Nodus Sector II Sport Men Wear Pink: 100 Watches at $600
Nodus has opened orders for the $600 Sector II Sport Men Wear Pink, a 100-piece collaboration with StrapHabit that directs a portion of proceeds to the American Cancer Society. The defining feature is a natural rhodochrosite dial, supplied in light-pink and dark-pink variations.
The stone determines the pattern
Rhodochrosite produces conspicuous bands rather than a uniform color. Across the edition, pale pink, deeper red and cream-colored lines create visibly different dials. Gold-tone hands and applied markers sit above the stone, while a matching chapter ring frames its edge.
The collaboration began with StrapHabit founder Nick Lehner and Nodus. Lehner says the material proved difficult to cut: its natural cleavage makes thin slices prone to splitting, and more than half of the slices failed during production. The surviving dials therefore account for part of the unusually small run.
The charitable connection stays off the front of the watch. Collaboration markings and the individual edition number are placed on the steel back, allowing the stone and the Sector II Sport’s familiar 3, 6 and 9 numerals to define the dial.
Two attachments and a regulated automatic
Each watch comes with a steel bracelet and a pink StrapHabit sailcloth strap made for the project. The bracelet uses Nodus’s NEM adjustable clasp, and quick-release spring bars make the change to the brighter strap straightforward.
- 316L steel case: 38 mm wide, 11.7 mm thick and 47 mm lug to lug.
- Flat-top sapphire crystal with a domed underside and internal antireflective coating.
- TMI NH38 no-date automatic; 41-hour reserve, regulated by Nodus to ±10 seconds per day.
- Screw-down crown; water resistance: 100 m.
Ordering opened on November 6. Nodus’s current schedule puts shipping in mid-December, with assembly and inspection at its Los Angeles workshop. The company says a portion of sales will support the Men Wear Pink campaign.
