Diver here - the open bezel might be a good idea - when my normal bezel gets grit in it from diving, its this awful feeling of grinding gears as you submerge it in a a basin of water and turn it til its smooth again. The open bezel might actually mean that the grit gets out of the ratcheting mechanism more easily.
Never thought of that but that's a great point
@@peterkull8354 baahhaha agreed :))
Yes, I thought so too.. I remember my first seiko diver back in late 80's.. Sand getting in to the bezel was nightmare to get rid of...Since that experience, I've got a few diver's watch but I only use my trusty old G-shock for the sea.
My 2 cents:
The "N" logo on its side kinda looks too much like the "Z" Zelos logo.
Exposed bezel ratchet is not an issue since I'd bet that 99.9% of buyers will never use it for diving.
My thoughts as well on the logo
I actually thought it was a Zelos.
Yup it looks way to close to Zelos.
Dirt, dust, nd grime will still get in there over time. I spend enough time cleaning my watches as is.
The Z similarity doesn't bother much as it more solidifies Zelos' recognition in the industry. People love seiko nd rolex influences, maybe one day Zelos could hold the same pedigree
@@tommydude969 ripping off a logo doesn't solidify zelos as a company, it's just stealing intellectual property.
I really like this piece. I think even the exposed spring fits the design language. The fact there's three fits the trident name imo. This feels very vintage dive suit to me.
I like the exposed springs, but I hate the bezel shape lol.
I bought the Trident quartz version early this year which is the world’s slimmest dive watch at 6.8mm. I don’t think they claimed the Auto version was the thinnest. I got the all blue model, absolutely love it, definitely a conversation point. Worth every penny.
Got one for my dad with engraving. Really cool and well build. So I got one for myself 😅. Don’t worry about the open bezel, it’s easy to clean. I was skeptical at first (like anyone else would) as the design was quite different, but when I’ve received the watch for my father, I just had to have one too.
It's not for me but I definitely can appreciate the unique style and the willingness to create something new.
It has no lume on the bezel, so it can't be used as a diver. Because there are big numbers molded into the metal of the bezel at 12 instead of an arrow, there's no room for a lume pip to be glued on. (If it was a triangle instead of 00, there'd be a nice flat surface to stick one onto.)
I like thick dive watches. Like wearing a diving helmet on my arm. Substantial size and weight. A chance at interchangeable bracelets is a must for me. Maybe flat endlinks or hidden under the bezel so if it's visable it's seamless. Everyone's taste is different and we can never impress everyone and I do like the dial as well
I give them credit for thinking outside the box, but this is one I would leave in the box, and sell! Looks to much like something Invicta would make, not too big, just to flamboyant!
It seems to lean towards "fashion" dive watch, a conversation starter as opposed to a legit diver. I'm curious as to the opinion of a person who actually dives, would you wear this? Does this seem like a daily driver that can take the rigors of scuba diving?
A screw down case back with no display would have been the better option for the thinnest diver.
Nice revue Jory and I agree with you on your cons, I also don't like the N in Nove looking
like the Z in Zelos...
mother of pearl might look good on a subdial but on the main dial I don't like it
"90's sports watch desing" AKA *Tacky*
Nice dial , lovely little unique piece 👌
I like this watch.I like the coating,looks like jewelry piece and i belive thay will sell fast.It's not to expensive,it has nice spec,great movement and you can go swiming in the pool
not so mutch in the sea.I would love to get one
I really like the quartz thinness and was disappointed by the declared 13mm. Could the dome be thinner on either side?
Also, I asked about a stainless / silver including ratchets and crown & hands + dial. They only do one in black which isn't for me.
Anyways, really hope to see a new version with smaller domes and monochrome silver :-)
Your message to Vacheron ...... Priceless ... !!!
I'm looking for something similar to a Breitling avenger night mission but affordable. Any suggestions or recommendations? Not looking for fakes, just something with a similar look and feel.
My citizen ny0040 is 12mm thick…and it is a proper iso divers watch. The quartz nove trident version is very thin
European dive distributors were selling the Steelix Eclipse Solar I was looking for... they sell dive computers nowadays instead of dive watches...
Get real, a bezel is ancient technology nowadays to get you in memory lane...Reminds me on the Antikythera mechanism on this interp.
Love to see this watch without bezel and slimmer wristband + T100 lume. The case back is soo pretty!
