 This model is replica watches equipped with a 12-hr bezel making it easy to adjust the bezel for a second-time zone. If you travel a fair bit and don’t need a dive bezel, it’s a great option to have. The only downside is that the 60-click bezel is difficult to turn. This is due to a combination of a low bezel height, a bezel slightly smaller diameter than the case, and stiff action. For a dive bezel that’s being used often that could be an annoyance, but actually, in the case of a 12-hr bezel that’s only going to be moved when traveling, for the most part, I prefer a stiff bezel that’s not going to be jarred out of place.

The dial and bezel are definitely eye-catching, but it’s when you get to the case and start looking at the details that things get really impressive. That said, trying to communicate fit and finish is probably the most challenging part of reviewing watches. The Zelos Horizons 39mm is one of those watches that you put on and wonder why other watches in your collection cost as much as they do. I’m not sure how Elshan Tang (Zelos’s founder) is sweet-talking his manufacturing partners into providing cases with so many smooth lines, sharp transitions, contrasting polished and brushed fake Omega surfaces, and excellent finishing at a price where he’s able to still make a profit. And the same goes for other elements like the bracelet and dial. It’s a very well-made watch that happens to cost only $549. At this price point (and above for that matter) a lot of watches will skimp on the details or simply feel, well, cheap. Not so with the Zelos – it feels like a well-built, well-executed watch that I enjoy seeing and feeling on my wrist all day.

The bracelet is a classic three-link style, but it nails the details. First, the links are nicely brushed and are softened at the edge, giving the watch a smooth, pillowy feel. It’s not something you notice immediately, but you certainly do when it’s on the wrist. Second, the bracelet uses quick-release spring bars — it’s one of those little touches that once you get used to, you start getting annoyed with your other watches when you have to dig out your spring bar tool. Finally, the clasp. In the Horizons GMT, Zelos went with a simple stamped clasp, something that David Bredan and other reviewers grumbled about. Well, issue resolved with the Horizons 39mm. We now have a machined push-button clasp with a tool-free micro-adjust. The buckle has a large etched Zelos logo and feels as fake rolex solid as the rest of the watch. My tiny quibble is that the micro-adjust, while useful, is rather stiff and awkward to use….still easier than breaking out the spring bar tool though! The downside here is that now I’m even more grumpy that significantly more expensive watches in my collection still use cheaply stamped clasps.
