No one does dials quite like Zelos! I have a bronze Hammerhead with lume infused carbon and it is truly incredible. And a Spearfish with textured copper. You really have to hold them in your hand to appreciate them😊

I took probably 50 super macro shots so I could pick the right ones to show it off! I agree!

Zelos makes great watches.

@dharminnaik5473 5 месяцев назад

I’ve ordered mine after umm-ing and arr-ing over the Eagle Ti, which I really wasn’t impressed with the case on. I was caught between this and the Henry Archer time only five meteorite dials which also have colour applied. But I think they use a coloured sapphire, which I’m not too keen on. I can’t wait to get my hands on this next week and take it on holiday! The perfect multipurpose holiday timepiece to wear in the pool and at night!

@mauricedefranca3103 5 месяцев назад

The CW C63 GMT has been on my shopping list for a while but at half the price this Zelos makes a very compelling argument.

@Jokerz32 5 месяцев назад

Very good review, Zelos designs are really good, I bought one a couple of years ago, and in the lapse of two years I now own 6. My Zelos are getting more wrist time than other brand, perhaps because their micro-adjustment clasp, the anti scratch resistant, or probably their eye catching design. Again great video, outstanding quality.

The build quality on the one Zelos Horizon II GMT i managed to buy is amazing. Good luck getting the colorway you want tho lol.

@progguy10 5 месяцев назад

i get the email and buy it when it launches. never had an issue. you do have to be on these guys mailing lists. there making more per color way these days though and often there are a couple days passing before even the hottest color way sells out

@MrBacchus18 5 месяцев назад

Zelos definitely have their own design language which I don't care for. At least it's not generic. I have a Spearfish GMT "bumblebee"and I do like it.

@richardpool9970 5 месяцев назад

Really like the meteorite dial on this Mako but I still think the Signum Cuda Meteorite looks even better. Glad to see you changed your mind on Zelos. Love my Zelos even though I had a few problems but seems I do with most microbrands. They all get sorted but not had as many issues with the big brands.

@Televisiontechnology 5 месяцев назад

I like the logo - understated, simple, symmetrical - unlike the Cristopher Ward pixel mess. That aside, I'm on my 3rd Zelos - well executed and good quality watches.

@CasualWatchReviews 5 месяцев назад

Oooh I love the CW twin flags logo! but 'Zombie Force' is growing on me. This watch actually really impress me.

@AQBPlays 5 месяцев назад

AR coating is my biggest gripe with the brand

@CasualWatchReviews 5 месяцев назад

I need to see if there is another brand with a domed sapphire that does it better. This is the second watch with a ‘very domed’ sapphire that seems to reduce the AR coating

@shinjukutrain 5 месяцев назад

Nice dial and bracelet. That GMT hand is odd in purple though, it needs to contrast more with that beautiful dial.

@ANiCKiN 5 месяцев назад

Same issue 😕

@RageAgainstTime 5 месяцев назад

The AR coating still has the same issue as my Zelos Blacktip Meteorite and that's a negative for me.. It reflects everything on the glass when outside. I wish they would improve on that. I've been seeing San Martin watches at half the price with better AR coating. Thanks for the review! Saved me $600 bucks!

@CasualWatchReviews 5 месяцев назад

I think it’s because of the dome I was chatting to some watch collecting friends last night about it.

@TheShotenZenjin 5 месяцев назад

@@RageAgainstTimeIt's hard to argue with his assertion that the price of this watch is an "absolute bargain" (of course if the watch appeals to the buyer). I guess everyone will have pet hates about what will turn them off a particular watch, but for me AR coating has never been a problem in practice... just have to occasionally slant my wrist a little when outside. The clincher for me is the dial... a stunning little slice of the history of the universe from 4.5 billion years ago on my wrist!

@RageAgainstTime 5 месяцев назад

@@TheShotenZenjin oh yes! No doubt about it! The dial is magnificent, like I mentioned, I have the meteorite blacktip and I love that watch! The price was similar and purchased on release day so my only observance was about the AR coating as this dial is so beautiful that it deserves a very nice clean look without much reflection but that's just me. You will still love the watch!

Damn I ordered the MOP gmt this morning and then I hear you say that you can feel the rotor with this watch-that’s my pet peeve. hopefully it’s not too bad bc this piece seemed so promising for the itty bitty wrist committee lol

@watchdogpodcast239 5 месяцев назад

I had a few when I first got into the hobby. I like the interesting designs, but I never found the quality to be all that great. I always root for them though. The brand has built an impressive fan base

@watchdogpodcast239 5 месяцев назад

@@CasualWatchReviewsthe last one I ordered had a clasp which was pretty much inoperable. Would not close. They have great customer service, but I just decided to be done with them after that. Just an overall change in collecting philosophy I guess. Buy less and buy better

im new to zelos i have two. for what i paid they are actually kind of wild quality

@progguy10 5 месяцев назад

I have the black mop mosaic from the last batch. it’s my everyday watch i love it to death. i am going to got buy the new white mop as this is my favorite watch in my collection i love how in some lights its a classy black dive watch but the right light and it looks out there as hell. and i think the white might be even better

@HOMELESSG0D 5 месяцев назад

@cedarcanoe 5 месяцев назад

Zelos sure are a very innovating brand. The design is a bit over the top for me, although the dial is just wow.

@markwheeler4417 5 месяцев назад

Obscure detail time(TM): The rectangle on the seconds hand seems to be a match for the style of the minute hand and has the same width as the minute hand (at least from the video footage). My guess is it is designed to compliment that minute hand rather than the indices.

@CasualWatchReviews 5 месяцев назад

Yep, that could be it. I didn’t draw that conclusion after all the macro shots but that could be it.

@salembeeman370 5 месяцев назад

Great review - but I disagree about the seconds hand. I like it and it balances off the hour/minute hands. Agree purple does not work for me. Red would pop.

@CasualWatchReviews 5 месяцев назад

Totally understand that! Thanks for watching!

@williamsipe1151 5 месяцев назад

You can adjust an office GMT without altering the main hands to. I prefer caller, but see the appeal of traveler's

@subisisniki 3 месяца назад

Errr, the clasp is similar to Tudor's T-fit

@CasualWatchReviews 3 месяца назад

Thats not accurate… the T fit has a fold over for starters, is more angular and in the case of the pelagos has a spring loaded system.

COSC certification is very important for any watch especially an automatic GMT. Zelos doesn’t have it.

@CasualWatchReviews 5 месяцев назад

Hey Douglas. COSC is important and I actually asked Christopher Ward about this. It’s much more expensive to have COSC certify a GMT than a normal 3 hander. The only COSC GMT I have is that Bremont and thats still right on the line of what is should be at +6 and that was over 4 grand.

@tngchinghwa 5 месяцев назад

buddy, it's $600 watch, go look at swiss brands if you are concern about COSC

@douglascohen2521 5 месяцев назад

@@tngchinghwa they could put a Selllita SW330 COSC certification. It’s 345 dollars retail for the movement! Or else their is very little difference btw a San Martin or the Seiko. They’re not 600 dollars.

Hands are way too small for my taste. Looks weird.

@CasualWatchReviews 5 месяцев назад

I like the hands in this one, but that also is a big thing for me. I can’t get over the hands on a watch like I can forgive other things. That’s probably why I will never buy an omega seamaster 300 or one of the Mont Blanc watches with the hands that look like a stain glass tulip

@AvicSubfusca 5 месяцев назад

@CasualWatchReviews I like the design, they are just too small proportionally for me. But I'm not in the market for a Zelos anyway so it's a non-issue, really!
