Zelos Blacktip 41

The watch boasts eye-catching dials with grained textures and degrade effects, complemented by large applied indices, a lume-filled crown, and strong two-tone lume. The bezel action is described as having firm clicks with a slight return. The Miyota 9015 movement provides near-COSC accuracy and a 200m water resistance.
