# Zelos Hammerhead V3 Titanium Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Zelos Hammerhead V3 Titanium is a robust microbrand diver blending titanium lightness with bold tool-watch aesthetics, featuring a distinctive hammerhead bezel insert, meteorite or patterned dials in various colors, and strong BGW9 lume for low-light legibility, powered by the reliable Seiko NH38 automatic movement offering 41 hours of power reserve, appealing to adventure-oriented collectors seeking high-spec value under $1,000.

## Overall Watch Rating: 7.2/10.0

**Brand Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Zelos earns solid marks as a respected microbrand with enthusiast appeal akin to Christopher Ward, punching above its weight in materials and design innovation.

**History & Innovation Metric (5.8/10.0)** - While Zelos has built a niche following for unique dials and cases since 2014, it lacks deep historical legacy but innovates with titanium divers comparable to early Oris releases.

**Rarity Metric (6.2/10.0)** - At around $750 secondary with limited production runs under 100 units per variant, it offers moderate exclusivity similar to many microbrand LEs.

**Material Metric (9.3/10.0)** - Grade 2 titanium case paired with double-domed sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel delivers premium lightweight durability on par with higher-end dive watches like the Tudor Pelagos.

**Movement Metric (5.3/10.0)** - The Seiko NH38 provides reliable automatic performance with hacking and hand-winding but remains a workhorse ETA7750 alternative without standout finishing.

**Complications Metric (1.5/10.0)** - Lacking any true complications beyond basic timekeeping, it scores low like most no-frills divers.

**Functions Metric (5.1/10.0)** - Core hours, minutes, seconds, and date suffice for daily use, matching entry-level automatics like the Seiko 5.

**Dials & Design Metric (8.4/10.0)** - The aggressive hammerhead bezel, textured dials, and applied indices create a cohesive, aggressive tool aesthetic superior to standard Seiko divers.

**Versatility Metric (7.6/10.0)** - Excellent as a beater diver for water sports or casual wear, with titanium comfort boosting everyday appeal beyond rigid steel tool watches.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 6.8
## TPS Interpretation: Strong Value: The watch exceeds expectations with premium materials and design at its accessible price point.
## WM Collector Grade: B
## Performance Insights: Excels in materials and design for a microbrand diver while movement and complications are average, delivering excellent value well below its implied $1,450 price.
