Nodus watches, model by model

The cheapest way into the Sector II case, and the one to buy if you can wait for a colour. Frost, Glacial, Marigold and Void are $525, with Marigold and Void sold out and Frost on a restock list; Tiger's Eye at $575 and Onyx at $600 are the stone dials. The figure to carry is 47 mm lug to lug on a 38 mm case, the footprint of a 40 mm watch. For $50 more the Sector II GMT adds a 24-hour hand and could be ordered. What you give up here is a bezel and a date.

A watch to know about rather than to buy this month, since all 4 colourways were sold out. Flyer, Blackbird and Phantom list at $550 and the DLC at $675, the last marked sold out or discontinued. The Pilot is the only Sector II with a day window, on a TMI NH36, under a 120-click countdown bezel. 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. Without the day-date need, the Sport is $25 less and could be had.

The Nodus to buy this month if a second time zone is the point, at $575 in Tarmac, Stratos or Pacific, with shipping stated from 25 September 2026. The TMI NH34 is 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 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. The Grade 2 titanium case and bracelet sit under a 2000HV hard coating; Marina and Sequoia are $625, Canopy, Dusk and FDE $600. Canopy, Dusk, FDE and Sequoia could be ordered, Marina was on a restock list and Shale was sold out. The brand rates the no-date NH38 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 when we looked. Every dial at $650, the DLC Destro at $700 and the Damascus edition on a Miyota 8315 at $800 were sold out. The 38 mm Sector case sits under a 42 mm bezel, fully lumed and twin-scale, and runs to 13.6 mm thick against the Sector II's 11.7. The Pioneer below is the same case with a GMT movement for $25 more, and it could be ordered. 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, 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 and 11.9 mm thick, so the bezel costs almost nothing over the Sport. That 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, and the Sport the same case without the bezel for $525.

The DLC Obscura II at $725 could be ordered and the steel at $650 could not, so the version worth discussing is the one you can buy. Beneath the bezel sit the Sector II Sport's case and movement; the bezel 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, 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 could be ordered, Ranger was sold out, and nothing else at 500 m could be ordered. The case is the Sector Deep's, 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 in all 3 dials, Vitreous Pink and Yellow at $675 and Pearl White at $725. At 36.5 mm and 43.5 mm lug to lug it is 1.5 mm smaller than the Sector II and 3.5 mm shorter, and the Miyota 9015 Premium is the only one in the range, thinner and higher-beat than the TMI calibres, under a vitreous enamel dial. For the same money the Sector Deep Pioneer gives 500 m and a GMT hand and could be ordered; nothing else in the house gives enamel.

The true GMT Nodus, and not buyable until March 2027 on the brand's own estimate; Evergreen, Impulse, Polaris, Terra Lux and Laguna are all $900 and all sold out. The Miyota 9075 jumps the local hour in 1-hour steps while the 24-hour hand holds home time, under a 48-click bidirectional bezel with a luminous sapphire insert. Against the $575 Sector II GMT the $325 buys the jumping hour, the rotating 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.

The Miyota 9075 GMT you can order from Nodus, in one colour, Clay at $975 for late-October delivery; Carbon at $1,075 and Basecamp and A.C.T. at $925 were sold out. Raven Watches of Kansas is the partner on it rather than a model. The TrailTrekker is 1 mm narrower than the Contrail and $75 more in Clay, and its fixed 24-hour bezel in Cerakote means the second zone is read from the hand alone where the Contrail's bezel rotates. The Traska Venturer at $950 and the Vaer G5 at $989 run the same movement; the Venturer's internal 24-hour ring turns.
