I bought this after reading a few positive reviews on WUS. One in particular was a by a gent who goes by Boatswain. I believe he also lives on Vancouver Island. I have wanted to add a green dial watch to replace my Alpinist and also wanted a GMT movement. 2 birds, 1 stone. It came in a nice wooden box with the engraved logo. The box has magnets in the lid and body to hold it closed. Also included is this nice blue leather watch roll. The watch is supplied on a nice supple tropical style strap. They also include a brown Horween leather strap with quick release. The buckle on the tropical strap is brushed and has the Z logo imprinted. The dial is nice shade of green with a sunray finish. Note the inset indices and colour matched date wheel. It is, as others have noticed, a chunky watch. It’s listed 40mm wide and 12mm tall. Here it is next to my Pelagos LHD for comparison. The back is a display style. It has the watch information around the perimeter. I was pleasantly surprised to receive 1 of 70. Judging by other posts I wasn’t the first to receive a green one. Luck of the draw I guess. Note the world map on the custom rotor. A few wrist shots to close out this brief review. Thanks for reading..

Nice! Love that you got 1 of 70 - so cool. The dial is gorgeous and the world map on the rotor is a nice touch. Congrats.

Thanks for the write-up, Mark. Boatswain is a great guy, and we have exchanged posts on WUS many times. He is a huge Zelos fan as you know. I have often looked at and admired them. I really have a liking for them even though I don't own one, and they have a solid reputation. The green dial is gorgeous. That is great to have 1/70. The map is a nice touch on the rotor as well. I like the yellow arrowhead on the GMT hand.
That will look great on the leather strap. And that rubber one looks very comfortable. Thanks for including the box and other details as well.
Lots to like about that watch. Congratulations!
Cheers, Carl
