Zelos Swordfish 40mm Titanium - Red Meteorite “Blood Moon”

We've seen plenty of meteorite dials before, which are always interesting due to their extra-terrestrial origin, with intriguing Widmanstätten patterns that add a textured dimension that can play with the light. However, we've never seen a red meteorite dial before, and as far as we know this may well be a first from Zelos.

As well as having an eye-catching red dial with a story behind it, this Zelos Swordfish also excels at night too when the red gives way to some very strong lume in two colors. Zelos are rightly famous for their well lumed dive watches that tend to glow bright and last a long time. Here we have X1 grade (the most expensive option, lasting 60% longer and glowing 60% brighter than standard grade) Swiss Super-LumiNova lume in C3, the brightest color, which gives off a strong green glow on the hands, major indices, and bezel markings. Constrasting with the excellent green lume is a full reverse lume Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 cyan blue lume on the outer track.

Contrasts are very much a theme with this Zelos design, and we can also see contrasting brushed and polished finishes on the titanium case and titanium bracelet, which is stronger and approximately 30% lighter than the equivalent steel. As we'd expect from a Zelos 200 meter dive watch, the titanium bracelet also features screwed links and a diver's safety clasp with a generous six micro-adjusts, and the rest of the specs are equally good with scratch resistant sapphire crystal, a scratch resistant ceramic bezel, and one of the most reliable automatic movements available.
