The Zelos Hammerhead 43 Field DLC Storm brings together the collection's substantial case architecture and a distinctive hammered-texture dial in dusty lavender. The dark DLC-coated stainless-steel case and bracelet provide a strong contrast to the dial's softer colour, while blue luminescent accents add another dimension to the design. Powered by the Seiko NH38 automatic movement and equipped with 300m water resistance, the Storm combines the Hammerhead's functional construction with a more unconventional visual identity. Inspiration & Design The Storm explores contrast through colour, texture and surface finishing. Its hammered dial introduces an irregular, tactile appearance, with the dusty lavender tone shifting in character under different lighting conditions. Against the dark DLC finish, the dial becomes the focal point without relying on bright or highly saturated colours. The design retains the substantial proportions associated with the Hammerhead collection, while the combination of a dark exterior and textured dial gives this execution its own identity. Dial & Case The Storm features a hammered-texture dial in dusty lavender, complemented by blue luminescent detailing. Its luminous elements incorporate Super-LumiNova C3, Lumicast and BGW9. The 43mm case is constructed from 316L stainless steel with a DLC coating, providing increased resistance to scratches and scuffs. It measures 48mm lug-to-lug and 13mm thick, including the crystal. A domed sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while 300m water resistance reinforces the watch's functional credentials. Movement The Hammerhead 43 Field DLC Storm is powered by the Seiko NH38 automatic mechanical movement. The no-date configuration keeps the dial free of a date aperture, allowing its textured surface and luminous details to remain uninterrupted. Bracelet / Strap The Storm is fitted with a DLC-coated 316L stainless-steel bracelet, extending the dark finish across the entire watch. Its quick-adjust clasp features an external release mechanism, allowing convenient fit adjustments throughout the day. The 22mm lug width also provides flexibility for alternative strap combinations. Final Thoughts The Hammerhead 43 Field DLC Storm demonstrates how a change in materials and colour can transform an established design. The dark DLC finish gives the watch a more technical appearance, while the hammered lavender dial introduces an unexpected softness. Combined with the reliable Seiko NH38 movement and 300m water resistance, it offers a distinctive interpretation of a robust automatic sports watch.

The Zelos GT Ivory brings together motorsport-inspired styling and contemporary mechanical watchmaking in a versatile 40mm format. Its gloss enamel white dial is accented by red racing stripes, creating a strong visual contrast against the gunmetal hands and hour markers. A mechanical power reserve display adds a functional dimension to the design, allowing the wearer to monitor the energy remaining in the movement. With its compact proportions, box-shaped sapphire crystal and stainless-steel bracelet, the GT Ivory balances expressive styling with everyday wearability. Inspiration & Design The GT collection draws on the visual language of grand touring and performance automobiles, translating familiar racing cues into a mechanical wristwatch. On the Ivory, the combination of white and red gives the dial a crisp, graphic appearance. The racing stripes provide a sense of movement, while the darker hands and indices maintain contrast against the light background. Rather than reproducing automotive instruments literally, the design uses a few recognisable details to establish its character. The result is sporty without becoming overly complicated. Dial & Case The GT Ivory features a gloss enamel white dial with red racing stripes, complemented by gunmetal-finished hands and applied indices. BGW9 Super-LumiNova provides low-light visibility, while the box-shaped sapphire crystal adds depth to the dial's appearance. The case is constructed from 316L stainless steel, measuring 40mm in diameter and 45mm lug-to-lug. Its thickness is 10.8mm excluding the crystal, increasing to 12.5mm including the crystal. These proportions give the watch a relatively compact footprint on the wrist, while 100 metres of water resistance adds everyday practicality. Movement Powering the GT Ivory is the Miyota 9133 automatic movement, featuring a mechanical power reserve display. The indicator provides a useful visual reference for the movement's remaining stored energy, adding functionality to the dial without departing from the GT's sporting character. Bracelet / Strap The GT Ivory is fitted with a stainless-steel bracelet equipped with a quick-adjust clasp. The adjustment mechanism allows the wearer to fine-tune the bracelet fit without removing links, particularly useful as wrist size changes throughout the day. The watch has a 20mm lug width, providing flexibility for alternative strap options. Final Thoughts The Zelos GT Ivory offers a different expression of the brand's design approach, moving away from its dive-watch aesthetic towards something more closely associated with motorsport. The enamel white dial and red racing stripes give it a distinctive identity, while the Miyota 9133 movement and power reserve display provide mechanical substance. With its compact case and practical bracelet, the GT Ivory is an appealing option for collectors looking for a characterful automatic sports watch that remains easy to wear.

The Shanghai Watch The Bund Magic Formula Yilan (漪澜), reference S7003.2407.031.08, reimagines the conventional watch display through a wandering-hours mechanism. Three transparent discs are suspended around the centre of the dial, each carrying four hour numerals. The discs rotate individually while simultaneously orbiting the central axis. When the relevant hour reaches the 120-degree minute sector across the upper portion of the dial, its position against the scale indicates the minutes. The result is a watch in continual motion - an unconventional yet readable approach to timekeeping that turns the mechanism itself into a central part of the design. Inspiration & Design For the Magic Formula Celestial series, Shanghai Watch turns to water and clouds, two longstanding auspicious motifs within Chinese visual culture. Yilan takes its inspiration from water. Traditional wave patterns are arranged across the dial in overlapping concentric semicircles, evoking ripples spreading across the surface of water. Shanghai Watch associates the motif with continuity and enduring good fortune. The blue-green colour palette reinforces that aquatic inspiration, while the wandering-hours mechanism brings a distinctly contemporary dimension to the composition. Rather than reproducing a historical design, Yilan uses traditional imagery as the foundation for a modern mechanical watch. Dial & Case The blue-green fumé dial transitions from lighter tones towards a deeper outer edge and is finished with a sunray effect that responds dynamically to changing light. Layered across its surface is the traditional water-wave motif, formed from repeating concentric semicircles. Above it, three transparent hour discs form the wandering-hours mechanism, with the active hour moving across a 120-degree minute scale to indicate the time. The case is constructed from 316L stainless steel with a rose-gold PVD finish, measuring 41.5mm in diameter and 13.7mm thick. An anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while water resistance is rated to 5ATM. Movement Yilan is powered by Shanghai Watch's FWS-F01 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz). The movement uses 28 jewels and delivers up to 38 hours of power reserve when fully wound. It can be viewed through the full sapphire exhibition caseback. Shanghai Watch finishes the movement with fish-scale decoration across the bridges and linear finishing on the signed rotor, adding visual interest to the mechanical side of the watch. Bracelet / Strap Yilan is paired with a 20mm brown leather strap, adding warmth against the blue-green dial and rose-gold-tone case. The strap uses a butterfly clasp and quick-release construction, allowing it to be removed without conventional spring-bar tools. Final Thoughts Yilan takes the mechanical theatre of the Magic Formula wandering-hours display and gives it a warmer, more expressive personality. The interplay between blue-green fumé, traditional water-wave imagery and the rose-gold-tone case makes this the more colourful of the two Celestial interpretations. More importantly, those decorative elements aren't disconnected from the watch's mechanical concept: both the rippling dial and orbiting hour discs are built around movement. For collectors looking at contemporary Shanghai Watch beyond its heritage-inspired pieces, Yilan offers a particularly distinctive expression of where the brand is heading. Technical Specifications Case size: 41.5mm  Case material: 316L stainless steel, rose gold PVD Case back: Sapphire, exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: FWS-F01 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial:  Blue-green fumé sunray dial with water-wave motif; wandering hours with 120° minute scale Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Brown calf leather Buckle: Stainless steel, rose gold PVD deployant clasp Warranty: 2 years

The Shanghai Watch The Bund Magic Formula Xuanyun (玄云), reference S7003.2412.011.08, rethinks the conventional relationship between hands, numerals and the dial. Its wandering-hours display places three transparent hour discs around the centre of the watch. Each carries four hour numerals and rotates on its own axis while simultaneously orbiting the central mechanism. As the active hour enters the 120-degree minute sector across the upper portion of the dial, its position along the scale indicates the minutes. The result is a display in constant motion: mechanically expressive, visually distinctive and surprisingly intuitive once its logic becomes familiar. Inspiration & Design For the Magic Formula Celestial series, Shanghai Watch draws upon water and clouds, two recurring auspicious motifs within traditional Chinese visual culture. Xuanyun takes its inspiration from clouds. Its curling cloud pattern evokes forms associated with good fortune and upward progress, while the black mother-of-pearl beneath it introduces shifting iridescence as the watch catches the light. The traditional motif sits in deliberate contrast to the contemporary architecture of the wandering-hours mechanism. Rather than recreating a historical watch, Shanghai Watch uses established Chinese decorative language within a thoroughly modern mechanical composition. Dial & Case The black dial uses mother-of-pearl marquetry to form an auspicious cloud pattern. Its natural iridescence changes subtly with viewing angle and light, allowing the pattern and colour of the dial to continually shift. Above it, three transparent hour discs form the wandering-hours mechanism. Each disc carries four numerals and both rotates independently and orbits the centre of the dial. The active hour travels across a 120-degree minute scale, allowing the time to be read from the numeral's position within the sector. The case is made from 316L stainless steel and measures 41.5mm in diameter and 13.7mm thick. An anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal covers the dial, while water resistance is rated to 5ATM. Movement The watch is powered by Shanghai Watch's FWS-F01 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) with 28 jewels and up to 38 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Through the full sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement reveals fish-scale finishing across the bridges and linear finishing on the rotor, which is also signed with the Shanghai Watch name. Here, the movement is more than an engine hidden behind the dial: it provides the mechanical foundation for the wandering-hours display that defines the watch. Bracelet / Strap Xuanyun is fitted with a 20mm black leather strap, keeping the overall presentation restrained against the iridescent black dial. It is equipped with a butterfly clasp and quick-release construction, allowing the strap to be removed without conventional spring-bar tools. Final Thoughts Magic Formula Xuanyun works because its unusual display isn't simply decorative. The wandering-hours mechanism fundamentally changes how the watch communicates time, giving the constantly moving dial a purpose beyond visual theatre. Black mother-of-pearl and the auspicious cloud motif then give that mechanical architecture a distinctly Chinese identity. It is a strong example of Shanghai Watch looking forward rather than relying solely on its considerable historical archive. Technical Specifications Case size: 41.5mm  Case material: 316L stainless steel Case back: Sapphire, exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: FWS-F01 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial:  Black mother-of-pearl marquetry with auspicious cloud motif; wandering hours with 120° minute scale Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Black calf leather Buckle: Stainless steel deployant clasp Warranty: 2 years

The Shanghai Watch Commander Scout traces its lineage to the Type 114, Shanghai Watch’s first military diving watch. Developed in the 1960s in response to military requirements, the Type 114 combined automatic winding and a date complication with enhanced resistance to shock, magnetism and water. Some examples were issued to senior military officers, contributing to its reputation as an officer’s watch or general’s watch.  The modern Commander revisits that history through a compact 37.5mm case, 300m water resistance and a unidirectional titanium bezel. For the Scout, Shanghai Watch combines those functional foundations with a silver-grey sunray dial and beige nylon-leather strap for a softer, more understated interpretation. Inspiration & Design The Commander collection draws directly from Shanghai Watch’s Type 114 military diving watch. Its origins can be traced to the A641 project of 1964, an experimental high-grade slim watch that contributed to subsequent development. Following a requirement for an automatic watch with date display and enhanced shock, magnetic and water resistance, Shanghai Watch developed the 29-jewel Type 114 military diving watch in 1965. A 24-jewel version using the SS4C movement followed in 1968. The contemporary Commander retains recognisable elements from the Type 114 while refining them for modern wear. Shanghai’s calligraphic signature remains at 12 o’clock, the date window occupies the traditional 3 o’clock position, and the characteristic wedge-shaped hour markers have been streamlined. At 6 o’clock sits the distinctive two-bar, four-star insignia, providing the most immediate visual reference to the Commander identity. Dial & Case The Scout is distinguished by its silver-grey sunray dial, whose brushed surface shifts subtly with changing light. Grey-toned hands and indices maintain the restrained palette, while the steel-coloured two-bar, four-star insignia sits above the “Made in China” signature at 6 o’clock. Pencil-shaped hour and minute hands are paired with a slender seconds hand with a broadened tip. The three-dimensional wedge indices and hands are treated with Super-LumiNova® for low-light visibility. The satin-brushed 316L stainless-steel case measures 37.5mm across and 13.45mm thick, topped by a domed sapphire crystal. Shanghai Watch pairs it with a silver-grey unidirectional titanium bezel, which also incorporates Super-LumiNova®. The material brings strength and corrosion resistance while reducing weight around the perimeter of the watch. A screw-down steel crown and solid steel caseback help deliver a substantial 300m / 30ATM water-resistance rating. Movement Inside is Shanghai Watch’s ST2130 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour / 4Hz. The 28-jewel calibre provides central hours, minutes and seconds together with the date display at 3 o’clock, with approximately 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound. A solid steel caseback keeps the emphasis on durability and the Commander’s tool-watch character rather than displaying the movement. Bracelet / Strap The Scout is supplied on a 20mm beige nylon-and-leather strap, chosen to complement the cooler silver-grey dial and case. It uses a conventional pin buckle and quick-release construction. Also included is a 20mm stainless-steel bracelet, fitted with a turtle-back clasp and quick-release system. This effectively gives the Scout two distinct personalities: more relaxed and field-inspired on the beige strap, or more conventionally dive-watch oriented on steel. Final Thoughts The Commander Scout demonstrates how effectively Shanghai Watch can use its archives without becoming constrained by them. The Type 114 provides genuine historical substance, but the modern watch stands on its own: compact dimensions, sapphire crystal, a titanium diving bezel and 300m water resistance make it a capable contemporary tool watch. Of the two Commander executions, the Scout is the quieter choice. Its silver-grey palette and beige strap soften the military influence without erasing it - making the watch particularly easy to wear beyond its historical context. Technical Specifications Case size: 37.5mm  Case material: 316L stainless steel Case back: 316L stainless steel Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: ST2130 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial:  Silver grey sunray; applied wedge-shaped indices with Super-Luminova; pencil hour/minute hands and linear seconds hand with Super-Luminova Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 30ATM Strap type: 1x strap; 1x bracelet Strap material: Nylon and leather strap; stainless steel bracelet Buckle: Stainless steel Warranty: 2 years

The Shanghai Watch Commander Sniper traces its lineage to the Type 114, the brand’s first military diving watch. Developed in the 1960s in response to requirements from the Chinese military, the Type 114 combined automatic winding, a date complication and enhanced resistance to shock, magnetism and water. Some examples were issued to senior military officers, earning the watch the informal reputation of an officer’s watch or general’s watch. The modern Commander revisits that history in a more compact form. The Sniper pairs a 37.5mm gunmetal steel case with a dark sunray dial, titanium diving bezel and 300m water resistance - retaining the utilitarian character of its predecessor while bringing the construction firmly into the present. Inspiration & Design The Commander collection draws directly from Shanghai Watch’s Type 114 military diving watch. Its origins can be traced to the A641 project of 1964, an experimental high-grade slim watch that provided a foundation for subsequent development. Following a requirement for an automatic watch with a date display and enhanced shock, magnetic and water resistance, Shanghai Watch further developed the design and in 1965 produced the 29-jewel Type 114 military diving watch. A later 24-jewel version powered by the SS4C movement followed in 1968. The contemporary Commander retains recognisable elements of the Type 114 while refining them for modern proportions. Shanghai’s calligraphic signature remains at 12 o’clock, the date window sits at 3, and the original wedge-shaped hour markers have been streamlined without losing their distinctive geometry. At 6 o’clock, the two-bar, four-star insignia references military rank and provides the most direct visual link to the Commander identity. Dial & Case The Sniper takes the darker of the two titanium-bezel Commander executions. Its black sunray dial is designed to reveal subtle changes in texture under changing light, while tonal hands, indices and the two-bar, four-star emblem reinforce its deliberately subdued appearance. Pencil-shaped hour and minute hands are joined by a slender seconds hand with a broadened tip. The three-dimensional wedge indices and hands are treated with Super-LumiNova® for visibility in low light. The 37.5mm case is made from 316L stainless steel with a gunmetal finish and measures 13.45mm thick. Satin-brushed surfaces maintain the tool-watch character, while a domed sapphire crystal protects the dial. Around it sits one of the more interesting updates to the historic design: a unidirectional titanium diving bezel, selected for its strength, corrosion resistance and reduced weight. The bezel itself incorporates Super-LumiNova®, extending nighttime legibility beyond the dial. A screw-down crown and solid steel caseback contribute to a substantial 300m / 30ATM water-resistance rating. Movement Inside is Shanghai Watch’s ST2130 