One difference would be the card that is also included which shows that the watch was timed and regulated and its accuracy in those positions. The Nodus Trieste arrives in pretty standard fashion, a wood box that holds the watch and warranty card. Price: $500 as shown, $350 with Seiko movement Steel bracelet with screw-in links and flip-lock clasp.Sapphire bezel insert | 120-click uni-directional bezel.Sapphire crystal | Double-domed with blue AR on underside.Swiss STP1-11 (as reveiwed) or Seiko NH35 (regulated in four positions).41mm width | 13mm thickness | 50mm lug-to-lug | 20mm lug width.As I stated, there is no shortage of microbrands these days, and that means a lot of competition, so lets see how the Nodus Trieste stacks up. The Nodus Trieste is in the affordable range, $500 for the Swiss STP 1-11 version being reviewed today and an even more affordable model that houses a Seiko NH35 movement. I am not going to compare this watch in terms of quality to the BP of course, but I will state that the noticeable differences in terms of design is the bezel, especially the lume pip, crown size, second hand, and modified hour and minute hand. The Bathyscaphe is one that I have not seen done before, or at least none that are on my radar. Now, nothing wrong with that at all, though everyone has their opinions on that subject, and many companies have done homages of Blancpain, including Seiko. The Nodus Trieste has opted for the former, and have done an homage of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. Some look to recreate a classic or homage a specific piece from a big brand, others set out to bring a new design to the market. Microbrands share a lot in common for the most part, but one thing that differentiates some from the others is what type of watch they bring to the market. Today, we look at a new one, the Nodus Trieste. The microbrand watch segment continues to grow, and if you are a follower of us here at Watchreport, you know we review many different microbrands, from the new to the established.
