Zelos Mako GMT 300M Blue Meteorite
The hits just keep on coming from Zelos, a Singapore microbrand.
My Mako GMT was delivered Tuesday evening by DHL, and is my fourth watch from the brand. Blue is my favorite color, and the PVD blue meteorite dial and polished ceramic blue bezel caught my eye initially, but it was the specs and US$729 price tag for a "true" traveler GMT that cinched the deal. Other dial options are less expensive than the meteorite. The Miyota 9075 specs (accuracy -10~+30 seconds per day) were a bit underwhelming, so I was thrilled with the results of yesterday's timegrapher tests: On my wrist over 36 hours, it has gained 2 seconds, which is very impressive for a watch selling for less than $800. Admittedly, it's a bit early to make any long term judgment, but based on past experience with the brand I'm optimistic. Some specs: • DIAMETER : 40MM • LUG TO LUG LENGTH: 46MM • THICKNESS: 12MM WITHOUT CRYSTAL, 14.7MM WITH DOMED CRYSTAL • CASE: 316L SS • BEZEL: CERAMIC WITH POLISHED FINISH • LUG WIDTH : 20MM • MOVEMENT: MIYOTA 9075 TRUE GMT • WATER RESISTANCE: 300M • CRYSTAL: DOMED SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL WITH INNER AR COATING • LUME: SUPERLUMINOVA C3 AND BGW9 • BRACELET: 316L SS WITH UPDATED QUICK ADJUST CLASP The Miyota 9075 movement has a jump 12 hour hand (forward and backward) that increments or retards 4 hours per full turn of the crown in the jump hour crown position; the time and date settings are similar to my 16710 GMT II (3185 caliber). Power reserve is >42 hours. I'll post an update after wearing the watch for a few weeks, but my initial take is that Zelos has produced another winner.

I haven't had much experience with the Miyota 9075, but those accuracy readings look great. Congrats on the new watch - that blue meteorite dial is gorgeous.

Another great feature of this watch is the really nice quality glidelock style bracelet.

BTW, I've been wearing it every day for over a week, and it's still dead on without resetting the time. Pretty amazing for a $726 automatic watch that's not COSC certified.
