About this entry

74% of key specs known. Missing: thickness, weight, hardening, AR coating, clasp micro-adjust.

Third-generation Mako in 316L steel, a slimmer 300m redesign of the 500m Mako V1/V2 with a Miyota 9015 in place of the Sellita SW200 (Zelos: the V1/V2 bracelet "does NOT fit the V3 Mako"). Sold in batches: 21 December 2019 (Ice, Antique Green, Frost, Teal, Midnight Blue, Meteorite; $449, Meteorite $699, product URLs marked "launch special" though the pages don't say whether the prices were introductory), 12 September 2020 (Vintage Black, Sky Blue, Frost, Teal, Meteorite; $499, Meteorite $699, released with the bronze V3, a separate model), and two steel-cased limited editions of 100 pieces each: Ti-Damascus (27 July 2021, released with the titanium V3, a separate model; Time+Tide calls it "the only steel version" of that release) and Crystallised Ti (21 March 2022). Frost, Teal and Meteorite were made in both 2019 and 2020 with different hands or bezels, so their variant names carry the year. All thirteen listings are in Zelos's Discontinued Models collection. Zelos: 40mm, 46mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, "11.5mm thickness without crystal", 300m, Miyota 9015, 2.5mm-thick vintage-style box sapphire, textured dial with C3 X1 and BGW9 lume (the 2019 copy calls it a 'Whirlpool' guilloché dial), signed crown with lume. Total thickness is not recorded: SeriousWatches lists 14mm, and Zelos's 2025 Mako 300m Diver listings give 12.2mm without and 14.8mm with the crystal, "identical to previous Makos". The 2019 spec list gives a 120-click bezel with a brushed, fully lumed ceramic insert "with 2000 Vickers hardness"; the 2020 list says "Ceramic/Bronze/SS depending on model". Bezel insert per colourway from Zelos's colourway text and the "Material" line of the 2019 listings, otherwise from the photos (noted). Unidirectional bezel, screw-down crown and solid caseback per SeriousWatches; date at 6. AR coating not stated. The 2019 batch was sold on a tropic rubber strap and a Horween leather strap ("Bracelet (For SS models): 316L SS with custom Zelos Clasp" was sold separately as the $89 Mako V3 Steel Bracelet); from the 2020 batch the bracelet was included ("316L SS with quick adjust clasp") with a tropic strap, and the limited editions list only the bracelet. Bracelet: "Quick adjust clasp, Screwed pins and solid end links with chamfered link edges"; three links per row counted from Zelos's photos; micro-adjust type not described. Weight not published.
