Darling of the mircobrand world, Zelos specialise in some of the most daring dials on the market and leading the way in materials tech. The Aurora Ti 38mm is quintessential Zelos in this respect, making it well worth a look if you can get your hands on one during their infrequent drops or on the secondary market. 

 

The angular, hardened titanium case gives the Aurora a unique feel in hand, being lighter than expected and a more muted sheen under the light than steel equivalents. A matching titanium H link style bracelet is a nice change from the typical Oyster style seen on watches in this category, while also increasing the range of motion of the bracelet contributing to comfort. An early adopter of on the fly adjustable clasps, Zelos have you covered on this front too. Unseen behind the etched caseback is an iron faraday cage, meaning this watch has stop spec antimagentism to boot!

 

But lets be honest, you buy a Zelos for the dial. This generation of Aurora start with your choice of funky materials, ranging from the crystalised titanium seen here, to a mother of pesrl Mozaic, hammered coloured metal, or even slices of meteorite. From here, large lumed applied indices sit at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 positions, mirroring the 4 main markers on a compass. Between them, sandwich dial style slots are cut into the dial surface and filled part way with lume, adding depth and visual interest. Sure, theres a lot going on, but that's why you buy a Zelos!

 

Auroras aren't easy to get your hands on, but as a result they hold their price well on the secondary market for lightly used examples. If you're after something fun and a bitndifferent for your collection, they're well worth your consideration... if you can find one!
