DUALITY II
The Duality II infuses a modern edge into a vintage-inspired design.
Modern edge.
The Duality II infuses a modern edge into a vintage-inspired design. Traditionally, dual-crown divers were synonymous with compressor cases – a unique construction that enabled watches of yesteryears to achieve greater depths of around 200 meters. Leveraging modern manufacturing techniques and Efficient Design principles, the Duality II refines and builds upon this traditional design, resulting in a slim profile with an impressive 300 meters of water resistance.
Function and aesthetic.
A dramatic sapphire crystal, reminiscent of a vintage bubble dome, allows for an efficient use of internal space, giving the Duality II a sleek profile and offering superior scratch resistance. Indices with high-polished facets give a dynamic and elegant aesthetic. A fully-decoupling screw-down crown at two o’clock operates an internal rotating bezel, adding functionality without compromising durability.
Applied faceted indices.
The first Duality had a "hybrid" dial construction, consisting of a two-layer sandwich dial with shiny applied outlines on top. The idea, which worked well, was to create a hyper-dynamic look. The sandwich dial allowed for a “sunken” look which added depth, while the shiny applied outlines allowed for light to reflect in exciting ways.
For the Duality II, we decided to move to higher-grade applied indices and gave the indices large and dramatic facets. The exaggerated facets reflect light beautifully and achieve a level of dynamism far greater than the previous Duality.
Slimmed down in the right places.
The Duality II measures in 1.60mm thinner than its predecessor (11.50mm vs 13.10mm). Our ethos of "Efficient Design" allows us to create much thinner watches while preserving water resistance, and will be a hallmark of all of our watches moving forward. Along with the Sector II, the Duality II marks a new era for Nodus.
3D chamfered hands.
The Duality II is adorned with a set of beautifully chamfered and highly-dimensional hands. Filled with bright-glowing Swiss SuperLuminova, the Duality II will never fail to elegantly tell the time.
Three-Link Bracelet with NodeX™.
To complete the package, the Duality II gets an updated three-link bracelet with soft chamfered edges, half-links for precise sizing, and our proprietary NodeX™ adjustable clasp for on-the-fly adjustments.
