I bought my first Zelos this year, a Titanium Hammerhead with a meteorite dial. I'm very happy with it. I've been looking for a watch like this for awhile. Zelos watches are very nice but they can sometimes be difficult to get. Sometimes selling out immediately. This can be very annoying. I love the watch roll that they provide with the watch. Much better than a crappy box.

Zelos had never disappointed. I have the Swordfish Ti full lume frost. But I find your Teal SS versin more beautiful. I had no luck with buckles at that time Zelos used the generic flip lock diver's clasp. I find these new way much better. Not just because of the quick adjust but because of those Omega-ish like double pushers. Zelos is and will be the best microbrand watch.

I've avoided Zelos watches because they tend to be over-designed (but really well made). A bit like a $3 hooker wearing every piece of jewelry from the pawnshop*. These one's however look a bit more restrained. *Allegedly

The teal blue Swordfish 40 has sold out already. I was keen on it up until I realised the color was "teal". There is a political group in Australia called the "teals" and they ruined this watch for me. I'm pretty keen to pick up a Swordfish 40 at some stage though in the future when they release some other colorways, as I really want to experience Zelos for myself.
