I love when a mechanism like this can function even when all human life would end. As an engineer, this is a triumph!
Hi Time Teller,not a lot can be said to ease the pain. Most people don't understand the relationship that some of us have with our Pets?to a lot of us they are as important as family members , hard for some to understand this.But this is how we feel.when you loose an animal it SUCKS. Time will be you're friend.👍
I just got this watch today, paid a hefty price but I can tell you its absolutely beautiful! It will make a great addition to my collection of unique dive watches. Thanks Time Teller for the review!
Zelos has and is continuing to make a lot of impressive timepieces. Mostly divers, but they look like they are all built like tanks. I believe based in Hong Kong, you'd actually find a lot of nice microbrand watches being produced in Hong Kong with impressive specs other than just Zelos.
I actually had a pre-order in the works for the Helmsman 2 in bronze with a blue dial. But, just about a month or so short of it's supposed imminent release, these things sometimes get delayed, I decided to cancel my order.
It had all the things that would tick many boxes. Bronze case, original supercompressor style case, internal rotating bezel, dual screw down crowns, 42mm case size, multiple included strap options, lovely radiant blue dial, rose gold accents to match the CuSn8 bronze case, 300m WR, I believe an ETA Swiss Automatic Movement, if not a Selitta equiv., lots of BGW9 lume on the dial, hands, the cool internal rotating timing bezel has A LOT, and the Zelos Z logo on the 2 crowns themselves... and all for around $400 or so, changes depending on when you jumped into the Kickstarter/Pre-Order Campaign, goes up as orders fill.
So, why did I cancel it? Believe it or not, I actually felt it had too many cool features. IDK, I kept looking at it and although overall it's a handsome piece, I felt it was somehow a bit too flashy and maybe trying just a bit too hard to grab my attention with a lot of aesthetic and design bells and whist;es.
Sounds crazy and doens't make sense that it checks so many positive boxes that it still fails to keep me wanting it. Something just kept hitting me that it was somehow a bit too much going on.. I may regret it later, but such as it is right now.
In the end, I ended up getting a CW C60 Trident Bronze Pro 600. Much simpler, but I think it matched my own concept of what a bronze diver should have and not going too overboard. I'm quite happy with it and it is made extremely well and performs awesome.
Zelos watches all seem super unique, and I’m very happy with my Abyss 2- I believe they are actually based out of Singapore.
The Time Teller you probably are correct with origin of mfg. Not sure if I'd get it, but Zelos is working on an interesting material for a watch case. There is a name and/or technique for this material, but I think it's basically composed of layered titanium that has been individually heat treated and then cnc milled out to form the watch case. What you get is a watch case that has what looks like tiger stripes in crazy colors that titanium can produce when heat treated such as varying degrees of blues and purples amongst others.
Anyways, thanks for showing off the Zelos.
Just like Boldr, I assume the brand is based in Singapore and the watches themselves are manufactured in Hong Kong. I was wondering though, do you guys think these watches are all tested piece by piece to that water resistance rating? I mean, above a certain point, what does differentiate a watch with a 500 m wr rating from a 3000 m watch? Both with helium escape valves, screw dowm crowns, etc. Idk, do you guys know anything about this?
I think I understand your question about WR. I have no idea?
And, realistically, who would be able to go down to such extreme depths and survive to come back and even tell of the results? Would you be that curious to spend serious money to an ocean exploration group or whomever is qualified and has the equipment to take your watch to such extreme depths to verify or bust the claim the watch is supposedly rated to go to? A watch company could claim to go down to 100,000m and I doubt most will ever be able to really verify such claims. For all practical purposes and simple peace of mind, all that most will ever know or need to know is that the watch is supposed to go down to the WR level it was designed to and just take their word for it.
If you're a big company like Rolex, Omega, Seiko, etc.. they'll probably have the financial backing to back their design claims with actual serious testing and provide hard evidence and proof. But, for many microbrands, I suspect they probably dont' really have a way to test their watches to such extreme depths and just recite what on paper and theory their watch design is suppose to be able to do.
Anyone who really knows, feel free to correct me, I don't know everything, just a watch fan taking a guess.
I think testing WR is far more easy. I mean, you don't actually need to take the watch to the bottom of the ocean. There are little pressure chambers or something like that for testing, so telling if a watch can withstand a certain amount of water pressure is relatively easy. That's why I am curious about the differences in that WR range.
Did this watch come out of Bioshock!?
Glad your feeling better and that your back bro.
I'm so sorry for your loss my friend and keep the faith.
Mad love To you! The rainbow bridge hurts at times, but the same time also heals!
