Nodus are known for their bold, contemporary takes on classic watch designs, and the Sector Pilot is no different. It's a modern interpretation of the pilots watch, and as such has all the features a globetrotter needs in their watch.
The high-contrast dial has bold white hands and markers packed with Super-LumiNova for legibility in any lighting, along with a handy day/date display. For added flair Nodus have incorprated a stepped dial and sloped minute track to add some height to the design.
The case measures 38mm in diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug. The bidirectional bezel overhangs the case by a millimeter to make it easy to grip, and is available in either a brushed steel, or black DLC finish. The steel case features an engraved screw-down crown and caseback for up to 100 metres of water resistance. Meanwhile, a mix of brushed and polished surfaces help the Sector Pilot tread the line between formal and functional.
An oversized crown helps with winding the reliable Seiko NH36 movement, providing 41 hours of power reserve. Nodus have taken the time to regulate the movement in four positions, which makes the watch accurate to +/- 10 secs/day. The Sector Pilot watch also comes with a quick-release steel bracelet with the engraved Nodus logo on the clasp.