Chinese build? interesting!
Interesting looking design.
Coffee ice cream is OP!!
Coffee is a lovely ice cream, but it has been scientifically proven that haagen dazs rum raisin is by far the best ice cream.
Is automatic Ronda movements good ?
I’ve seen some microbrands using Ronda movements lately.
Really nice dial.
I think this is a clown watch but you gotta admire their courage.......a bit different thinking, good for them. Imagine getting sand in allthose exposed springs.....As an open water diver it's not a serious watch but the Silver one looks.......kinda cool
That Zelos logo though...
If you measure the thickness at the crown, thinner still! ;-) Good vid. Keep at it!
Hmmmmm didn't know about this watch brand .... have to admit, I do like the look of their watches :)
I want to like this. What the heck, its pretty cool. As said before, a 100% desk diver.
Tq. Apart from the price, i like it. Haha
Those are some nice Links. The Zelda ones, I mean.
The coating is PVD… is a micro coating but it’s pretty resilient.
Im not sure id want a butterfly clasp and open bezel on a dive watch, and i cant say its all that legible but i know theres some varients , id see it more like a dress watch , but is a unique watch a nice conversation starter
Love the dial that's about it
I actually own that model. Bought it just to have the weirdness, but interestingly my Mrs stole it and now Wears it. One thing to note I found the bezel hard to turn...
Uh, no. I do like MOP dials and I agree this one was very nice. I also agree different strokes............ so if you like this one, all the power to ya and wear in good health. Thanks for the review.
SWISS WATCH GANG just had this Nove!
Again i vote for a test of the casioak!
NICE....!
I like the brand!
Interesting. Look a little bit to fashionable. To be use as diver. But looks interesting, industrial/steampunk
Guess bronze or rose gold bracelet are all the rage now. Tudor, Oris, Zelos and now this Nove. c",)
To out there and yes Coffee Ice Cream is the best ice cream!
I was about to order on kickstarter but unfortunately due to covid it wasn't going to be ship to India
Absolutly agree with your analysis of this watch..i was loving her for his strange look,like the poor swiss gold submariner,but after your video,i am realy disapointing...you destroy my dream haha...but very well,i prefere to spent my limited money in better watch..thanks
Yeees, Nove! Let's get down to buisiness!
“And I mean really” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glycine combat sub is 10.5mm thick - just sayin...
Good luck trying to read that dial underwater .... a beautiful watch though .
There is an Ali Express watch brand called Retangula who make a Seiko Monster homage with a lot of unique differences to the original Seiko. One of them is a toothed gear style bezel with the ⚙ on the outside. Here, it's on the inside. Is this the first Swiss homage of an Ali Express homage?. Hate to say it, but the Retangula looks better. This one here is pretty ugly and nothing more than a fashion dive watch.
That's entirely irrelevant, the tooth design on that watch is just for looks, whereas the teeth in this one is entirely for function. I'm all for chinese watches and homage, but in this case saying that it pays homage to something else just because the design shares a similar design element is entirely ignorant.
I wouldn’t trust ANYTHING that Ali sells.
I'd say this -
PROS: I really like the integrated bracelet, the clasp (if it works) looks solid and well made , the bracelet links look nicely finished and designed, screw fixed links and bracelet is a huge pro, the caseback is really nice! movement properly sized for the display.
CONS: I just think the mix of materials and optics does not go well with eachother at all. mother of pearl dial on an bronze-style coated stainless steel watch with an open bezel-click system? naaaah. this is too try-hard "out there". Oh and the date window with the date inside looks horrible. Give me the specs and my mentioned pros on a stainless steel watch with a nice monocolored dial and I'd be into it!
JORI, if I were a steampunk guy, I would want this on my wrist!
Thinnest diver I know of: Zenith Rainbow Elite from the 90's at 9,0mm with 200m water resistance!
Did I mention I own one? ;)
It isn't even the thinnest but the Sinn U50 is 11.1 mm thick
their were talking about the quartz version and yes it is the thinnest
It’s more like a ladies watch but a bit big really. It’s something different I suppose
This is so weird looking and I totally love it lol
Seems to me that "dive watch" should be in quotations marks more so than "thinnest". Maybe if you were hanging out at Liberace's pool. Or if you were a Russian pimp on vacation in the Bahamas. It would probably look great with a Speedo and a big gold medallion hanging around your neck.
