Review: Nodus Wins Gold With This Two-Tone Bronze Banger!
On October 26th Nodus released a limited edition iteration of their popular Sector Sport line of watches.
Limited to 75 pieces worldwide I was extremely fortunate to have been able to snatch one of these stunning watches.
l've recently been looking towards a bronze cased watch, and though this piece only has a bronze bezel and crown, it definitely scratches that itch. The potential for patina intrigued me and I can't wait for the transformation.
The case finishing is superb. The 3-6-9 raised indices are done very well and really blurs the line between classy and fun.
The movement is the reliable/affordable no-date Seiko NH38. The cost saved by using this movement translates when looking at the quality of this case and bracelet. It's gorgeous. The dial is a sunburst dark grey with subtle brownish hues, looking like a coffee color that complements the gilt indices and bronze bezel and crown. The lume is A-grade BGW9 and is generously applied.
One criticism I have is that the bracelet uses screw to hold the links together and the watch box did not come with a screwdriver tool. Luckily for me I have one on hand, but it would be extremely frustrating if I didn't.
I absolutely recommend this model for anyone that wants a sporty GADA watch with a great balance of charm and class. I'm not sure if this limited edition Sector Sport will ever be re- released in the future, but the other colorways are also amazing and well worth consideration.
Shout out to Nodus for this excellent release. This model just might be one I would buy again in another color. Fantastic watch!!

Newbie on a mission to get all I can out of this beautiful watch journey. My philosophy is that life is too short to not pay attention to the passing of time.
“Nice.”
Nodus has been knocking it out of the park and this is another one. Great pickup and you win for 69 too 🤣😂
The official watch of purdue university?

I know right! 🤣
Lovely watch, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback! We're redesigning our packaging now and will look into a slot for tools.
Very nice. 👍
How do you choose? The entire Sector line is sexy. I haven't seen a photo yet that didn't make me think "That's the one!".
Great watch! Thanks for sharing!

The presentation is actually awesome, but the addition of the tool slot would make a good thing better. I appreciate that you took the time to acknowledge the review. It really matters. I will be a return customer, that Avalon II is on my list. Thanks.
I've got #66 from this small batch run. Mine is running at +2 seconds a day after a week of monitoring. I love the crown knurling. I'm not a huge fan of the tall(ish) case, but the nice rehaut design that is afforded by the case height looks really good. I was a little worried about the long(ish) lug-to-lug for my little kitten wrist, but ended up fitting just fine due to the downturn on the lugs. Great watch!

This is so cool. What a testament to the value of this app. I would never have heard opinions of a watch owner that participated in such an exclusive release. Very cool.
My wrist is 6.5 and the case is nearly perfect IMO. The lugs are a bit long, but the concave design they have helps to reduce the perception of length. The bronze is nice but tends to absorb moisture when touched and I feel like it's hard to wipe away. I don't know if that's just the nature of the material or what. All and all I am very satisfied with this purchase. I also bought a Horween leather strap for it, and I can verify it is very high quality. It's my best leather strap now. Shout out @Wes_nodus and the whole team @Nodus. 🙌
Great looking watch, I like this more than the steel only models!
