Zelos Watches has had very successful year with the Helmsman and the
Chroma. Now they are poised to roar into 2015 with the Abyss, an
outrageously capable bronze dive watch, now available for pre-order on Kickstarter.
One of the few criticisms of the Helmsman was its 100 meter water
resistance. While perfectly suitable for most activities, it is not
sufficient for scuba diving. The Abyss addresses this in spectacular
fashion. Its 43mm CuSn8 bronze case is built to withstand 3000 meters
water resistance. Yes, thousand. Its double domed sapphire
crystal is a whopping 7mm thick. Both of its screw down crowns seal with
five gaskets. A double O-ring system seals the hefty 4mm thick
stainless steel screw down case back.
The watch wears two bezels, a 120 click unidirectional diver's bezel on
the outside, and an internal unit for additional timing. A Helium escape
valve provides functionality for saturation divers. BGW9 SuperLuminova
lights the hands and markers. The movement is a Miyota 9015 automatic.
Only 500 units will be produced and each piece will be individually
numbered. Five variants are offered: Blue, Green, Brown, Black, and DLC
bezel with Black dial. Each will be shipped with a leather watch roll,
brown vintage leather strap, and black rubber five strap. Early bird
pricing starts at $599 AUD ($490 USD, 390€ EUR). MSRP will be
approximately $900 AUD.
