About the brand
Zelos, an independent microbrand founded in Singapore in 2014 by Elshan Tang, has cultivated a global collector base for its sports-oriented mechanical watches. Known for original designs and limited runs, the brand frequently incorporates unusual materials such as meteorite, carbon fiber, and Damascus steel into its dive watches, chronographs, GMTs, and field-style models. This distinctive use of materials and textures, particularly in popular dive lines like the Hammerhead and Swordfish, offers a strong value proposition to collectors.
