A INCREDIBLE watch with meaning.
In todays video, we go over a really incredible Chinese made watch, with great specifications, an in house calibre, a unique way of telling the time, and a link to ocean conservation, all that allowed it to win an award as well as being placed in the swiss horological museum, all for a similar price range to seiko, hamilton, tissot and more, being less than longines and tudor, and a lot less than rolex and patek phillipe, etc.

In today’s video we go over the new dials for the zelos 300m GMT watch! In terms of specs and value beating brands like seiko, tissot, hamilton, orient and more at the same price range! However the true place it shines is that dial - just incredible. I mean if you told me I could get a fully enamel textured dial in this price?

    So half of the Rolex line is nothing to write home about. Rolex is all about marketing just like DeBeers is all about making you think diamonds are rare when the exact opposite is true. The watch market is so pimped up only a fool would dive into the 6 figure pricing. Nice review.

    Is there a model number? Is on the market for sale? I also like the other comment about stone or mother of pearl dials. San Martin at the top of their game. “IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME.” Offering the world quality at a realistic non-inflated price.

    IMHO the whole spiel about heritage and design is such a fraudulent alarm. How often does heritage become a factor in our other purchase decision? Would you buy a more expensive, worse looking and less battery capacity Ford instead of Toyota/Tesla due to heritage ? Would you buy a slower, hotter, pricier Intel CPU over an AMD one due to heritage ? Would you only buy branded drugs straight from the manufacturer for 10x the price instead of generic drugs? Heritage / original design is the argument some companies (and their shills) make when they know they've been beaten in price/performance .
