The Zelos Watches Mirage 2 marks the future of the pilot’s watch in titanium damascus

Through the sheer determination and creative efforts of owner and designer Elshan Tang, Zelos Watches have enjoyed a sharp rise from their 2014 origins. From their first hits like the Hammerhead and the Swordfish, Zelos are still focused on value-driven tool and diver’s watches, but now come close to tipping the scales from microbrand to small manufacturer (well, in my book they’ve done it already). With a solid back catalogue of over 20 different models, Zelos is a mainstay on the scene, and last year stepped up their game with the Mirage. This was something quite different, riffing on previous skeletonized models like the Skyraider, and do you know what? It had a Swiss-made tourbillon movement. Now Zelos has fitted an eight-day hand-wound movement from La Joux Perret in the 42mm case of the Mirage 2. The result is a pilot’s watch, but not as we know it.