Also, the screws to secure the caseback just seem like four potential points. Not that you'd (hopefully) be loosening and tightening them very often, but it seems like the answer to a question that no one asked, and I really don't see how four points of contact would seal better than having the sealing pressure spread over the entire diameter with a screw in caseback.
The colours are a tad out there for my tastes, and really dislike dates at 3...overall cool shape tho. 👍🏻👍🏻
“Looks like a part missing “ couldn’t have said it better
Is it just me?.. But why are there two minute hands?!
Interesting. I'm not sure why Nove bother talking about the thickness though. An NTH sub is only 11.5mm.
Well it's certainly not cookie cutter, the mop dial is really beautiful but I'm not sold on the exposed elements, I can see them getting clogged up and not working properly after a while. Appreciate their unique approach but it's not for me.
Am I the only thinking Zelos wannabe and the fact the logo is almost the zelos one but well sideways
I think my combat sub is thinner.... Don't like the looks, but it certainly isn't boring.
If Ronda Rousey doesn't have a Ronda movement watch I'mma be mad.
Hmm nice ladies watch :)
Now in silver stainless with an off white dial ok.
Why is there a Zelos logo on the clasp?🤪🤪🤣🤣
I'm not sufficiently flamboyant to wear that. 😆
Did you mean "sh**test? I almost vomited a lung!
Hard pass. Looks like a mall watch sold at those stands that also sell grills.
Yup , it looks like something invicta would make. Just 5 mm thinner
Breitling colt is 11.2mm
I mean it's cool because it's different but I wouldn't buy it unless it was $400 cheaper
I was interested in Nove, however these are made in Hong Kong smh. Just finished reading a whole interview with the "designer"Tiffany Meerovitsch. I hate when brands fake it to try to make it. Zelos is the only Chinese company recently that's willing to say up front that they sell a Chinese made product, so I respect that and consider their watches as cheap and good alternatives. Honesty is the best policy when they ask you to spend hundreds of dollars. Nove on the other hand is trying to pull a fast one and is officially trash to me, they can keep their "swiss" made but Manufactured in China watches.
I am going to guess…your Jedi mind trick did not work?
I doubt it will ever see sea or lake water. All the indices are the same and it doesn't even have the bezel dot .
The exposed springs are a gimmick.
Did they want to create the thinnest diver?
Flat glass and monobloc case, with a screw on the back to unlock the crown stem to keep costs down.
Isn't that just a Zelos logo rotated 90 degrees?
I just can’t see it as a dive watch. Very different though.
I would’ve bought this if they hadn’t messed so much up on it
No way worth $690.00 USD, Ronda R150 automatic movement wholesale $65.00 USD. A $150.00 USD at very best!
You saying it’s a solar system orbiting the dial I can’t not Unsee that now haha. This watch is a hard pass. I mean I get it, but it looks awful to me. Just my opinion that no one asked for lol. But I like they are thinking differently tho
If it was bronze or brass & without the MOP dial, it would make a great steampunk convo piece.
As it is, it's a bit of a mongrel.
How much is it?
Edit: $690
Also 46 mm is gigantic
I think Nove get credit for originality, sadly I don’t like it
Hahaha!!! 12:40 look your wrist with the watch and delete the next 3 seconds...
It just doesn't match, the beautiful mother of pearl dial with the heavy overmachined bezel ,,so ugly.could of been so much better imo
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I can’t even behold this watch. It’s like a cotton candy machine and a throwing star bumped uglies inside a Tik Tok meme. Please destroy it now.
it looks like an invicta hahaha
I'll say the same EVERY time i see this watch, tell me what happens if you take this on a sandy beach... I cringe imagining the bezel turning full of sand (if anyone will ever be able to....!!!). Plus this design is like a kid's draw of a steampunk flower. That good... NOT. 😋
PS Comment was done before seeing the vid...😂😂😂
The date complication is stupid
To me this a Tool watch.
The logo looks like the Zelos logo 😒
Funny, the first thing I noticed about this watch was that it is ugly.
12:48 : ..., however, you gotta really have a bad taste for watches.
The bezel is blehh
¡¡Horrible thing!!... Oh, but it´s a swiss watch... Jejeje... (or how "Bronze and mather of pearl is not always a good mix"). It seems like a rap singer´s watch...
Arf Arf
It’s horrendous!
