THE DIAL

As pointed out formerly, the dial can be obtained as date or no date format, that one being latter. Personally, I favor no date format. It doesn't only remove extra clutter however i find Irrrve never bother setting the dates on my small mechanicals as I’m forever in a grab-and-go situation.

The dial is really a deep matte black, which utilises SuperLuminova BGW-9 lume. The lume is nice and excellent, and in addition it features around the markings within the bezel insert that is awesome at nighttime.

The Nodus Trieste uses applied hour markers aplomb. Attractive and shaped trapezoids can be found at 12, 3, 6 and 9, using the remaining as dvds. They all are lume full of a elegant border for them, to complement both your hands.

Both your hands really are a nice option to the typical: they fan by helping cover their a set top along with a little squared point around the tip. The seconds hands is really a straight point having a slight trapezoid close to the finish full of lume.

There's minimal print work that is welcome, I favor so that it is such as this instead of an excessive amount of. The emblem is printed centrally within the top half, using the model name and water proofing inside the bottom half. The only real other factor is really a subtle minute track printed round the periphery.

THE Situation

The situation is available in two colour options, upright steel or PVD black coated. Additionally for this, you might also need 3 bezel colours to select from: black, burgundy (that one) or deep blue.

It’s an attractive size at 41mm - just shy from the slightly bigger popular size 42mm, which really is important towards the wearability from the watch - exactly that small difference as well as the exclusion of crown pads causes it to be simpler around the wrist and eye.

The finishing is brushed, bar polished shoulders around the lugs which splits up the conventional barrel shape.

Having a weight of 165g, the Trieste is around the heavier aspect, therefore it seems like a good quality watch around the wrist.

Sitting atop the situation is really a double domed azure very, which enables permanently visibility in the tightest of angles. It features a blue anti-reflective coating around the bottom, that I’ve not discovered to be too good at reducing glare regrettably.

The bezel insert consists of azure, that is a enjoyable surprise. Due to this, it features a glossy finish into it which reflects the sunshine well and catches the attention. The printing around the insert is lumed as pointed out formerly.

The crown has excellent grip and also the emblem deeply and precisely engraved around the finish. It’s simple to use with a decent thread.

The caseback comes with an interesting motif within the center, with assorted watch specifics engraved surrounding it.

THE STRAP

The Nodus Trieste rocks a steel bracelet finished to complement the situation. The hyperlinks are brushed on top, with polished sides. They utilise screw-in pins, that is a welcome addition instead of traditional pins thus the bracelet is simple to re-size.

The finish lugs fit nicely towards the situation, displaying precise machining.

The switch-lock clasp may be the one factor I’d want to see improved. It might be best to have double locking (using the buttons quietly to spread out the buckle), but additionally I've found the very best flap is a touch simple to pick up it isn't as secure as I’d wished. However, this might just be the deterioration of the press sample. The Nodus emblem is engraved on the top from the buckle body.

THE MOVEMENT

I’ve not really heard about the STP 1-11 before, but I’m pleased to be knowledgeable about new movements. After a little searching, as it happens it's the Fossil Group’s answer and direct replica from the ETA 2824-2, just like the Sellita SW200. ETA’s design isn't copyrighted any longer hence why this really is permitted.

There is a wonderful breakdown here http://watchguy.co.united kingdom/review-stp-1-11/, by which Christian states he really prefers the STP 1-11 towards the ETA because of some enhancements which have been made. It’s kind of unfortunate you cannot view it though.

The specs incorporate a high beat of 28.8k bph, 26 jewels, and 44 hrs power reserve.

The rear of the warranty card shows the regulation per position - and to be honest it’s mightily impressive they visit this effort. I’ve tested the timepiece on my small Lepsi Watch Scope, and it is better still compared to what they condition its testing within COSC specs in a crazy  1.2 sec/day. Now that’s real dedication.
