Titan has announced Indian chess sensation Gukesh Dommaraju as its Titan of the Year 2026, marking the occasion with the launch of a limited-edition Grandmaster wristwatch inspired by his historic achievement as the youngest world chess champion.
The special edition timepiece, titled Gukesh x Grandmaster, draws inspiration from the game of chess, featuring an intricate marquetry dial crafted using tiger eye and black agate stones arranged in a chessboard-like pattern. The watch is housed in a high-polished 316L stainless steel case with rose gold plating, complemented by a refined satin finish that enhances its premium appeal.
Powering the watch is Titan’s in-house automatic movement 7ACO, reflecting the brand’s focus on precision engineering and craftsmanship. The model is strictly limited to 500 individually numbered pieces, making it a collector’s edition for watch enthusiasts and chess admirers alike.
Priced at ₹69,995, the limited-edition Grandmaster watch celebrates not only Gukesh Dommaraju’s remarkable journey in international chess but also Titan’s legacy of honouring excellence and timeless achievement.
