I like this new idea!yinzburgher wrote:Oris has come out with a two-tone or what they're calling "Bico" (short for bi-color) iteration of the Divers Sixty-Five. Previously there has been a version of the 65 with a bronze bezel only. And there was also the fully bronze Carl Brashear Limited Edition 65. However this new one sports a stainless steel case with a bronze bezel insert. It is available on leather or on a bracelet featuring bronze center links and stainless steel outer links. Oris reports the particular bronze alloy used here will develop only a light patina.

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
Oris is masterful at exploring color ways of successful designs. Possibly the best.
I really dig that bracelet. Can’t say I’ve seen anyone play with bronze in such a fashion. I may have to get this one if the price is fair.

2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
The Zelos “Horizons” GMT is finally here! I’ve been waiting for this one since it was first announced. I picked up the grey right away. I thought about the meteorite, but couldn’t justify it for another $100, for me anyway.
Starting price is $650 for slate, green, or blue dials. $750 for grey meteorite.

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
Man, this one is really tempting me. Unfortunately that's not in the budget at the moment so I'd have to sell my Squale.

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
I'm impressed with the pricing on these. Elaboré grade ETA 2893 for $650 is great, especially with 2 straps and a watch roll. The website says it goes up to $850 on 5/19. I haven't followed Zelos too closely but I usual don't like their designs. They often seem to pair a super shiny, sunburst, glittery patterned dial with a bronze case that will take on a antiquey steampunky patina. The two elements just don't mix well to my eye. But the design on this one looks really good to me. Cool watch.norsairius wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:29 pm The Zelos “Horizons” GMT is finally here!

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
Bah, I had some regrets later for not getting the meteorite dial because I don't know when I'll have another opportunity to get one in a watch like this at a price I can afford so I sent in a request to cancel my order for the slate grey and then I ordered the meteorite.
Hopefully that order cancellation goes through, or else I might have two of these for a short while!
Elshan has been amazing to work with though, so I trust he'll work with me on this one if both get sent out and I end up needing to return one. I blame my indecisiveness for putting me in this situation though, haha, so I also accept responsibility.

Zelos is a one-man operation so your watch might not get shipped out the next day or for a few days after placing your order, but you will get your watch.
Elshan is a good guy and I’ve exchanged a few emails with him before. I’d say you could easily buy with confidence.
I placed an order for the new Horizons without any concerns or hesitations.
