It’s back (soon)! The Salmon Sky continues to be one of the most requested models we make, so we’re bringing it back with fresh new updates.
The bezel insert is now steel with a durable DLC coating. The crown and case are also both updated for a more modern feel and a slimmer fit. The new bracelet is now fitted with our updated NodeX V1.2 clasp.

For the first time, we will be making our design brief public as soon as these are available (end of the month) to fill you in on all our design choices as well as technical challenges we encountered in making this watch.

NodeX™

Our proprietary NodeX™ module enables quick and easy on-the-fly clasp adjustment to enhance comfort for wearers. Designed with space optimization in mind, the module fits into a sleek encasement that is milled from surgical grade stainless steel. With five locking positions, finding the perfect fit is as easy as pushing a button.

NodeX™ is adaptable to a range of encasement styles and is licensable by third-parties. Contact us to inquire about licensing.

Zelos is using the same style quick adjust clasp on their upcoming Aurora field trinket.

Flare Orange rejoining the lineup in time for Halloween at the end of the month. Same updates as on the Salmon Sky: case, bracelet, insert, crown.

these colors at least in renderings have a nice subtlety to them. The difference between the quick adjust as used by them vs Christopher Ward and Zelos can't truly be so different that it can be "proprietary". I mean there is a noticeable difference in visual cues but it accomplishes the quick adjust in the same exact manner.
 
I think I see the difference (besides just looking different)

it looks like you just push the button and that releases the link adjuster, rather than having to push and slide simultaneously.

Looks like we’ll be shipping ahead of schedule, folks! Eyes on emails for tracking links.

 
The Grey version that’s coming within weeks, is truly hot, IMHO.

I really like this watch except for this one issue. Let me know if you would return this watch, or keep it.

Is it gray or grey? The Nodus website says gray, so I am going with that. Let me know what you think of the Nodus Retrospect III.


Here is a link to the website if you want to take a look

RETROSPECT III - SLATE GRAY​

$475.00

Made in the spirit of influential but lesser-known vintage dive watches, the Retrospect III captures the essence of the retro quirkiness of the 50s but breathes new life into it.

The Retrospect III's signature inward sloping bezel protects the matte DLC insert from damage, while drawing the eye into the aggressive and highly legible dial. A slimmed down case gives the watch supreme wearability while the oversized bezel lends itself to easy functionality.

The Retrospect III features a slimmer case design, matte black DLC steel insert, and a premium three-link bracelet with our proprietary NodeX extension clasp.
