I have 3 Zelos watches, and all are incredible! I wore one of them while watch shopping in Singapore, and the salesmen at both MB&F and Patek Phillip stores were like “hey, is that a Zelos? That’s really cool!” This looks like another hit from the brand.

Another insane release from Zelos. "SWISS MADE" brands would be charging much more for something like this and in my experience price is not indicative of quality. I do own the Halo 8day and many other moderately priced models. Regardless of the length of the warranty I sometimes hear other KZbin reviewers complaining or comparing with other brands about. In Zelos I trust for unmatched after sales service if a problem should arise. They go above and beyond a number printed on a piece of paper. I always enjoy your reviews WC.

Amazing watch for the price. The looks seem polarizing but the perlage being on the outside adds a lot of dynamism under changing lighting conditions. My only reservation with usability of the dual time feature is the local time being on the smaller subdial. Compare it with the Oris 690 movement , which allows for adjusting the larger hour hand and makes it easier to see the home time tied to the day/night indicator. In any case, dual time > gmt imo

Big fan of Zelos, a significant portion of my collection was made by Zelos. The Eagle 2 is a watch that meshed with me well but I normally wear the Aurora, Mako, or Blacktip. This watch is extremely cool from them. Especially the 24 hour complication with the lumed earth. Really unique and cool design. Not perfect for me, I dislike that you can see the entire date wheels but it isn't the dealbreaker for me. Unfortunately comfortably outside of my budget. Maybe I'll end up getting one secondhand down the line

Doesn't Zelos usually command a bit of a premium on the second hand market because each one is a limited run? There's usually no more than 150 produced of a given color variation, and they sell through _fast._

Yeah. Came here to say this. No point in looking at this movement. It makes it harder to focus on the day//night and date functions. The movement isn’t providing anything nice to see. So a nice lacquered dial would be great instead of blurred pearlage.

Interesting watch but hardly a hyper watch. Something about this design feels like it needed a bit more time in the oven. I feel like this would've worked better with an actual dial and the lume shot proves that for me. The see through material doesn't really add anything to this design other than send the eye all over the place. The design doesn't let you appreciate anything. It's so unnecessarily busy because of the see through dial. This is also not skeletonization. It's just exposing the movement. Skeletonized movements remove the extra material to only keep the bare minimum. It's just a dial that shows you what's beneath it. That's it. This was a huge miss for me :/.