“ I’m tired Let’s go to sleep I said” then Jory upload a new video, stayed up all night and looked for a new Zelos!! I just bought a new Seiko Samurai PADI Today!!
A fellow dive watch fan, I think this is awesome. Have just bought both a Tudor Black Bay Burgundy and a Black Bay Bronze and have a Rolex DSSD Jame Cameron on order all from my local Rolex/Tudor AD here in Qatar and really think I might get myself one of these babies!!!
Check out the Zelos Helmsman. It's like a mix between this and the Seiko alpinist, which I know you love.
OK! 4:18 - that commentary is the reason to subscribe to your channel, right there!! Oh, and your entire troll-voice imitation at 3:53 had me on the floor. I imagine that is EXACTLY what trolls sound like. LOL I think you should do a troll imitation in all of your videos, sorta like a trademark thing.. your mannerisms & that voice coming outta your face is just HILARIOUS!
I just received the Zelos Helmsman. I have been really impressed with the watch. I love the super compressor look, and I have been wanting a bronze watch. The Helmsman really scratched that itch.
Love my Zelos Hammerhead bronze.....I’d buy the Abyss ll if my wrist was just a little bigger. Beastly, thick, solid, porthole diver....sweet....especially the green one! Lots to like here.
The Citizen Eco-Drive Professional Diver Men's Watch BJ8050-08E (Ecozilla) has a 6mm mineral crystal, is 18mm thick, and I believe a one piece structure stainless steel case with the solar movement being accessible only from the face. It is rated at 300m and currently priced at about $200. I've often wondered if it would survive at greater depths. The Zelos definitely has a lot of unique features.
Wow, what a beauty! Definitely has that old steampunk diver helmet vibe
Jesus look at that thing haha. I have to say in all honesty I really like the look of the Zelos Abyss 2. That ridiculously thick bronze case and the amazing lume that this watch has are awesome features for sure.
This really is one of those watches you throw on when your having a 'Ahh f¥£k it, I'm going all out kinda day' haha.
Because of its price point I won't be going out to get one of these but I do like it, I reckon Zelos pulled it off here.
Thanks for the review Jory, another awesome watch dude.
Dude props for the new mic, massive improvement on production quality, and sorry about your cat, they will be missed!
Ah, i love love love that internal bezel, the twelve hour extra timezone, i've been thinking to put that in a Seiko SARB017 in stead of the compass ring, perfect!
I'm a fan of bronze. I have the C. Ward Trident C60 Bronze and it has a similar width just not that thickness. I think that it works on you though.
I was so sorry to hear about Ari. My cat is family, but is also calming influence in my life. -- Zelos makes some pretty cool watches. I keep thinking about a NauticFish Thusunt as sort of my gnarly diver.
I like it, very funky. The bronze bezel and design reminds me of the fist bronze diver helmets. Gives it a cool retro look. It's the sort of watch a Jules Verne character would wear.
Jory, thanks for the dedication to your subscribers! Our caring about you transcends the tyranny of distance.🛩🚞🛳🏎 One doesn't need to be 'crazy' to wear the Abyss 2, they just need to feel like the Incredible Hulk! Have to say, love the bronze case. Quite a shift from the typical fare of stainless steel or titanium dive watches. That's one reason I am enamored with the Tudor Black Bay in bronze. As I love ❤️ fast cars, in particular Porsche 911s, I currently don't think this Zelos will fit my persona. Plus, I want to get to three to five watches that I REALLY want to own. As always Jory, FANTASTIC vid. Keep it up Bro!🤜
I love the shirt buddy!!! I hope and pray you are doing better. Glad to see you back to making videos my man. Take it easy and have a great one.
An education there Jory. Never heard of Zelos before but will be checking them out now. Think it looks great on you as you have the erm let's say... stature, to carry it off. Love the bronze on a diver, recently been looking at others a Tudor comes to mind but crazy money! I would have one tomorrow if it was not for the Empire height and at around a thousand bucks, a bargain too. Nice just too thick, the lumed bezel and crowns are another great feature too. A 9 out of 10.
Is it comfortable to wear? Is it possible to use it as an daily watch?
Hello, i think that "the real diving watch" is at your arm...
The DW-5600e can go down at 500m (tested) with special oil add in the case, it's a very know mod. (It work with others G-Shock) 😎
The other watch looks great but 3000m deep seems impossible without the 2 screws down crown and a helium valve to keeps the pressure !?!? 😵
But she still a beautiful "vintage look" diver watch.
Sorry for my english, i'm belgian... 👍😉
Good continuation.
Bye.
