Sector Dive GMT - The Pen Addict Edition

  • The Pen Addict is a weekly fix for all things stationery. Pens, pencils, paper, ink – you name it, and Brad Dowdy and Myke Hurley are into it.

    With the explosion of the “EDC” community over the past few years, the crossover between the pen and watch worlds has become more prominent than ever. This collaboration is a testament to the shared passion for craftsmanship and analog technology.

    Designed in collaboration with The Pen Addict podcast, the Sector Dive GMT TPA Edition benefits St. Jude’s – long time partner of The Pen Addict and Relay.FM. Crafted with the needs and desires of the Pen Addict community in mind, the TPA edition boasts a "Poker Chip" countdown bezel alongside a GMT complication.

Canyon by Matt Farah - Sunset Orange

  • In collaboration with the Nodus Design Lab, Matt Farah - automotive journalist, car enthusiast and avid watch collector - created the Canyon, the ideal companion for his drives through the Los Angeles valley, filming for his automotive review channel The Smoking Tire.

    With subtle nods to automotive themes, the Canyon is inspired by design cues from Matt’s personal car collection as well as his vision for what the perfect everyday watch should be: durable, versatile, and fun.

Sector Deep AWWC Edition

August 2023

  • In collaboration with the Nodus Design Lab, Anti Watch, Watch Club - veteran and LEO/First Responder-centric 501(c)(3) organization - created the Deep AWWC Edition.

    A portion of proceeds from each watch will be going towards All in, All the Time Foundation, a Naval Special Warfare charity that fills the interim needs of surviving family members of fallen warriors.

  • Based on the Sector Deep platform, the AWWC edition features a “blacked out” case, where each component is individually DLC-coated for optimal stealth and durability.

    This special edition Deep features the Anti Watch, Watch Club logo at the 8 o’clock position on the dial, a red seconds hand, and the AWWC crown logo on the crown of the watch.

Sector GMT RedBar Edition

with RedBar Atlanta

  • In partnership with RedBar Atlanta and the Atlanta Community Food Bank, we are proud to announce our collaborative Sector GMT RedBar Edition. Officially sanctioned by RedBar Group, the Sector GMT RedBar Edition features a unique red and black color combination. The caseback displays Atlanta's magnificent skyline.

    RedBar Atlanta was founded in 2014 by Faisal Nayani. RedBar Group, founded by Adam Craniotes and Kathleen McGivney, is an international collective of watch communities all around the world. RedBar Group's goals include fostering the growth of existing collector communities around the globe, helping fellow enthusiasts start new meetups in their local areas, and encouraging collectors to give back to the local communities where our gatherings take place.

    Atlanta Community Food Bank is a non-profit organization that specializes in collecting and distributing food to those in need in 29 counties across metro Atlanta and north Georgia. Through this partnership with RedBar Group, RedBar Atlanta members, and Atlanta Community Food Bank, we are proud to provide more than 35,000 meals to people in need.

  • The Sector GMT is the perfect travel partner, armed with a fourth hand to track two time zones in an intuitive manner. With a fast-set jumping-GMT hand, the Sector GMT is able to quickly move through time zones.

    Originally, "GMT" stood for Greenwich Mean Time, as British Naval fleets coordinated their on-board chronometers with Greenwich, London. Over time, the term has evolved to become any watch that has a fourth GMT hand that tracks a 24 hour time-scale.

    This special Sector GMT RedBar edition is a limited-edition release, co-designed with RedBar's Atlanta chapter. Limited to only 50 pieces worldwide, the Sector GMT RedBar edition features a stunning black dial with the perfect shade of red highlights, as well as the Atlanta skyline engraved into the caseback. Each watch is individually numbered out of 50.

SectorMatick

  • The Sector Pilot Matick Edition, also known as the "SectorMatick", is Nodus’ second collaborative project with TEAM MATICK, a small group of watch enthusiasts based out of Malaysia since 2015.

  • The SectorMatick features a classic two-toned silver sector dial, a first for Nodus’ Sector lineup. With a brushed silver outer ring and grained silver inner, the dial reflects and reacts to the lighting around it, taking on shades and hues from the environment. Vibrant sky-blue accents were also added to the hidden Nodus logo at 12 o’clock, hour markers, day wheel and seconds hand. This adds a little “pop” of life to the dial, bringing to mind the clear blue skies that all pilots (or travelers) dream of. And as with the previous collaboration with the AvaMatick, a small and discreet MATICK can also be found just below the Nodus branding.

    Included with every SectorMatick is a special note from TEAM MATICK and unique stickers.

    The SectorMatick is limited to 69 pieces worldwide.
