Having released the Series 1 which was sold out in no time, ZLTD Watches started out to develop Series 2. Series 2 will be more technical in nature so in the meantime, they decided to release the Series 1.5, a slightly different take on the popular Series 1.
What are the differences between Series 1 and Series 1.5? Well, below is the Series 1 and just focusing on the dial, the difference is stark.
Series 1.5 comes with an anodized titanium dial in two colours - Aubergine and Bronze. The dial comes with brushed finishing and that gives the dial a different hue under different lighting conditions.
What is not apparent on photo is the new feature of an hour hand adjustment found on the Series 1.5. If one pulls out the crown to the first position, the owner can change the hour hand (just like a GMT) without having to reset the minutes and seconds hand.
Another difference between these two Series is the movement...
One Point Five comes with an automatic movement... I wish they had kept it as a manual winding.
As with the Series 1, the finishing on the indices are very good. (The photos are those of the prototype and not the finished product... there are some smudges on the ring which I am sure will not be there for production pieces).
The launch of Series 1.5 is slated for Saturday, 12th July 2025 with 2 slots - 1000hrs (Singapore Time) and 2200hrs (Singapore time).
The 38.5mm case is perfect for my small wrist.
If you had missed out on Series 1, do take note of the launch of the 1.5. I think there are some upgrades in 1.5 worth considering over the Series 1. Between Aubergine and Bronze, what's your choice? Drop a comment below.
