To see what makes the Avalon so impressive, you only need to look at the specs and, for that matter, its price. With each new release continuing the same dive/tool watch trend that kickstarted the brand into existence, before culminating in what is their most impressive offering yet, the Nodus Avalon. Since then, the young up-and-coming microbrand has gone from strength to strength, building itself an enthusiastic cult following on the forums, and Instagram and the like, as well as releasing brand new models quicker than an elephant running downhill. The pair may be relative new recruits to the micro-watchmaking game, but Cullen Chen and Wesley Kwok have turned their passion for watches into their dream business, releasing their debut model, the Nodus Trieste, in 2017, taking its inspiration from ’60s dive watches. “Living the dream” is how I’d best describe the two co-founders of microbrand watch company Nodus.

The build quality too is right up there with the best I’ve seen, the overall fit & finish is fantastic, with outstanding attention to detail throughout. The Duality is also very comfortable, hugging the contour of your wrist perfectly. The proportions of the watch, in my opinion are absolutely spot on and I find the Duality wears brilliantly on my 6¾″ wrist, which is all thanks to the sensible and relatively compact lug to lug distance of around 47mm. The Nodus Duality has a water resistance rating of 300m, thanks to the screw down caseback & dual screw down crowns. The finish of the case itself is mostly brushed, but with the addition of rather sexy chamfered polished accents that run along the side of the case ( top & bottom) and down over the edge of the drilled lugs. The entire case, caseback, bezel, crowns and bracelet are all 316L stainless steel. The lug to lug is 47.4mm and the overall thickness, including the double domed box sapphire crystal, I measured in at a very nice 12.8mm. The case of the Nodus Duality has a diameter of 39.7mm.
