Hi guys! Here is a watch that I wanted to review for a long time, the Zelos Swordfish 300m Diver. Unfortunately, this piece was stolen from me a few months back, which prevented me from being able to upload this review. Luckily, it was retrieved without any damage. The Swordfish 300m Diver offers some great features that make it an exceptional watch to own, especially considering its $350 price point. Zelos continues to offer great time pieces with unique designs that contribute to their brand recognition and reputation.

 
interesting, stolen but all retrieved. Lucky.

The black plating doesn't look too good in places on the bracelet, and the bezel doesn't look like any scalloped Omega bezel I know. but hey what can you do. its still a nice watch.
 
I'm not into Black IP, but still a cool looking design, from Zelos.:wink: Thanks for posting this up, Mike.:hat:

I did the best I could on the bracelet photos and nothing was re-sized or touched-up. Most of the spots are glare from light refection.

The Swordfish Diver

Zelos is proud to present the Swordfish 300m Diver. Named after one of the fastest fishes to swim the ocean, the Swordfish is known for breaching the surface in majestic fashion.

Similarly, the Zelos Swordfish Diver is a created from a blend of angular aerodynamic surfaces and exceptional components. This makes the Zelos Swordfish a sleek yet competent diver's watch. A highly luminous dial was also our top priority, with a sandwich construction and generous layers of Superluminova C3 and BGW9 painted on. A 316L SS bracelet is included with the super hard ceramic bezel to top it off.

One reason why I've always been a fan of DLC or PVD black and gunmetal finishes on watches is the contrast they provide when paired with a nice brown strap.
