Abyss 3000m Bronze. Engineered for the extremes
After the successful launch of 2 timepieces, the Helmsman and Chroma, Zelos chose to offer a watch created from their most loved material, marine grade bronze. It was outlined focused around prompts from the Helmsman however assembled to withstand the extremes.
The Abyss was imagined to survive the most rebuffing of profundities. All aspects of the case was overhauled to oppose the serious water weights which would effortlessly pound metals.
Bronze was the characteristic decision for the Abyss, having first been presented with the Helmsman. Bronze has dependably been nearly connected to the ocean as it is a standout amongst the most consumption safe metals accessible. An oxide layer, called a patina, structures a defensive skin over the long haul to secure the metal. This patina individualizes every Abyss, making totally extraordinary pieces. What begins as a glossy rose-gold, ages with the air into a provincial tan.
The patina is effectively mistaken for rust, yet the fundamental metal is simply covered up underneath. Rebuilding to its unique sparkle is conceivable with the utilization of usually accessible cleaning specialists.
By joining this rural metal with the most recent in designing, the Abyss was made.
The muscular bronze case was intended to withstand the misuse yet the fine subtle elements were not overlooked. Chamfered edges are finely cleaned to flawlessness and whatever is left of the case is brushed to give a complexity.
The sapphire precious stone mounted to secure the substance of the Abyss may appear straightforward yet it is anything besides, making it a standout amongst the most lavish parts of the watch. It quantifies 7mm thick, critical in giving the imperviousness to the smashing water weight. It is twofold domed fit as a fiddle (domed on the outside and inside) to decrease twisting when seen at an edge. Inward hostile to intelligent coatings likewise keep any undesirable reflections and enhances decipherability.
Diving Features
The omnipresent jumper’s bezel is introduce on the Abyss, finely machined with 120 teeth. A Helium Escape Valve is additionally introduced to give usefulness to immersion jumpers.
Similarly as with the Helmsman, we have included an inner bezel which is seldom seen among profound plunging watches. This gives extra timing usefulness if needed, without any danger of the bezel turning accidentally.
Arriving at the Depths
Keeping up a water safety of up to 3000m obliges a complex offset of thick metal housings and fine gaskets fixing each conceivable purpose of spillage. Each of the crowns have 5 gaskets to guarantee a waterproof seal, while a twofold O-ring framework seals the weighty 4mm thick stainless steel screwdown caseback.
Routine water weight testing supplies for watches are typically accessible for 300m or 500m. Testing to the crazy weights of 3000m includes extravagant Swiss made supplies which did not bode well for a little organization like Zelos to buy. A weight analyzer was then collected out of economically accessible parts for only 1/20th the cost of a business Swiss made analyzer!