Personally, I love it! I like the brass case, and I really love the look of that strap! The gray canvas looks awesome with the leather keepers and works really well with the brass.
That watch is beautiful . A perfect tool for deep sea divers and when you are diving ( Yes , I dive ) watch size does not matter . You most be huge because the watch looks normal on your wrist . The bronze is amazingly beautiful and would age perfectly ..... by the way , that DW5600E -1V , is my default watch to a point that when I don't wear it , people ask me where it is . You are not you without the classic G-Shock , they say .
Jory, I drive my Porsche as hard and as fast as I can, as often as I can. I also have the tickets to prove it))) On a serious note, my buddy is really into Zelos watches and he recently bought the Mako. Touching and good review.
Great to know you're okay. I want an Abyss 2.
That's a nice watch for for someone looking for a big bold brass diver, not my cup of tea but it's cool looking. I just pulled the trigger on an Oris 65, that's more my style, lol. Great job as always.
Thanks for the video! Love the watch! I have 7.75 inch wrists so I could probably pull it off but I have been looking at their Hammerhead Diver in bronze and meteorite dial, a little smaller than the Abyss 2 but still large.
There are automatic watches from Mido that have sub 7mm case thickness. Abyss 2 a cool watch.
Very cool and very unique! Id consider it one day down the track
Great watch...sorry for your loss.
That is the coolest watch I've ever seen! (Next to the Breitling Emergency watch)
Great watch and sound review. One has to understand the concept to fully appreciate it. You sure did 👍
Almost bought this watch when it was up for preorder but I was worried about the thickness. After seeing it, I am so glad I didn't get it.
Jory are we going to see a follow up on the zelos?? What are your thoughts after owning it for awhile??
I bought the same GShock - pleasantly surprised it looks much nicer in real life
Me being a big guy in stature I would wear that watch even it stands out even still. I really like the bronze look even though it is new to me.
Man that thing looks great, especially for that size
I really enjoy your videos and just found your channel. I'm learning quite a bit. But I gotta ask. You spent $1000 on a watch and you don't really remember doing it? You don't know how it got in your collection? I'm pretty sure I'd remember plopping down a G for a watch, amazing as it is. Thanks, and keep on telling us what time it is!
Not subtle, a bit like a subaru. I love both! Do you still own it?
That lume! Feel like it would go perfect with a vintage dive suit. Not usually a fan of bulk cause it's being hammered by the microbrands but I kinda dig it. Speaking of micros what's your favorite? I personally find it hard to dislike most of Dan Henry's line up. I'm not ashamed to rock a quartz lol
Jory hey I just received my zelos Hammerhead and WOW!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WATCH!! OF COURSE I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN ABOUT ZELOS IF I DIDN'T RUN ACROSS YOUR VIDEO WITH THE Abyss 2 I believe... Anyway you say send pictures of are watches so question.. How do we do that?
I love the brinze dive watxh look, but i have rather small wrists, a tad larger than 6.25 in. Do you have any recommendations under 500 dollars, 40mm or under?
Hi Jory, do you still have your Abiss 2? Do you still like it or have you moved to something different?
Regarding your channel and the success of you as a watch reviewer , don't be surprised at all .... you are one of the most charismatic human beings on the planet ( I would say " Talk Show level ) you could talk about donuts , porcelain or keychains ...... and I would still watch your rants . Word .
Looks like something you'd pull off a "Big Daddy" in the game Bioshock! Pretty rad!
I saw a gs box on the rack. What gs is that show it on new vid n wear those Pam kinda miss viewing ur pam
I think that the 3,000 Metre water resistance is entirely appropriate. It looks like it would fit right in with an old-school deep sea diving pressure suit. If you ever get the chance to dive in an atmospheric pressure suit you should definitely wear that watch.
Hi Jory.
Where can one buy one of these Zelos timepieces ?
Can you look into Szanto watches? My brother got me one for Christmas and I love it, but I can't seem to find much about them.
MAN THE HARPOONS!!!
In all seriousness, i think it looks quite good, but the size and thickness is a little much for me
Have to ask: The Zelos Abyss 2 or the Boldr Odyssey ? Love your stuff !
Is there a see through case back for the alpinist????
Not my kind of watch but the Lume is gorgous especially on the crown.
The Abyss 2 in Bronze is the only Zelos watch I would ever buy.
Thanks for the review...that thing is a beast!
I'm an early subscriber... only seven months and 20k subscribers? keep up, you're on to something good!
I like it...That said, it looks like an ashtray on the wrist. It also needs some patina to realize its full potential.
