    Zelos Watches

    Just wondering if there are any owners of Zelos watches on here and what the general consensus is?

    I've just discovered the brand and they seem quite impressive for the money with decent specs, interesting materials, great lume and original designs.

    The meteorite and forged carbon dials and bezels look interesting.

    Any thought on these??

    I have a Zelos the watches are good although I would have liked mine to be larger.
    Elshan Tang is however a brilliant guy with excellent customer services.

    Thanks, which model do you have?

    I quite like the look of the swordfish and Mako.

    Some of the bigger ones look good too but possibly a bit much for daily wear.

    I’ve got an Abyss 3 Bronze. It’s a really nice. For the money you’d be hard pressed to match the quality. It’s not getting much wrist time at the mo so I may move it on soon though.

    I like the look of the abyss, really impressive but I could see how it might only be worn occasionally.

    Good to hear about the quality though, seems to be the general consensus.

    They look great, and I'd probably have one by now, but for the difficulties with many microbrands - not many are made, they sell out quickly, and import duties are often involved if you're in the UK.

    Mine is absolutely magnificent.
    I got it within very little time of my Breitling Superocean Heritage 57 rainbow, which I love, and it kept it off my wrist for quite some time.
    Built like a tank, beautiful detail on the sandwich dial, lovely green dial, matching date window, incredible lume.
    Buy one.

    Take a look on eBay, there's currently 74 Zelos watches for sale in the UK👍

    Very nice watch. The lume on these is amazing.

    I think that’s the easiest place to get them. The Zelos website is almost entirely sold out at the moment.

    I’ve been looking at the meteorite dial and bezel version which I like. Not sure how the meteorite bezel would hold up to getting bashed.

    I'm a fan of Zelos. I think they make great watches for them money. Previously I've owned a few (pics attached). Both really impressed me, although I've sold both in an effort to simplify my collection down to 3 watches. Their customer support is also great via Elshan.

    Getting one is actually quite easy. Just sign up on their website to their mailing list. You'll get an email before the next launch with a time and date. Postage to the UK was free if I remember correctly, and tax was very reasonable. Just be ready to buy quickly if something you like comes up, as they do tend to sell fast. Or eBay also works!

    Very nice! The full lume dials are interesting, as are the meteorite.

    There is actually quite a bit of choice on eBay currently. I like the forged carbon but none of those currently for sale.

    The meteorite dial and bezel version of the swordfish is currently one of my top choices and an eBay seller has made me an offer. I think I’m a bit hesitant as it’s quite a departure style wise from anything I’ve had before. Very appealing though and I’m tempted to just give it a try.

    I quite like the look of a hammerhead too but worry it’s thickness would make it less versatile. I do have fairly large wrists though.

    Based in Singapore, good watches and difficult to find. I’m trying to find the Zelos Skyrider titanium meteorite but has been impossible. You can register online for the news.

    Mine says hello. Daily wearer.
    Purchased from Serious Watches in the Netherlands. I managed to get a bit of discount too. Excellent people to deal with. Fast delivery and very well packed.

    That is really nice! I like the isofrane on it.

    The crowns really are like a torch, a bit pointless but I love it! Adds some interest.

    I have been wondering what the second crown is for on these??

    Oh and how is the meteorite bezel insert holding up? That is one of my concerns. Does it have a durable coating on top?

    Are Zelos linked to Ventus?

    Ventus is the sister brand of Zelos.

    Hello,

    It does have a coating over it... I did raise my concerns about the bezel with Serious Watches... They have never had any problems with the Meteorite bezel or dial, as the meteorite is mostly iron and nickel it is probably fairly durable.

    I wear mine daily.... at work and home....

    Regards
