Singapore watch brand Zelos are renowned for their vivid dial colours and chunky cased dive watches. But now they have a retro chronograph ready to drop, on the 4th August as it goes. It’s priced at 1200 US dollars so it has some serious competition from many other Indie brand chronographs, plus models from Certina, Tissot, Luminox and Farer, all priced at well under a grand sterling. Then there’s Seiko’s Prospex range to consider.

Here’s the word.

Inspired by the racing chronographs of the 60s, the Vitesse is an elegant timepiece updated with all new technology. Its powered by the La Joux Perret L100 automatic chronograph, which features upgrades such as a column wheel and 68hour power reserve.

The Vitesse drops on the 4th of August at 11pm Singapore time, and this is a small production batch due to the limited amount of movements available. Do check out this page HERE for more info about the Vitesse.
