The hour markers are applied, but the centers that would usually be filled with lume are cut out in the style of a sandwich dial. I would personally argue that there are three layers to the Duality’s dial, however. The watch has two crowns, is offered in two colors, and has a double-layered dial. The dial is where the Duality really hits its stride. I believe that’s a really attractive entry-level price point - the incorporation of a Swiss Sellita or ETA movement would likely bump the price of this piece into a different category. Keeping cost in mind, these Dualities are just $700. While this might be the case, I’ve owned several watches with Miyota 90XX movements, and they always perform excellently. This is generally thought to be a cheaper alternative to a Swiss movement. This seems perfectly fine to me - 24 jewels and a 28,800 BPH movement. Nodus chose the Miyota 9015 for the Duality. Otherwise, it doesn’t fully disengage the mechanism, and it’ll move it a hair while you’re screwing it down. One thing I have noticed is that you need to be very intentional when screwing down the bezel adjustment crown. The crown at 3:30 winds the watch and sets the time. The top crown at roughly 2 o’clock adjusts the internal bezel. Speaking about the crowns, there are two. When you’re wearing this watch, it dances through the light like a small mirror. I think this is due primarily to the polished bezel, polished handset, and applied indices. This is pretty straightforward for a watch of this caliber, although when you get it on the wrist, you notice that the Duality has a luster unfamiliar at this price point. The Duality comes in a 40mm 316L stainless steel case. The Duality, Nodus’ most recent release, examines depth and dimension on its dial by combining sandwich dials with applied elements. Nodus makes an effort to explore different aspects of watch design with its releases.
Debuting back in 2017 with its Trieste diver, the brand has put forth a concerted effort to make uniqu, high-quality, affordable timepieces that stand on their own merits. I have a tendency to be skeptical when things like that happen. It went from being a brand that operated on the fringes of social media to one that you see every time you open Instagram. It seemed like almost overnight, Nodus watches were everywhere.
