Since its inception, the Contrail was designed to be the ultimate travel watch. The core design features were developed based on our individual needs and preferences as our team travelled the world over the past few years to pursue NodeX™ licensing agreements. As we continue to grow in our seventh year of operation, our travel needs have also grown accordingly. With a global customer base combined with international manufacturing and retail partners, the Intersect Watch Show gathering steam domestically and abroad, and, of course, our own wanderlust, the latest generation of Contrail had some big boxes to check.
The new Contrail GMT watch takes the essence of its predecessors and elevates it with a sleek and versatile design. Leaning into our dedication to efficient design, the redesigned case offers one of the thinnest profiles for a Miyota 9075 watch on the market today. Designed for a comfortable fit on the wrist, the Contrail GMT ensures that style doesn't compromise functionality. The hallmark features remain intact, ensuring ease of use and clear legibility at a glance. As we continue to evolve in our journey at Nodus, the Contrail GMT stands as a testament to our commitment to creating the ultimate travel companion for our global community of adventurers.

Stamped deeply into the case back is the Contrail's namesake—the vapour trails left by air travellers around the world and a tribute to the limitless horizons and the interconnectedness of humanity. The Contrail's design captures the essence of travel and exploration, symbolized by the elegant vapour trails etched on its case back. The bracelet features a NodeX on-the-fly adjustable clasp, facilitating swift and effortless resizing to accommodate changes in body dimensions at varying altitudes. The proprietary NodeX module ensures that finding the perfect fit is as easy as pushing a button.
