Nodus – Unity Vitreous Yellow

Nature is a perfect unification of beauty and function. Whether it's the colours of flower petals, the texture of tree bark, or the iris of the human eye – the natural colours and materials of the world around us serve a purpose that is both functional and aesthetic. It is from these natural phenomena that the Unity collection draws its inspiration.

Within a compact 36.5mm case crafted from 316L surgical stainless steel lies a surprising depth of craftsmanship. The star of each model is a fixed bezel with a ceramic insert, coloured and polished to seamlessly integrate with the case and visually blend with the sapphire crystal. The hybrid dial combines a sandwich construction with applied indices, while the highly polished bevels of the hands literally mirror the surrounding world – significantly enhancing readability.

The dial is produced using the vitreous enamel method: glass powder is fused directly onto a metal base at temperatures over 700°C, creating an enameled surface that will never fade, peel, or age. The result is a characteristic liquid depth and a high-gloss, milky appearance that reflects light in a way that a conventional painted dial can never achieve.

Unity watches are designed and assembled in Los Angeles. They are powered by the proven Miyota Cal. 9015 automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve, regulated by Nodus to an accuracy of ±8 s/day.

Unity - Vitreous Yellow

Honey yellow evokes a warm late summer afternoon – rich, saturated, yet friendly. The Vitreous Yellow dial gets its colour from vitreous enamel, whose unique technology gives the dial an inimitable warm glow and depth. No two pieces look exactly alike – each bears the mark of the manufacturing process as a personal seal.

The gold-yellow ceramic bezel seamlessly connects to the dial, creating a harmonious whole. Contrasting hour markers and hands with bright BGW9 luminescence ensure perfect readability in any light. The Unity Vitreous Yellow is a watch for those who are not afraid of expression – and yet demand precise craftsmanship.

Nodus is an independent American watch brand based in Los Angeles, founded in 2017 by long-time friends and watch enthusiasts Wesley Kwok and Cullen Chen. Since its inception, the brand has positioned itself as a development-oriented company focused on the design and construction of modern mechanical watches that combine functional design with a high level of technical craftsmanship.

The brand's philosophy is based on the idea of "purpose-built watches" – watches designed for a specific purpose. Nodus models draw on the tradition of classic tool-watch categories such as dive, field, or sports watches, complementing them with contemporary construction elements and modern manufacturing processes.

A significant part of the brand's identity is also its own development of technical solutions and components. Nodus consistently invests in research into manufacturing processes and construction details – from micro-adjustment clasp systems and bezel construction to the optimization of cases and other functional elements. Watches are designed and finally assembled in Los Angeles, where they undergo inspection, regulation, and testing before being shipped to customers.

Thanks to a combination of thoughtful design, robust construction, and an emphasis on technical details, Nodus has built a strong position among independent watch brands within a few years. Vandaag's collections include a wide range of sports models – from versatile everyday watches to specialized tool models designed for active use.
