I Couldn’t Believe How Much This Costs! Zelos Nova Tantalum!

[@DA_Karas]

Jayson never fails to crack me up in these videos

[@Majstroyale]

Wow that was fast, sold out in a matter of seconds. But I managed to order one. Can't wait to see this beauty in real life!

[@DesignAtelier]

Congratulations! It’s a lovely piece worth the wait.

[@Mg_L.A.]

Got lucky too, I hope it's as beautiful in person

[@westonraske8152]

Zelos is my #1 microbrand, and even though I’m not going after this one, I truly enjoyed seeing it up close in your camera lense and I’m thrilled Zelos once again broke new ground with a unique blend of aventurine, meteorite, and tantalum in one gorgeous package. Well done, sir, That’s a keeper.

[@DesignAtelier]

Yeah this one is indeed too special to let go.

[@Majstroyale]

Zelos never left. What a lovely watch!

[@DesignAtelier]

correct!

[@PocketWatchTime]

I tried to buy the tantalum version - it sold out while it was in my cart and processing payment. 😢

[@DesignAtelier]

I feel yah. Happened to me a couple of times.

[@emeenattoor]

Glad you got the review out in time! Thanks for showcasing the Tantalum case. It's beautiful, but I'm going to wait until Elshan has figured out how to polish the entire case including the tough angular parts. Salmon Nova in SS for me this time!

[@DesignAtelier]

It’s an amazing piece. A definite keeper.

[@lewislee4565]

Polished tantalum will be very expensive

[@emeenattoor]

@@lewislee4565 I don't think it will be much more than this. Half the case for this watch is polished Tantalum. Elshan always finds a way to make things affordable.

[@lewislee4565]

@@emeenattoor if future case design is curvier then polished finish will be more feasible 🤔

[@lewislee4565]

Thanks for releasing this review before launch as it’s great to see it properly in a vid 🙏

[@DesignAtelier]

Glad you liked it! It took a few less hours of sleep and a few espressos to get it done.

[@lewislee4565]

@@DesignAtelierhopefully Zelos will launch a Nova 37mm Aventurine glass inner dial with CNC guilloche outer dial or other variants in tantalum case at lower price points to make it more affordable for enthusiasts not wanting the exotic dial materials 🤞🏽 Got the same blue Artem straps as yours ready to go mate!

[@AbdulRWatches]

Zelos is definitely the King of Microbrands, fantastic looking watch.

[@DesignAtelier]

agree! i always seem to forget to add that to my reviews.

[@Jennie-w6n]

@@DesignAtelier Its definitely NOT the king of micro brands - you sound like a fanboy clown when you spew such nonsense

[@SecronSeven]

I know the community is split over this design, but one thing we can all agree on is that the combo of aventurine and meteorite is a beautiful one. Then you add tantalum and it gets even nore special. I hooe Elshan puts together a mote masculine piece with this combination of materials. Can you imagine a skyraider made with these materials? Im willing to bet more amazing things are to come from Zelos

[@DesignAtelier]

being split over a design can actually be a good thing because it gives the designers input over what works and what doesn’t. Its a matter of knowing which changes to make.

[@Koishishibaman]

Thanks for the review. Always enjoy your strap changes, and perspective. I own a bunch of zelos. Great , unique watches for the money. Really fun to have and wear. This one is a winner, but not for me. Other than to collect it, I won't really use it. Too dressy for me. Love that they kept the 7001 hand wind movement. It is a great one. I have a first gen Nova with the mocha dial on the bracelet. Copy of my king seiko😂. But what a stunner! Thanks again

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Beautiful piece!!

[@AshleyAlgire]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you #amzwatch ! I'm saving up for my next watch.

[@AndraJevtovic]

We can disagree about design of this watch, after all beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I think we can all agree that horological pirate is great watch reviewer.

[@DesignAtelier]

Yes we can disagree. thats the beauty of reasonable discussion. Thanks for supporting both videos!

[@moneymikz]

Too small for me, but very impressive that they can even work with tantalum. I heard the head of Moser complaining about how hard it is to work with and how it wrecks a set of tools with every case.

[@DesignAtelier]

It is very hard to work with. I’m sure we’ll run into the same problem down the road of manufacturing our own collections.

[@marcheezy.]

Dope materials. NakakaZelos.

Meh, I'm not impressed. It would make a decent dress watch if they offered it in a less crazy dial color. That strap is nice but not exactly very dressy either. Put's it in the casual watch category for me and lord knows I have plenty of those watches already.
