Great mix of elegant and tooly. First rotating bezel ever. Lindbergh. Pocket-watch style caseback. Unique complication. If you know you know!

I wasn’t loving the leather strap it came with- but this one has me wearing the watch 3x as often! It’s crazy was a strap can do.

Yes! Just not as big - this one is 38mm vs 47.5mm. One thing that is crazy that I found out is that the original was also the first watch with a rotating bezel designed by Weems! 🤯

I still can’t get over how much I love this watch. The typeface of the numerals on the internal bezel is phenomenal and with the blue dial it’s got a strong Americana vibe. I wear it on a bronze-matching colored suede strap too which dresses it up a bit. Very versatile.

Hits way above its weight in terms of quality for money. Movement is surprisingly accurate given it might be cheaper to replace than fix whenever the time comes. Very pleased with the finish quality of case and dial. When you find a zelos you love, it becomes a favorite regardless what else is in the collection. Among the best micro brands with a real design language that doesn’t copy cat but stands on its own.

In total it's five time zones. The main one is set via crown. The 4 subdials are each additional 24hr time zones w/ night/day indicators set via recessed pin push on the edge of the case, one pusher for each dial.

Yes- four time zones- so it is five total. They each have day/night indicators via the sun vs blue + 24 hr markers.
