlife but are also under threat from illegal poaching. The project, led by CEO Marc Goss and his team, focuses on training rangers, monitoring elephant populations, and fostering peaceful human-wildlife coexistence.

This partnership with the Mara Elephant Project makes the Tutima M2 Mara Safari a truly special edition. It’s a watch that doesn’t just look good on the wrist – it carries a message of protection, reflecting the very meaning of the name Tutima, derived from the Latin word “tutus,” meaning safe and secure. The personal connection between Tutima and the project is significant, with Goss himself wearing a Tutima chronograph, a cherished family heirloom passed down from his father, who was a ranger and pilot.

On the technical side, the watch impresses with its functionality. The 46.5mm case houses an automatic movement that powers the hour, minute, and small seconds hands, along with chronograph counters for 60 seconds, 30 minutes, and 12 hours. The watch also includes a date display and is finished with an antique grey rotor featuring Tutima’s gold seal, a nod to the brand’s tradition of fine craftsmanship. The Super-LumiNova treatment on the hands, indices, and rotating bezel ensures that the time is easy to read, even in low-light conditions – perfect for those who enjoy night-time expeditions.