LOL! I was thinking along similar lines. Steam gauge is what came to my mind.
Cool looking watch. A bit chunky for my taste. Cool to learn about though. Hope all is well, brother. Great video.
Yep I'd like one! Thanks T3!
I'm a big fan of watches matching people and their personalities, so for you the Abyss works, you can have a big personality and the watch while nominally a tool watch, won't really be worn by divers, so you can get away with it.
I love your videos! But the thumbnails are kind of confusing because sometimes it is the watch you are wearing and other times it is the watch the video is about.
Lol how is that confusing?? You just explained it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well it isn't consistent and if you see a watch you are interested in, in a thumb-nail the video may or may not be about that watch. I can't tell you how many times I have watched the first 5 seconds of one of your videos to get the watch name and type it into RUclips. I am just a fan explaining to you how a lot of people, myself included stumble through RUclips looking at watch videos.
I personally think it's cool as heck. I would probably never wear it, but I love the look.
The appeal of that deep sea watch is kinda like the appeal of G-Shock watches. You're not gonna run a tank over your watch and you're not gonna roll in the mud with it and you're not gonna throw it from 10 storeys high. Having a G-Shock is just cool. Like your watch is so tough you can try to kill it but you just can't.
I like it. Tough! All the best 3T.
Wow Impressive watch my friend love it ,I'm big fan of big watches ,just a cool piece to own thank you for sharing this monster piece stunning to watch .
I must say that is VERY COOL!! IF ANYTHING I AGREE NOT FOR EVERYBODY BUT..... I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE MYSELF THANKS FOR SHARING.
Wow! That IS a crazy watch; very fun.
Thanks for another great video :)
That "Dangerous Book for Boys" is excellent!
Great channel sir
Would love to see a video on every watch you own.
That's almost as big as a U-Boat. But very cool looking and you can wear it for sure.
Love your work, picture quality way down on this vid. Is it a problem at my end or have you used an old camera?
Annnndddd it's fixed, must have been my end!
Videos take a while to upload in full quality, so for the first few minutes you can only get low resolution video.
Yup didn't realise I was that early on the viewing! Must have been by chance within seconds of it going up.
MR G I had no idea that your cat died. My condolences. Keep it up with the videos!
I really comment. But wow! That is really a ice breaker of a watch. Thanks fo the video T3. Entertaining as usual.
How do you keep track of all these amazing microbrands? It must take painstaking research since most aren't really any good.
It is a LOT of work and you're right, most are absolute crap. If you want to see a lot of crappy microbrands check out Just One More Watch's channel. That's just about all he reviews.
nah, he finds really cheap watches and most of them are great value.
Nah, they're mostly weirdly designed microbrand garbage that no one has heard of or wants. When you get a little older you'll understand :)
I understand and I know what you mean (jesus the shitty microbrand count is massive) but many of the just one more watch watches are using decent movements by seiko and miyota.
Paulo de la Rosa g
T3! Stay strong brother, keep up the good work
My zelos DMT is amazing!
I think that watch is ridiculous... but I love it! Great channel, just subbed 👍🏻
Love the Lume 😎
My condolences!
One of my fave brands!
3000M! Cool enough that it was bronze, but that depth rating os just insane!
Zelos watches are really gorgeous :)
Love it . Great stuff
It looks like you have an old fashioned moonshine still on your wrist!
You are awesome. Really. You are awesome. Your energy really helps me. If you ever need any help. Please don't even hesitate to ask me.
You are awesome. Keep doing this, content is awesome and presentet in a great way. I am realy sorry about your cat.
I think it's fucking dope!! 😂😂 Looks like I'll be saving for a new diver!!
I would love to get a bronze diver. Get that guy into some salt water and give it some character!
That watch is kind of Ivicta like; kind of like a diving bell on your wrist. Great review! Hang tough brother!
looks really good on you bro haha I want one now
I love it! Just checked and it's sold out :(
I thought that was a Boldr 😂 really wish it was thinner tho like a NTH
The perfect everyday watch. It works for every occasion. (Cough cough, not, cough cough.)
Hi Jory, I have been following you for a while now and love your videos! I am better at understanding watches now, thanks to your videos. I wanted a suggestion, If I order a Seiko SNK089 from Amazon i get charged 160 dollars instead of 71 as I reside in India! That is huge difference than the original cost, I can get a Kenneth Cole automatic for that amount as Kenneth Cole does not charge import duty. Seiko on the other hand has very limited options in India and the ones that I like SKX007 and SKX009 are with import duties. Shall I not buy Seiko and go for KC OR FOSSIL? @thetimeteller
