A simple sleek sunray dial design that updates the no-nonsense sports watch with a colourful twist.The Sector Sport watch also comes with a quick-release H-Link strap with the engraved Nodus logo on the clasp. The case also features a fixed bezel, giving the Sector Sport a total height of only 12.5mm.Īn oversized crown helps with winding the Seiko NH38 movement, providing 41 hours of power reserve. The stepped case design is made from highly durable stainless-steel and features an engraved solid screw-down caseback for up to 100 metres of water resistance. The case measures 38mm in diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug. To that end the dial features three-dimensional Swiss Super-LumiNova X1 Grade lume, protected by a flat-top sapphire crystal with a domed underside, aiding legibility even in the most extreme angles or lighting conditions. The Sector Sport took a ‘no frills, all thrills’ approach to their design, using a simple sunray dial layout with no distractions that’s very legible.

The Sector series utilizes the same case and dial design throughout their series, creating a modern interpretation of classic watch genres.
#Nodus watch plus
The textured “sand” dial specific to that colorway, plus a stainless bezel option.Nodus are well known for mixing the classic and contemporary into a style that is completely unique, and the way they use colour in their watches has a lot to do with that. Welcome “back” to the new and improved Contrail II from Nodus. But with a couple of in-person Nodus looks already in the books, this one seems like a pretty safe bet. We’ll do our best to get hands on with one. And again, shipping is estimated for late September. Five different color schemes to pick from. They’re not just blowing smoke in that regard, compared to some other brands that won’t shut up about “cutting out the middle man! saving our customers money!” Good grief, enough with that crap already. (Assembling in the US, testing and regulating, etc…) It also helps keep the costs down. And that bit of leeway truly does also allow the very, very small team at Nodus to do all the work they want to do. Yes they sometimes use a pre-order model (pay now, watches ship later), but with Nodus, the time frame is reasonable. Colors have been picked to match, and instead of a basic square cutout, they angled the lines for a subtle trapezoid, complete with a reinforced frame around the edge. And that date window is anything but forgotten. The date window has moved to the bottom of the dial, at 6 o’clock, and really balances out the look. Comes with either a sapphire insert, or a stainless steel insert, depending on the model (gilt options are limited to sapphire to prevent a clash between indices and bezel). The bezel is a 12-hour, dual-time bezel, which helps you tell the time in a 2nd time zone ( here’s a demo on how, on a different watch). Sapphire insert is shown at the very top of the post. Handsome without flexing.īlack with the optional stainless bezel insert. None of the goofy flash of top side chromed out links or inserts. Nodus makes some of the best bracelets on the market, no matter the cost. If past is prologue, that means the bracelet should be exceptional. Using the best movements and materials they can, assembling and checking the things stateside, and doing their best to keep the price reasonable. The Nodus guys care about that sort of thing.
And it even comes with a nifty regulator card. The movement is a regulated in 4-positions, Miyota 9015. It has presence but it isn’t some wrist-brick. So it’s in the sweet spot for plenty of guys. The Contrail II is 40.5mm wide including the bezel (39mm case width), 12.6mm thick, and the lugs are 20mm. These are not another department store jewelry counter watch.īang-for-the-buck with true artistry thrown in. Especially considering the relatively reasonable price. Their designs are terrific, the materials they source are often exceptional, and the end products have the feel and looks of something both unique and robust. Gilt = some of the warmth of gold but not overdone.īased in Los Angeles, Nodus is a micro brand that really knows what the heck they’re doing. Because having a handsome as hell daily dependable time-teller is the right call for many. Leaning heavily on dive-watch aesthetics yet still possessing aviation design elements, this 200m water resistant, Miyota-automatic movement powered, flat-top box-shaped sapphire crystal equipped wrist watch is… I believe the technical term would be: pretty freakin’ cool. And it could very well supplant a handful of “just not quite right” wristwatches in your box. Non-gilt options also available with a stainless steel bezel. And they’ve just re-released it with a few tweaks and upgrades. The USA-assembled Contrail from Nodus is, frankly, a pretty close to perfect every day watch. Nodus Contrail II – $600 ($675) shipping est.
