Each the Contrail GMT and Duality II are skinny, with instances thinner than 12mm, each embody bracelets that includes the Nodus Extension clasp and quick-release spring bars, and each characteristic blue-tinted anti-reflective coating on the undersides of their crystals. The blue AR coating is maybe my favourite characteristic of Nodus watches, because it appears very premium and distinctive for this worth level. (It jogs my memory of the coating utilized by IWC on its sapphire crystals.)
Talking of the worth level, the Contrail GMT Evergreen is available in at simply $825, and the Duality II Drift Blue is even cheaper at $800. Each costs are the identical as what you’ll pay for different colours of the identical fashions.
