Nodus watches, model by model

Buy this if you want the Sector II case at its cheapest and can wait for a colour: Frost, Glacial, Marigold and Void are $525, with Marigold and Void sold out at check and Frost on a restock list. The sheet is the shared one, 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, TMI NH38 without a date, 100 m, flat-top sapphire, fixed bezel. Tiger's Eye at $575 and Onyx at $600 are the stone dials. For $50 more the Sector II GMT adds a 24-hour hand in the same case and was orderable; for $100 more the Field Titanium swaps steel for coated titanium. What you give up here is a bezel and a date.

Sold out in all 4 colourways at check, so a watch to know about rather than to buy this month. Flyer, Blackbird and Phantom list at $550 and the DLC at $675, the last marked sold out or discontinued. It is the only Sector II with a day window, on a TMI NH36, under a 120-click countdown bezel and a box sapphire; 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm, 100 m. The Sector Deep is the rotating-bezel alternative in the same 38 mm case for $100 more, buying 400 m of rating at a cost of 1.9 mm of thickness. The Pilot exists for the day-date; without that need, the Sport is $25 less and could be had.

The Nodus to buy this month if a second time zone is the point: $575 in Tarmac, Stratos or Pacific, orderable at check, shipping stated from 25 September 2026. The movement is the TMI NH34, a caller GMT, so the 24-hour hand is the one you set to the second zone and the local hour does not jump, which a traveller resetting on landing will notice. The case is the Sector II's, 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.9 mm, fixed bezel, 100 m, flat-top sapphire. The true-GMT alternative in the house is the Contrail at $900, 2.5 mm wider, 100 m deeper, and sold out. At $575 this is the sound choice; the $325 you keep is the jumping hour.

The only Sector II Field on sale, since the steel version's URL now leads to a waitlist, and the one to buy if weight matters: Grade 2 titanium case and bracelet under a 2000HV hard coating. Marina and Sequoia are $625; the Cerakote Canopy, Dusk and FDE are $600. Canopy, Dusk, FDE and Sequoia were orderable at check, Marina was on a restock list and Shale was sold out. The sheet is 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm, 100 m, a TMI NH38 without a date rated by the brand at 41 h and +/-10 s/day. The Sector II Sport is this case in steel for $100 less; the premium is the metal and the coating.

The 500 m Nodus, and none to be had at check: Black, Flare, Polar, Sky Destro and Blue Orthodox at $650, the DLC Destro at $700 and a Damascus edition on a Miyota 8315 at $800 were all sold out. The case is the 38 mm Sector under a 42 mm bezel, 47 mm lug-to-lug and 13.6 mm thick, TMI NH35 with date, flat sapphire, and a fully lumed DLC bezel carrying a 60-minute and a 12-hour scale. The Pioneer below is the same case with a GMT movement and a compass ring for $25 more, and it was orderable. The Deep's argument is the date and the twin-scale bezel; the Pioneer's is that you can have it.

A 75-piece edition made with Holme & Hadfield, out of stock at check with a notify sign-up, and the only 100 m Sector diver Nodus lists at all, since the standard Sector II Dive has left the catalogue. The 38 mm case is 40 mm across the bezel, 47 mm lug-to-lug and 11.9 mm thick, on a TMI NH38 without a date under a box sapphire. The bezel is CuAl8 bronze with a matte DLC steel insert; the page gives no click count. There is no alternative at this rating in the house: the Sector Deep gives 500 m, the Sport the same case without the bezel for $525.

The DLC Obscura II at $725 was orderable at check and the steel at $650 was not, so the version worth discussing is the one you can buy. It is the Sector II Sport's case, movement and price band, 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm, 100 m, TMI NH38, with a bezel that turns only between 12 and 4 o'clock in 16 clicks: an exposure gauge for the Sunny 16 rule, for which the brand cites US Patent 12,007,722. Against the Sport the gauge costs $125 in steel and $200 in DLC. The gauge is the whole premium; the case beneath it is the Sport's, and the Sport in Glacial could also be ordered.

The Nodus to buy if 500 m is the requirement: Admiral and Forge at $675 and NVG at $725 were orderable at check, Ranger was sold out, and nothing else at that rating could be ordered on the day. It is the Sector Deep case, 38 mm under a 42 mm bezel, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 13.6 mm thick, with a TMI NH34 caller GMT and an 8-point compass ring on the 120-click bezel. The Sector Deep at $650 is the same case with a date and no second zone; the Sector II GMT at $575 is the same movement at 100 m and 1.7 mm thinner. The $100 over the latter is 400 m of rating.

The dress Nodus and the one for the smallest wrist, sold out at check in all 3 dials: Vitreous Pink and Yellow at $675, Pearl White at $725. It is 36.5 mm, 43.5 mm lug-to-lug and 11.3 mm thick, rated 150 m, on a Miyota 9015 Premium, the only one in the range and thinner and higher-beat than the TMI calibres in the Sector lines, under a fixed bezel with a polished ceramic insert, over a vitreous enamel dial. It is 1.5 mm smaller than the Sector II and 3.5 mm shorter. For the same money the Sector Deep Pioneer gives 500 m and a GMT hand and was orderable; nothing else in the house gives enamel.

The true GMT Nodus, and not buyable until March 2027 by the brand's own estimate: Evergreen, Impulse, Polaris, Terra Lux and Laguna are all $900 and all sold out. Miyota 9075, so the local hour jumps in 1-hour steps while the 24-hour hand holds home time; 40.5 mm, 46.6 mm lug-to-lug, 11.8 mm, 200 m, box sapphire, and a 48-click bidirectional bezel with a luminous sapphire insert. Against the $575 Sector II GMT the $325 buys the jumping hour, the rotating 24-hour bezel and 100 m more. The Lorier Hyperion at $799 runs the same 9075 and can be had; the Islander Republic Traveler at $595 runs it for $305 less. Waiting is about the case, not the movement.

The Miyota 9075 GMT you can order from Nodus, in one colour: Clay at $975, matte grey DLC, for late-October delivery at check. Carbon at $1,075, Basecamp and A.C.T. at $925 were sold out. It is made with Raven Watches of Kansas, and Raven is the partner, not a model. 39.5 mm, 46.6 mm lug-to-lug, 11.8 mm, 200 m, box sapphire, and a fixed 24-hour bezel in Cerakote where the Contrail's rotates. It is 1 mm narrower than the Contrail and $75 more in Clay, and the fixed bezel means the second zone is read from the hand alone. The Traska Venturer at $950 and the Vaer G5 at $989 run the same movement; the Venturer's internal 24-hour ring turns.
