A field watch that weighs 45 grams — titanium, Cerakoted the colour of dusk, at $600.
Verdict
| What it is | Nodus Sector II Field Titanium – Dusk — 38mm Grade 2 titanium field watch, matte blue Cerakote, TMI NH38 automatic, 100m |
| Price | $600 — Nodus's own store, checked Mon Nov 9, 2026 |
| Availability | In stock at check |
| The angle | A sector dial in a titanium case that weighs 45g at the head — and a movement regulated in Los Angeles to ±10 seconds a day |
| Verdict | The weight is the specification. Everything else — sector dial, box sapphire, 100m — is finished to match it. |
What it is
Nodus wraps its sector dial in a 38mm Grade 2 titanium case finished in a matte blue Cerakote called Dusk. Cream Arabic numerals sit over an inner 24-hour track; the lume is Super-LumiNova Old Radium Grade X1. The case measures 11.7mm thick and 47mm lug to lug, with a fixed bezel and a screw-down crown, per the maker.
Inside is TMI's NH38 automatic — 24 jewels, 41-hour reserve — regulated by Nodus in Los Angeles to ±10 seconds a day. The crystal is box sapphire with blue anti-reflective coating on the underside. It ships on a hybrid rubber strap with a colour-matched titanium buckle, and the watch head weighs 45g.
Why it matters
Field watches are bought to be worn all day and forgotten. Titanium at 45 grams is that brief taken literally, and the Cerakote does the other half of the job: a matte, muted blue that reads as kit, not jewellery. The sector dial is not decoration either — full numerals and a 24-hour track are a legibility system, designed for exactly the use the case is built for.

What to check before buying
- Cerakote is a coating. It wears hard, but a deep knock can show titanium beneath — the trade for the colour, as with any coated case.
- 45g is head-only. The strap adds weight back; the total is still light, but the headline figure is the case, crystal and movement.
- Old Radium lume is a colour, not radium. It is modern Super-LumiNova tinted cream — the vintage look without the vintage hazard.
- 38mm with a 47mm lug to lug. Check the lug-to-lug against your wrist; it carries longer than the diameter suggests.
