Please sit back and enjoy this review of my Zelos Mako Version 3. This is the Frost edition, with the full lume dial. My thanks to my buddy Rob, owner of the Random Rob channel, for selling this sold-out watch to me. I hope you enjoy the presentation.

Full BGW9 Lumed dial with black lumed hands and indices
Introducing the V3 edition of the Mako which has undergone the most drastic changes thus far. The 'Whirlpool' Guilloche dial is a sight to behold, with a texture that plays with the light. The dial has also been designed to be cleaner with fewer markings, with larger indices for even brighter lume. Case thickness has also been reduced for the Mako V3, to a svelte 11.5mm without the thick domed crystal. This is achieved through the use of the thinner Miyota 9015 which also offers an even lower price point and amazing timekeeping.
The Mako Diver
The Mako Shark: the fastest shark in the world. Smaller and streamlined, it was an ideal image for our latest diver's watch compared to our previous 'Hammerhead' model.
Featuring design cues from the 60s, constructed with modern technology, the Mako Diver is a capable diver's timepiece. The sapphire crystal has a 'box' shape similar to the acrylic crystals of old, without the scratches common with acrylic. A ceramic bezel offers extreme hardness against all the abuse you could throw at it. The watch also features 300m of water resistance to survive any depth you could take it down to.
The dial and bezel is painted for maximum visibility in the dark. A mixture of C3 and BGW9 lume is applied generously across all markings and the crown. The 3D patterns on the dial reflects light beautifully and makes it a joy to behold.
At 40mm in diameter, the watch does not look out of place on a dressier outfit. A short 46mm lug to lug length also ensures a good fit even on smaller wrists.
