This dial design and color are enough of a reason to buy this watch at $425. This watch is rated for up-to 150m of water resistance. Really well executed crown here!įlipping it over, you have a solid screw-down case-back with a geometric engraving. The grip is excellent, and there isn’t any crown or stem wobble. You have an over-sized and signed screw-down crown at the 3 o’clock position that I absolutely love. The crystal has a domed an AR coated inner surface, and a flat top. This design is less of a dirt and finger print magnet, compared to the Baltic.Ī sapphire crystal sits above this, which has a very unique design, with an angular edge that has lots of distortion and aliasing. This is a stepped case design, similar to the Baltic HMS 002 that I recently reviewed, which is pretty much a bezel equipped watch without a bezel and a polished surface to replace it. The lugs are drilled through, but the holes are a bit awkwardly located, both in terms of design and in terms of functionality as we’ll see a bit later. The lugs are quite long, curve down slightly towards the wrist, and have chamfered inner surfaces and polished outer bevels. The case is mostly bead blasted, and has some polished accents along the sides, and on the step case surface.
The dimensions are a bit peculiar on paper, but they don’t look awkward on the wrist. The case measures 38mm in diameter, 47mm from lug-to-lug and 12.75mm in height. Nodus is based out of California, and their watches are assembled and regulated here in the United States but manufactured in Asia. The Sector Field collection is offered in four very interesting dial colors, and costs $425, which includes the metal bracelet. I love field watches, and I love the color blue, and more importantly I love not having to spend enormous amounts of my own money to review a watch that I’m interested in. But when I saw the Marina dial option of their latest Sector Field collection, I had to check this out. But each time they released a new watch, I either didn’t have the money to spare, or didn’t really connect with the design. Nodus have been on my radar from the very beginning of my watch review journey.
