Because of the crown’s position, size and sharp edges, I found it to be extremely uncomfortable. However, I cannot say the same about it while it is on the wrist.
When it comes to grip and using the crown, it is perfect. Nodus has included a large, tapered crown on the Sector Pilot. I don’t wear a lot of pilot watches, but I do know that one of their calling cards is a large crown, allowing the wearer to use the crown while wearing gloves. When it comes to Seiko NH movements, anything under 13mm isn’t all that thick so Nodus has done a great job thinning out the case. However, because the lugs feature a steep curve, the Sector Pilot hugs the wrist and remains comfortable. I found the wrist to crystal measurement to be 12mm, so the watch doesn’t sink into the wrist all that much. The Sector Pilot wears true to its case height of 12.75mm. If the case were flat, the relatively long lug-to-lug might look awkward but the lugs angle down as soon as they leave the case, making the lug-to-lug look and feel shorter than it is. The Sector case has long, faceted lugs that give the 38mm-wide case a 47mm lug-to-lug. It is hard to say, but the best part is that even though it feels different, it still carries the comfort the Sector case offers. Perhaps the modern pilot watch dial layout is what makes the watch feel different. However, because of the stainless steel bezel and dial layout, the Pilot feels like an entirely different watch. I reviewed the Sector Dive last year ( review here) and as I mentioned above, the Pilot shares the same case as the Dive. While the Nodus Sector Pilot follows the Dive and Field by sharing the same case, the Pilot’s dial is the most different of the group. Today we will be looking at the Sector Pilot.
#Nodus sector sport series#
Nodus is expanding on the Sector series with new versions of the Dive and Field but is going a step further and introducing 2 new variants – Pilot and Sport. As their names suggest, they each had a different look and purpose but shared the same case. Nodus launched the Sector series originally with the Dive and Field. The Sector series aims to be an affordable alternative to their catalogue of purpose-built dive and tool watches. The Nodus Sector has become a fan favorite in the veteran microbrand’s lineup.
