The Titan was the Poor Man's Van Horn! It was identical to the Van Horn apart from the cheaper 10K GF case. It first appeared in 1957 and can be found with either the 500 or 500A movement. It has either a white or black dial.

The following Titan is somewhat special. It is thought to be a Hamilton wear test watch and has 1) a display back, 2) a rare 502 movement, 3) a case back with the word "ELECTRIC" stamped in it and 4) applied hour markers on the dial:
