Description
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.
