About this entry
80% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, crown.
The tantalum version of Zelos's Mirage 8 Days ("Mirage 2"), launched on 10 June 2021; the titanium, Zirc/Ti Damascus and full-sapphire versions are separate models. Zelos describes tantalum as a rare, dense, corrosion- resistant and hypoallergenic metal with a bluish-grey hue that is hard to machine. Sold out and in Zelos's Discontinued Models collection. Zelos: "Each variant is limited to only 25 pieces made" (Worn & Wound repeats it); Monochrome says 25 or 50 "depending on the material" and Time+Tide "25 or 50 pieces per colour", so 25 follows Zelos. No hardness claim for this case. Movement: Zelos names a customised, skeletonised La Joux-Perret twin-barrel 8-day hand-wound movement (32.4mm × 4.8mm, 33 jewels, 21,600 vph, 192h); Monochrome identifies the base as the LJP7500, which is La Joux-Perret's F100; its date is not shown. Grey-tinted sapphire dial over a black PVD movement, power-reserve indicator at 12 and small seconds at 6 (photo). Spec list: 42mm, "48mm Length", "13mm thick" (not stated whether that includes the crystal; Time+Tide says 14mm), 50m, Super-LumiNova C3 and BGW9, sapphire front, back and dial. SeriousWatches (a pre-owned example) gives 48.5mm lug to lug, as does Worn & Wound; Zelos's 48mm is used. Lug width 20mm per SeriousWatches only; its table's "hacking: yes" and "automatic: yes" contradict La Joux-Perret (no stop-second, manual wind) and are not used. Inner AR on the front and back crystals and partial crown guards per Monochrome. "Comes only on the FKM Rubber strap" with fitted end links. Weight not stated.
