Roue Cal Three / Cal FourvsZelos Mako 4

Owners praise the Roue Cal Three / Cal Four's unique grey-blue dial with yellow and orange accents and the distinctive look of its domed mineral glass. One owner found the 40mm case size and quality leather strap appealing, though noted the lugs were slightly taller than anticipated. However, one owner reported significant condensation and moisture ingress, with the company denying warranty service. The lack of a date window makes it less ideal as a daily wearer for some. On balance, owners appreciate the aesthetic appeal and value, despite isolated reports of water resistance issues and a lack of date functionality.

Owners widely praise Zelos' dial finishing, with specific admiration for blued markers and hands, and the unique titanium bezel insert. Reviewers highlight the Mako 4's impressive case finishing and fully lumed ceramic bezel for its price point, noting the boxed sapphire crystal and wavy dial texture contribute to a vintage feel. The Sellita SW200 movement is described as reliable, with one owner reporting accuracy of -0.3 seconds per day. However, the crown can be difficult to grip, and the winding mechanism offers resistance when screwing down, while the watch's height may hinder wearability under a suit cuff. The tropic rubber strap is considered excellent, in contrast to a stiff leather option. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Mako 4 highly for its exceptional dial and case finishing at its price point.