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour / 4Hz. The 28-jewel calibre provides central hours, minutes and seconds together with the date display at 3 o’clock, and delivers approximately 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Rather than using an exhibition caseback, Shanghai Watch has chosen a solid steel back for this Commander - an appropriate decision for a watch whose identity is rooted more firmly in military utility and diving capability than movement display. Bracelet / Strap The Sniper is supplied on a 20mm black nylon-and-leather strap with a pin buckle. Its quick-release construction makes changing the watch’s character particularly straightforward. Also included is a 20mm gunmetal stainless-steel bracelet, fitted with a turtle-back clasp and its own quick-release system. The darker bracelet creates a more integrated, monochromatic appearance, while the nylon-leather strap emphasises the Commander’s field and military character. Final Thoughts The Commander Sniper succeeds because Shanghai Watch has resisted simply reproducing an old military watch. The historical cues are still there - the calligraphic signature, date position, wedge indices and military insignia - but the 37.5mm proportions, titanium bezel, sapphire crystal and 300m water resistance make this a genuinely modern tool watch. Its Type 114 lineage gives it a story worth knowing. Its compact dimensions and dark gunmetal execution mean you don’t need to be a history enthusiast to appreciate it. Technical Specifications Case size: 37.5mm  Case material: Gunmetal 316L stainless steel Case back: 316L stainless steel Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: ST2130 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial:  Black sunray; applied wedge-shaped indices with Super-Luminova; pencil hour/minute hands and linear seconds hand with Super-Luminova Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 30ATM Strap type: 1x strap; 1x bracelet Strap material: Nylon and leather strap; gunmetal stainless steel bracelet Buckle: Stainless steel Warranty: 2 years

Mechanical watches are usually experienced through sight and touch. The Lucky Harvey Chiming Watch 2.0 adds another dimension: sound. Its self-produced LH003 automatic movement incorporates an hour-chiming mechanism, with the hammer and circular gong deliberately exposed on the dial. For this limited blue edition, Lucky Harvey combines that unusual complication with a Grade 5 titanium case and bracelet and a hand-worked radial-brushed dial. Production is limited to 100 pieces. Inspiration & Design At the centre of the Chiming Watch 2.0 is its visible striking mechanism. Lucky Harvey says the hammer takes inspiration from the bianqing, an ancient Chinese ritual musical instrument, connecting the mechanical function with a reference to traditional ceremonial music. Unlike the previous dial treatment, this edition also removes the former silent-window display. That leaves more uninterrupted space for the radial texture and puts greater emphasis on the interaction between the dial, hammer and circular gong. The result feels less like a conventional complication hidden beneath a dial and more like an instrument whose mechanism forms part of the visual architecture. Dial & Case The green dial is produced using a manual radial-brushing process rather than a conventional machine-applied sunburst finish. Lucky Harvey states that each dial takes approximately two to three hours to complete, with individually formed grooves creating a strongly directional texture that shifts with changing light. Surrounding it is a 40mm Grade 5 titanium case measuring 11mm thick. The case combines precision CNC machining with directional brushing, polished surfaces and chamfered detailing. Sapphire crystal protects the dial, while water resistance is rated to 5 ATM. Movement Inside is Lucky Harvey's self-produced LH003 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) with 30 jewels and approximately 40 hours of power reserve. Its defining feature is the hour-chiming mechanism. The exposed hammer works with the circular gong to produce the audible strike, turning the passage of time into both a visual and acoustic experience. Through the sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement is visible with Geneva-stripe finishing and a gold-toned PVD rotor decorated with a guilloché pattern. Lucky Harvey states an average daily timekeeping deviation within ±15 seconds. Bracelet The watch is fitted with a matching Grade 5 titanium bracelet. Lucky Harvey redesigned the bracelet curvature for the Chiming Watch 2.0 so that it conforms to the wrist earlier, bringing the watch approximately 3mm closer to the wrist than the previous construction. Despite the mechanical complication and full titanium bracelet, the complete watch weighs approximately 97g. Final Thoughts The Chiming Watch 2.0 shows why Lucky Harvey is difficult to categorise simply as an automata-watch brand. Here, the spectacle comes from traditional mechanical principles - a hammer, a gong and the physical production of sound - presented in a distinctly contemporary package. The green hand-worked dial and Grade 5 titanium construction give the watch enough material and finishing interest to stand on their own, while the chiming mechanism provides the feature that makes it unmistakably Lucky Harvey. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 100 pieces available worldwide Case size: 40mm Case material: Grade 5 titanium Case back: Sapphire Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: In-house movement LH003 incorporating jade chime Power reserve: Approx 40hrs Dial: Green, hand-finished radial-brushed textured dial with big date display, lumed hands Glass: Sapphire Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Bracelet Strap material: Grade 5 titanium Buckle: Deployant buckle Warranty: 2 years

The Lucky Harvey Mahjong doesn’t simply put mahjong tiles on a watch dial - it recreates a four-player game mechanically on the wrist. The dial is divided into four sectors, each representing a player and their mahjong hand. Miniature three-dimensional tiles reproduce the combinations involved in the final stage of a game, with players waiting for the tile that will complete a winning hand. Activate the mechanism and the game plays out, bringing the familiar anticipation of waiting for that decisive tile into the mechanical experience. Inspiration & Design Mahjong is built around combinations, probability and the tension of waiting for the final tile. Lucky Harvey translates that experience into mechanical form rather than simply borrowing the game’s visual language. Each of the dial’s four sectors represents one player. Across them, miniature tiles reproduce the structures of a mahjong hand, including sequences, triplets and pairs, together with the potential tiles required to complete a winning combination. A standard winning mahjong hand consists of four sets and one pair, for a total of 14 tiles. A set can comprise either three consecutive numbered tiles of the same suit or three identical tiles. By incorporating that logic into the display, Lucky Harvey gives the seemingly complex arrangement of tiles an underlying purpose. This is not simply a mahjong-inspired dial; it is a miniature mechanical game board. Dial & Case The dial is effectively a mahjong table viewed from above, with four player positions arranged around the central time display. Each sector represents a player’s hand, with individually rendered three-dimensional tiles depicting familiar circles, bamboo, characters and honour tiles. Existing combinations and potential winning tiles create the game scenario around which the interactive mechanism operates. On this version, the warm rose-gold-tone case and hardware provide a stronger contrast against the green playing surface, giving the watch a richer and more decorative appearance than its stainless-steel counterpart. The case measures 43mm in diameter and 11mm thick and is topped by a synthetic sapphire crystal. Water resistance is rated to 30m/3 ATM. Movement Inside is Lucky Harvey’s CAL.LH000 automatic movement, providing the mechanical foundation for conventional timekeeping and the watch’s interactive mahjong function. This is what separates the watch from a conventional mahjong-themed piece. Rather than merely displaying familiar symbols, the mechanism plays out the decisive stage of a four-player game and determines the winning outcome. Mahjong therefore isn’t simply the theme of the watch - it is part of what the watch does. Bracelet / Strap The Lucky Harvey Mahjong is supplied on a genuine leather and fluororubber strap, combining the appearance and texture of leather with the practical properties of rubber. Lucky Harvey specifies a suitable wearing range of approximately 150–200mm. Final Thoughts At first glance, the Lucky Harvey Mahjong looks like an extraordinarily elaborate mahjong-themed watch. Understanding how it works makes it considerably more interesting. The four sectors represent four players. The miniature tiles form hands and potential winning combinations. And activating the mechanism isn't simply about creating movement - it plays out the conclusion of the game. The rose-gold version adds another layer of visual character, with its warmer case finish working particularly well against the green dial and colourful tiles. For a mahjong player, there are details here to recognise and understand. For everyone else, it is an unusually ambitious example of interactive mechanical watchmaking. Technical Specifications Case size: 43mm Case material: Stainless steel, rose gold PVD Case back: Stainless steel with engraving Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: In-house LH000 movement incorporating automata Power reserve: Approx 40hrs Dial: Black multi-level dial with miniature 3D mahjong tiles Glass: Sapphire Water resistance: 3ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Fluororubber/leather hybrid  Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Warranty: 2 years

The watch is housed in a 316L stainless-steel case measuring 43mm in diameter and 11mm thick, topped by a synthetic sapphire crystal. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres. Movement Inside is Lucky Harvey’s CAL.LH000 automatic movement, providing the mechanical foundation for conventional timekeeping and the watch’s interactive mahjong function. This is what separates the watch from a conventional mahjong-themed piece. Rather than merely displaying familiar symbols, the mechanism plays out the decisive stage of a four-player game and determines the winning outcome. Mahjong therefore isn’t simply the theme of the watch - it is part of what the watch does. Bracelet / Strap The Lucky Harvey Mahjong is supplied on a genuine leather and fluororubber strap, combining the appearance and texture of leather with the practical properties of rubber. Lucky Harvey specifies a suitable wearing range of approximately 150–200mm. Final Thoughts At first glance, the Lucky Harvey Mahjong looks like an extraordinarily elaborate mahjong-themed watch. Understanding how it works makes it considerably more interesting. The four sectors aren’t arbitrary arrangements: they represent four players. The miniature tiles aren’t simply decorative references: they form hands and potential winning combinations. And activating the mechanism isn’t just about creating movement - it plays out the conclusion of the game. That distinction is what makes the concept work. Lucky Harvey has taken something culturally familiar and translated its rules, anticipation and competitive element into mechanical form. For a mahjong player, there are details here to recognise and understand. For everyone else, it is an unusually ambitious example of interactive mechanical watchmaking.

The Zelos Helica 42 Wave MOP combines the natural iridescence of mother-of-pearl with the precision of CNC guilloché, creating a dial that changes continuously with light and viewing angle. Its light blue surface is machined with Zelos's flowing Wave pattern, bringing structure and depth to a material already known for its individual character. Presented in the larger 42mm Helica case, the Wave MOP balances its expressive dial with clean sports-watch architecture, a slim profile, 100m water resistance and the proven Miyota 9015 automatic movement. Inspiration & Design The Helica is Zelos's interpretation of the modern go-anywhere, do-anything sports watch — slim enough for everyday wear, robust enough for daily use, but with considerably more visual character than a conventional GADA watch. Its faceted case and bracelet combine brushed and polished surfaces, creating changing reflections as the watch moves on the wrist. The dial follows the same philosophy. Rather than relying on a stamped pattern, Zelos uses precision CNC guilloché to create greater texture and depth. For the Wave MOP, that precise machining is applied to naturally iridescent mother-of-pearl. The flowing Wave pattern gives structure to a material whose colour and character already change naturally with the light. Dial & Case Details The defining feature is the light blue mother-of-pearl dial, CNC-machined with Zelos's Wave-style guilloché. Because mother-of-pearl varies naturally, its colour and iridescence shift with changing light rather than remaining visually static. Silver hands and indices keep the treatment restrained around the more expressive dial, with Super-LumiNova C3 and BGW9 X1 Grade providing low-light visibility. The 316L stainless steel case measures 42mm in diameter, 49mm lug-to-lug and 10.5mm thick without the crystal, increasing to 11.9mm with the box-shaped sapphire crystal. Brushed and polished surfaces emphasise the Helica's faceted construction, while 100 metres of water resistance reinforces its everyday sports-watch positioning. Movement & Mechanics Inside is the Miyota 9015, a slim Japanese automatic movement well suited to the Helica's relatively slender case architecture. This version incorporates a custom date wheel, integrating the practical date complication more deliberately into the overall dial design. The 9015 provides a proven mechanical foundation while allowing the Wave MOP itself to remain the visual focus. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The Helica 42 Wave MOP is fitted with a multi-link, faceted stainless steel bracelet, designed to continue the alternating brushed and polished surfaces of the case. It tapers from 22mm at the lugs to 18mm at the clasp, helping balance the larger 42mm case on the wrist. The latest Helica bracelet also introduces a quick-adjust butterfly clasp with four adjustment positions across 10mm, allowing the fit to be fine-tuned without changing links. Final Impression The Wave MOP demonstrates why the Helica works particularly well as a platform for more unusual dial treatments. Mother-of-pearl already ensures that the dial reacts constantly to its surroundings, but the CNC Wave pattern gives that natural variation a deliberate structure. The result is expressive without turning the Helica into a dress watch or display piece. The larger 42mm format gives the dial more room to make an impact, while the relatively slim case, tapered bracelet and 100m water resistance retain the everyday versatility at the heart of the collection.

The Zelos GT 42mm Carbon ‘Heritage’ brings motorsport cues into a lightweight forged-carbon case, pairing a light-blue dial with bold orange racing stripes and matching accents. The result is deliberately energetic, but the execution remains distinctly Zelos - unconventional materials, strong colour and mechanical detail brought together in a watch that doesn't follow the usual sports-watch formula. Inside, the Miyota 9133 automatic movement adds a power-reserve display to the dial, while a box-shaped sapphire crystal gives the relatively slim case additional visual depth. Inspiration & Design The GT collection draws its character from the visual language of motorsport, and the Heritage makes that influence particularly clear. Two orange racing stripes run vertically across the light-blue dial, immediately recalling the contrasting stripes used on competition cars. Orange accents continue through the dial details, creating a strong visual connection between the mechanical display and the racing-inspired theme. The forged-carbon case pushes the design further away from a conventional steel sports watch. Its irregular carbon structure means the material itself contributes texture and variation, giving the GT a distinctly technical appearance. Dial & Case Details The light-blue dial is crossed by orange racing stripes, complemented by gunmetal hands and indices. Orange luminous accents add another layer of contrast, while the movement's power-reserve display introduces useful mechanical information directly onto the dial. Zelos specifies Super-LumiNova BGW9 for the watch. The forged-carbon case measures 42mm in diameter and just 46mm lug-to-lug, giving its relatively broad diameter a compact footprint. Thickness is 10.8mm excluding the crystal and 12.5mm including it, with a 22mm lug width. A box-shaped sapphire crystal adds height and character above the case, while water resistance is rated to 50 metres. Movement & Mechanics The GT Heritage is powered by the Miyota 9133 automatic movement, a Japanese mechanical calibre incorporating a power-reserve display. That additional indication suits the GT particularly well. Rather than hiding the mechanical functionality beneath the surface, the remaining running reserve becomes part of the dial architecture - adding visual interest while giving the wearer useful information about the state of the movement. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The GT Heritage is fitted with a leather strap with matching stitching, continuing the colour-led character of the dial while providing a more traditional counterpoint to the technical forged-carbon case. With a 22mm lug width, the strap also maintains the broad, sporting proportions of the watch without adding the visual or physical weight of a metal bracelet. Final Impression The GT Heritage is Zelos at its more playful. There is plenty happening visually - forged carbon, powder blue, orange racing stripes and a power-reserve display — but those elements all serve the same motorsport-inspired idea rather than feeling added for effect. Its proportions are also more considered than the 42mm diameter might initially suggest. A short 46mm lug-to-lug and relatively slim case body keep the GT compact, while the forged-carbon construction reinforces its technical character. For collectors who associate Zelos primarily with dive watches, the GT offers a very different expression of the brand's willingness to experiment with materials and design. Explore Other GT Variants The Zelos GT series is available in a range of materials and colourways, each offering a distinct take on its automotive-inspired design.
