"Selling out quickly" really means "Gone in seconds", I once did not get my desired watch because I messed up while typing, but got another one which I am still happy with. I wish they would produce larger batches, I am sure they would sell them all. I own three of their watches, they really are great and I have nothing to add to your review. Zelos is one of my top brands. Enjoy your watch!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I absolutely understand the hype after this model 👌👌

On their last release (of the Blacktip Titanium) they increased production to 300 and some dial options are still available. I'm not sure how many of each they are making of this new GMT.

@@TheBimmer74I did not know they increased production, thanks. So there is hope for my next try to get one. I will skip the current release though since I need to save money and I already have a titanium (non-GMT) Mako.

Nice looking watch! I like the dial colour combination and the lume looks really good. The on the fly adjustment is so handy and the bracelet in general looks top quality. Nice touch with the bonus watch roll too! Thanks Kieron, top job as always mate 👍

By some miracle the stars aligned and I got the Zelos Mako lll GMT (#231 of 250 total) rocking the 9075! And the one I got was the blue meteorite dial….the most expensive at $629.00 USD. It was V-1. I like it better than V-2 . One word on that V-1 watch……WOW! The only other micro brand using the Miyota 9075 is the Jack Mason out of Texas. It runs a hair under $1K. The Zelos and the Jack Mason both come with bracelets. My Zelos came with an Oyster with an amazing on the fly adjust and the Jack Mason comes with a Jubilee. Thanks for the info and super vid!

The swordfish I just got is SO hyped up (that's the 40mm TI emerald green, titanium bezel and bracelet) that some retailers on eBay are ALREADY selling it like 20% above retail and it's STILL not sold out?! It's either that of the black tip... but I can't justify the difference in price (even wit hthe movement) and the blacktip is kind of way over the top - hardened titanium and a blacket out dial...??? Really? Who is this for, Joe Rogan? Lol But hey there are like 5 left as we speak!

I just bought my first Zelos. It's the Blacktip Titanium in blue MOP. It's a fabulous watch. I would get this one too, but only if they out the 24 hour markers on the chapter ring and offered a 120 click unidirectional dive bezel. Then I could have both functions in one dive capable watch. My only criticism of this watch is that the bezel should be 48 click not 60 for a GMT.

@pponcedeleon 2 ай бұрын

I think it’s a 48 click GMT bezel. Other reviews state 48 clicks and in those you can see while they turn the bezel that it’s 4 clicks per dial hour marker.

This black variant looks better than expected. The reflection on the crystal is sure crazy for all of this model. Hopefully El can do something about it in the future.

Hello and thanks for this video. I've got the same issue with Zelos than with Phoibos, theire watches are really well made, with good specs and at fair prices. But they are only creating divers. 😢

Zelos is great, but I think I'd go Traska everyday if we're talking king of affordable microbrands. I do love the Tudor style micro-adjustment, but that thickness is rough.

Love it but the AR coating still kills it for me. I have the Meteorite Blacktip and that was my only complaint about it where I do not seen an improvement. Maybe if they did a flat crystal instead, we could appreciate those beautiful dials much more with less reflection! Great review!

@TopTierTicker 2 ай бұрын

Yeah... That's the only proper negative. The crystal is a lovely shape and I enjoy the blue hue... But reflections are not great

I have previously owned a fair few, but there is something about their designs that have made me struggle with the watches.

Fauxtina looks wrong to me and it's the dials that turn me off Zelos. I find most too blingy though quality otherwise always looks good. I've made it a bit of a project to find the most affordable Miyota 9075 traveller GMT. So far the Tisell (once the go to brand for an Explorerlike before Ali was a thing) is winning by a big margin. $285 on their Korean site, Decent quality watch too.

I have 3 Zelos - love them all…but the watch roll? Garbage. The cushions are rock hard, and simply do not bend, or squeeze to accommodate the watch. In addition the little guide bars on the side of the cushions are so tight, they cause grief in inserting the cushions….

Many Zelos models have one thing off in the design that keeps me from buying. I don't like the aged lume markers on this one.

It's good to be picky 👌 stops the collection getting out of hands. You need to try a Zelos at some point, I think you'll be super impressed. Kinda puts other micros to shame really
