Nodus refines its sector-dial language with a split limited release

40 stainless-steel watches and 20 bronze pieces. Nodus calls the approach '40 & 20' — two distinct limited runs that share a clear sector-dial idea but differ in metal, finish and reference number to target collectors who want choice without complication.

The Sector wears like a modern classic. Case diameter is 40.0 mm, lug-to-lug 48.2 mm and thickness 12.5 mm. Lugs are drilled and the lug width is 20 mm — the edition’s namesake. The steel reference (NS-01S) is 316L with alternating brushed and polished surfaces. The bronze (NS-01B) uses CuSn8 and will develop a patina over time.

Movement and core specifications

A Sellita SW200-1 runs the watch. It offers about a 38–40 hour reserve, 28,800 vph, hacking seconds and hand-winding. Nodus regulates each movement in multiple positions. A boxed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating tops the dial and an exhibition caseback shows the rotor finish. Water resistance is 100 meters and the crown screws down.

The dial is where the Sector makes its case. Nodus layers concentric rings with a central opaline sector, a raised outer chapter ring with applied, chamfered indices and slender syringe hands filled with Super-LumiNova. The bronze gets a warm, tea-toned dial and a matte bezel insert to match the evolving metal. The steel is offered in sunburst or matte finishes. Small touches — recessed minutes track and a framed date at 6 o’clock — keep the look tidy and intentional.

For collectors who value precise proportions and provenance over gimmickry, this split limited release is an intelligent play — familiar motifs, carefully chosen materials, and a sensible movement at a price that keeps the watch within reach.

Practical details: NS-01S (steel) is limited to 40 pieces at $849. NS-01B (bronze) is 20 pieces at $999. Orders open immediately with delivery expected June 2026. Each watch ships with two straps (leather and a signed bracelet/bracelet alternative depending on the edition), a numbered certificate and microbrand-style customer support. Given Nodus’ release history, both runs should move quickly — the bronze especially.

If you want a wearable sector dial and a sensible Swiss engine, decide which metal fits your wrist and taste. Bronze will patina and likely disappear fastest. Steel offers the cleaner, more versatile option at a lower price.
