Zelos Skyraider Bronze Skeleton Zelos

The Zelos Skyraider Bronze Skeleton is an incredible aviator watch. The Douglas A-1 Skyraider was one of the last few propeller driven attack aircraft and Zelos used this name as inspiration. The watch is powered by a beautifully decorated, Swiss Made, handwinding ETA 6498-1 movement, which is visible through the caseback window.

Another obvious perk of the watch is the material: it’s entirely made from CuSn8 bronze. Bronze has the great attribute that it builds up a layer of patina. This is an ongoing process which makes every watch unique. Discolouration is normal with this material. One major benefit is that you can largely bring back your watch in the original condition by using a Cape Cod cloth. 

The thing that will catch your eye most is the incredible face of it – or better said: what is left of it. The bridges and components have been painstakingly cut out to reveal the inner workings of the movement. You will be able to see the beat of the escapement and pallet fork, its steady pulse is mesmerizing to watch. This is a truly special movement and finished to a very high standard.

Alongside the fitted Horween Chromexcel Brown leather strap, the watch also comes with a Military Grey Canvas with Horween backing strap. The watch comes with 1, high quality, buckle.

All in all the Skyraider is a high end, unique, special, beautiful and just lovely watch to own and mostly: wear!
