Since its inception, the Contrail has epitomized the fusion of functionality and style, envisioned as the ultimate travel companion for modern adventurers. Rooted in the collective experiences of a team traversing the globe in pursuit of NodeX licensing agreements, the Contrail GMT embodies the evolution of travel needs in sync with its global customer base and international partnerships.
A Legacy of Travel: The Contrail's Origins
Born from the desire to create a timepiece that transcends boundaries, the Contrail GMT is the culmination of years of exploration and innovation. As Nodus embarks on its seventh year of operation, the Contrail GMT stands as a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence in design and functionality.
Sleek Design, Enhanced Functionality
The new Contrail GMT elevates the essence of its predecessors with a sleek and versatile design. Inspired by the team's dedication to efficient design, the redesigned case offers one of the thinnest profiles for a watch housing the Miyota 9075 movement. Designed for a comfortable fit on the wrist, the Contrail GMT ensures that style doesn't compromise functionality. With hallmark features intact, including ease of use and clear legibility at a glance, the Contrail GMT is poised to become the ultimate travel companion for adventurers worldwide.
Dial Finishes: A Tribute to Exploration
Three distinct dial finishes have been utilized for the Contrail GMT, each inspired by the wonders of the world. From the earthy textures of the Laguna and Terra dials to the azure hues of the Impulse dial, every detail symbolizes the journeys connecting individuals worldwide. The clean white dial with contrasting finishes adds a touch of simplicity and elegance to the ensemble, ensuring that the Contrail GMT is as visually striking as it is functional.
Precision Engineering, Durability, and Comfort
At the heart of the Contrail GMT lies a 316L surgical-grade stainless steel case, ensuring corrosion resistance and durability. With dimensions meticulously crafted for comfort and visual impact, it is well-proportioned for wrists of all sizes. The bidirectional bezel, equipped with a ball bearing system, offers functional performance and ease of operation, while the luminous sapphire insert facilitates tracking of three time zones simultaneously.
Enhanced Legibility and Functionality
Legibility is paramount in any timepiece, and the Contrail GMT excels in this aspect. Segmentation of dial information ensures clarity at a glance, while the BGW9 Super LumiNova® fills on indices and hands enhance visibility in low-light conditions. The capped seconds hand adds a refined aesthetic touch, eliminating distractions and focusing on precise timekeeping.

Innovative Features: A Testament to Travel
