About this entry

80% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, crown.

One of three Swiss-automatic lines (Avant, Visionary, Gallant) that Zelos launched on Kickstarter in March 2017 and listed on zeloswatches.com in April 2017, all on the same 40mm case in 316L steel or CuSn8 bronze. Zelos numbers the Avant colourways instead of naming them: A-1 ("Steel with Black Dial") and A-2 ("Steel PVD coated with Black Dial", rose-gold-tone hands and indices) are this model; the bronze A-3 (Avant Bronze) and the bronze A-4 with an STP skeleton movement (Avant Skeleton Bronze) are separate models. All four listings are sold out and in Zelos's Discontinued Models collection. Zelos's spec list (shared by the series): 40mm, 11mm thick (not stated whether that includes the crystal; SeriousWatches and aBlogtoWatch also give 11mm), 20mm strap, 50m, sapphire crystal, "Swiss SW200" (grade not stated; a 2017 movement, so the SW200-1, as Sellita's SW200-2 dates from 2026), multi-layered dial (sunburst-brushed and engraved stepped sections under a raised minute ring). Lug to lug 43mm per aBlogtoWatch and SeriousWatches. AR coating per SeriousWatches ("sapphire glass (with an AR coating)"), side not stated. The semi-skeletonised dial shows part of the movement; date at 6 (photos; SeriousWatches "Date: Yes"). No lume: Zelos's A-4 listing says luminous hands were "new for the Avant range", and none shows in the A-1 or A-2 photos. Display caseback from the shared photo of the Swiss-automatic lines on the listing (a steel case with a sapphire back, on a strap with a deployant clasp). Each watch came with two leather straps with quick-release spring bars, Horween and croc-print (Zelos: croc-print for the steel models), and a deployant clasp; no bracelet. The A-2's PVD coating is cosmetic (no hardness claim); it photographs black on Zelos's site and dark grey in SeriousWatches' photo. Crown, crystal shape and weight not published. aBlogtoWatch gives Kickstarter early-bird pricing for the Avant from about $388; the sold-out listings show $599.
