Nodus mini review

Again, many thanks to @Edge168n for the charity raffle and this fine Nodus Sector Deep Blue Orthodox.

Here are a few observations and comments I have for this piece. I really like the overall fit and finish.

The dial is spectacular with bold, blocky indices and hands that are easily readable at a glance.

The chapter ring is notched at each marker, which adds depth.

The bezel seems ready to serve multiple uses, having a 60 minute reference as well as 12 hour markers which could be used to monitor a second time zone.

At first I hadn't noticed but there are nifty little green pips at each hour marker on the bezel-subtle but adds a nice touch of contrasting color.

The caseback is nicely treated, the bracelet well made with individual threaded pins.

Nodus included their proprietary Nodex quick micro adjust clasp which I really like!

This watch is in such 'like new' condition that the little plastic protector is still adhered there!

Some specs: the case measures 38mm, and the bezel comes in at 42mm. A 47mm lug to lug length fits well for me and it's 13.7mm thickness wears unobtrusively. I am a Diver and this will definitely go into the water and I'm confident of it's 500m depth rating!

About the only negative critique I could offer is the crown marking. For the uninitiated, it would be helpful to know, but once a person has worked with a screw down crown, it seems unnecessary to have to announce instructions on how to secure it.
