About this entry

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

Zelos's first Nova, a slim hand-wound dress watch listed on 9 August 2020 in six colourways; all six listings are sold out and in Zelos's Discontinued Models collection. The 2024 second generation ("Nova 2", 37mm, no lume) is a separate model. Spec list: 38mm, 44mm lug to lug, "7mm without crystal, 8.5mm with crystal", 20mm lugs, 100m, vintage 'box' style crystal and see-through sapphire caseback, BGW9 lume (lume photo: hands and indices), ETA/Peseux 7001 with Côtes de Genève engraving and blued screws, black Chromexcel Horween leather strap, and a steel bracelet with screw links and a butterfly deployant clasp (both in the package). Zelos does not name the case metal; SeriousWatches lists stainless steel (grade not stated), sapphire crystal, push/pull crown, display caseback and no date. Movement grade "Top" per Fifth Wrist's owner review (a search-engine excerpt of Zelos's former Nova 38mm page, which now redirects, also says 'Top' grade); ETA's 7001 grade tolerances are not in the movement file. Five links per row counted from the bracelet photo; clasp micro-adjust, AR coating and weight not stated. Fifth Wrist reports that some owners found straps rubbing against the case.
