RZE builds no-nonsense tool watches for people who actually use them. Their titanium cases, scratch-resistant coatings, and reliable movements deliver real durability at fair prices. We carry RZE because they deliver genuine tool watch functionality without the hype or markup, making them perfect for those who need a watch that works, not one that just looks tough.
The Urbanist is RZE's answer to a simple question: what does a no-compromise daily watch look like for someone who lives in the city? The answer is 36mm of UltraHex-coated titanium, a solar-powered Miyota movement with a lifetime guarantee on the power cell (rest of watch comes with 2 year warranty), and a profile slim and light enough that you'll stop noticing it's there. Which, for a daily wearer, is exactly the point.

Our Take
The Urbanist is what happens when you strip a field watch down to exactly what you need for city life and nothing you don't. At 36mm it wears close to the wrist without demanding attention, the titanium case keeps it featherlight, and the solar movement means you genuinely never have to think about it. RZE backs the power cell with a lifetime guarantee, which is the kind of confidence that's hard to ignore at this price point. The Metropolis blue dial is clean and contemporary without trying too hard, and the nylon elastic strap makes it one of the most comfortable daily wearer in the RZE lineup. This is the watch you put on in the morning and forget about, in the best possible way.
Who This Watch Is For
• Anyone who wants a serious titanium watch without the serious price tag. $289 for UltraHex-coated titanium and a sapphire crystal is genuinely hard to beat
• Smaller-wristed buyers who are tired of being told 40mm is "standard". 36mm sits proportionally and comfortably in a way most modern watches don't
• People who've had quartz watches die on them at inconvenient moments. The solar movement and lifetime power cell guarantee solve that problem permanently
• A strong entry point for someone curious about RZE before committing to the Resolute Pro
