Titanium watches have an undeniable appeal—they are lightweight, rugged, and built for real-world use. I've extensively covered titanium watches on Balance & Bridge, explaining their benefits and why they make such great daily wearers. RZE has built its reputation around this material, crafting adventure-ready timepieces that balance durability with function. The new Resolute Pro, particularly in the Spruce Green ( I promise the dial is green) Special Edition, is a prime example of what the brand does best: combining cutting-edge materials with everyday wearability.
RZE Resolute Pro Review: A Brand Built on Titanium Innovation
RZE set out to create tough, comfortable tool watches, and it has become a leader in titanium construction. From the early days of the Resolute to its dive-ready Endeavour series, the brand has consistently refined lightweight durability. Balance & Bridge has featured several of RZE’s watches in buying guides and ‘best of’ lists, recognizing their ability to blend adventure-ready specs with modern design. The Resolute Pro is the latest step forward, improving on past models with thoughtful upgrades.
First Impressions: Lightweight, No Compromise
The first thing you notice about the Resolute Pro is just how light it is. At just 60g without the bracelet (120g with), it’s almost unnoticeable on the wrist—until the dial catches the light. The Spruce Green color shifts from deep forest green to nearly black depending on the angle, giving it a dynamic presence. Polished indices and an applied logo add just enough refinement to contrast the tool-watch toughness.
Thanks to RZE's UltraHexTM coating, the watch feels solid despite its weightlessness. The UltraHexâ„¢ coating protects the titanium case and bracelet from scratches and ensures they maintain their clean, brushed finish. The 40mm case size, paired with a 10.5mm thickness and 46mm lug-to-lug measurement, makes for an easy-wearing field watch that suits a range of wrist sizes.
A Closer Look: RZE’s Mastery of Titanium
RZE continues to push the limits of titanium, and the Resolute Pro takes it a step further. The case and bracelet are coated in RZE’s proprietary UltraHex™, increasing hardness to 1200Hv for superior scratch resistance. The brushing gives it a clean, precise look that plays well with the watch’s durability.
The upgraded bracelet features an ‘on-the-fly’ micro-adjustment clasp, allowing for quick sizing changes. Whether accommodating wrist expansion throughout the day or adjusting for comfort, this is a practical and well-executed addition. The bracelet also tapers from 20mm at the lugs to 16mm at the clasp, ensuring a sleek and well-balanced look.
The Movement: Reliable Performance
Powering the Resolute Pro is the Miyota 90S5 automatic movement. It’s a no-date variant, keeping the dial clean and symmetrical. The movement’s slim profile helps maintain the watch’s 10.5mm case thickness—ideal for those who prefer a low-profile fit. With a smooth 28,800vph beat rate and a solid 42-hour power reserve, it delivers dependable timekeeping without unnecessary bulk.
On the Wrist: Built for Everyday Use
What makes the Resolute Pro stand out is its versatility. It’s comfortable enough for daily wear yet durable enough to handle rugged conditions. With 100m of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a Viton® gasket for added protection, it’s ready for anything. The sapphire crystal, treated with an inner-side Super-AR coating, ensures clear legibility in all lighting conditions.
The Spruce Green edition also carries a deeper purpose. RZE’s partnership with Project Forest means that 15% of each sale supports rewilding efforts in Canada, helping Indigenous communities restore traditional land use. The caseback engraving and included patch acknowledge the trees planted through each purchase. It’s a rare example of a tool watch that not only performs in the field but also contributes to its preservation.
Final Thoughts: A Field Watch That Gets It Right
RZE has struck an ideal balance between durability and refinement with the Resolute Pro. The lightweight titanium case, ultra-scratch-resistant coating, and practical design upgrades like the micro-adjustment clasp and heated enamel dial make this one of the most compelling field watches available today. The shifting tones of the Spruce Green dial and the watch’s environmental connection adds an extra layer of interest.
For those looking for a watch that disappears on the wrist, holds up to real-world use, and carries a meaningful story, the Resolute Pro Spruce Green delivers. Whether you’re an explorer, a minimalist, or just someone who appreciates a well-built watch, this one won’t disappoint.
