Nodus Sector II Field Titanium Cerakote

The watch features a tropical dial, a box sapphire crystal, and BGW9 lume. It is powered by a TMI NH38 movement, offering a 41-hour power reserve, and is regulated to +/- 10 seconds per day. On balance, enthusiasts and reviewers appreciate the Nodus Sector II Field Titanium Cerakote for its unique Cerakote finish and lightweight titanium construction at its price point.

HELM Vanuatu
