Nodus returns to the sector dial with a contemporary twist

150 pieces mark the 40&20 Edition — a limited run that pairs a classic sector dial layout with modern execution. Nodus keeps the geometry that made the style popular but updates the case, finishing and movement so the watch reads vintage without feeling fragile or fussy.

The Sector uses a 40mm 316L stainless steel case that measures 11.8mm thick on paper but wears slimmer thanks to short, downward‑sweeping lugs and a 20mm lug width — the source of the 40&20 name. A domed, double anti‑reflective sapphire sits over a stepped sector dial (central disc, minute track, outer chapter ring). Applied markers and a faceted handset keep legibility high in low light as well as daylight.

Movement, materials and specs

• Reference numbers: NODUS‑SEC‑01 (standard), NODUS‑SEC‑40/20‑LTD (limited)
• Case: 40mm × 11.8mm, 316L stainless steel, brushed and polished surfaces
• Crystal: Domed sapphire with double anti‑reflective coating
• Movement: Miyota 9015 automatic, 28,800 vph, hacking and hand‑winding, ~42‑hour power reserve
• Water resistance: 100 metres
• Strap: 20mm quick‑release leather strap; optional signed three‑link bracelet

Nodus chose the Miyota 9015 for the standard models — a practical pick that preserves a smooth 28,800 vph sweep and everyday reliability while keeping price accessible. Case finishing alternates brushed flanks with polished bevels. A screw‑down crown raises perceived robustness without changing the vintage lines.

“The sector dial is a lesson in restraint — it’s about proportion more than ornamentation. We wanted to keep that ethos intact while giving collectors a watch they can wear every day,” says an insider familiar with the project.

The 40&20 Edition pushes the design slightly further: bolder two‑tone dial finishing, a contrasting seconds hand, an engraved solid caseback and a numbered plate. It’s limited to 150 pieces (NODUS‑SEC‑40/20‑LTD) and will be sold exclusively through Nodus’s web store as a pre‑order batch. Pricing is $575 for the standard Sector and $725 for the 40&20; pre‑orders open April 20, 2026 with deliveries beginning late June.

If you want a daily‑wear sector dial that won’t chase hype prices, the standard Sector is the practical buy; the 40&20 is the collectible target if you prefer a finite run and a slightly bolder look. Decide by April 20, 2026 — that’s when the pre‑order window opens and the clock on 150 pieces starts ticking.
