This luxury watch for less than €700 will shake up the watch industry

A newcomer to the dress watch market is causing a sensation. With its elegant design and high-end finishes, this timepiece promises to shake up the codes of affordable luxury. Discover why this creation could well become the new must-have for watch enthusiasts.

A concentrate of refinement in a compact case

Zelos, a brand known for its diving watches with unbeatable value for money, is launching into the world of dress watches with the Nova 37mm. This new model features revised proportions and a redesigned dial:

  • Diameter: 37 mm
  • Thickness: 9.2 mm (including domed sapphire crystal)
  • Width between horns: 20 mm
  • Horn to horn distance: 43.5 mm
  • The polished stainless steel case features a stepped construction that minimizes its visual presence on the wrist. Weighing just 41.5 grams (without strap), the Nova 37mm offers exceptional wearing comfort.

    A dial that captivates the eye

    The dial of the Nova 37mm adopts an elegant and refined “sector” style:

  • Applied and polished Arabic numerals
  • Polished frame segmenting the layout
  • Zelos logo subtly integrated at 6 o'clock
  • Seconds counter at 6 o'clock
  • Among the five variations offered, the version with a mother-of-pearl mosaic dial stands out in particular. Combining white mother-of-pearl in the center and pale blue on the periphery, it offers a fascinating play of light.

    A proven Swiss movement

    At the heart of the Nova 37mm beats the hand-wound ETA/Peseux 7001 caliber:

  • Frequency: 21,600 vibrations per hour
  • Power reserve: approximately 42 hours
  • Neat finishes: blued screws, Geneva stripes, gold engraving of the Zelos logo
  • This Swiss movement, a true benchmark in the industry since the 1970s, guarantees reliability and precision.

    A bracelet that enhances the whole

    The Nova 37mm comes on a high quality black Horween leather strap:

  • Integrated quick releases
  • Vintage style contrasting stitching
  • Oversized pin buckle
  • Horween leather, renowned for its softness and durability, ensures immediate comfort without a break-in period.

    A quality-price ratio that defies the competition

    With a starting price set at €685 for the steel models, the Nova 37mm stands out as a serious alternative to high-end dress watches:

  • Domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment
  • Transparent sapphire crystal case back
  • Waterproof 50 meters
  • Decorated Swiss movement
  • In a market where prices are soaring, Zelos proves that it is still possible to offer a quality watch at an affordable price.

    The Zelos Nova 37mm manages to combine elegance, build quality and affordability. With its refined design and careful finishing, it stands out as a wise choice for those looking for a versatile dress watch without breaking the bank.
