Hammerhead

The Hammerhead is a solid mid-tier diver that punches above its weight for the price, but let's be real-Zelos still doesn't have an in-house movement, and that's a hard pill to swallow when you're dropping this kind of cash. Build quality and finishing are genuinely impressive, and it wears like a proper tool watch, but I can't help comparing it to brands actually investing in their own calibers. If you're cool with a decorated Miyota or Sellita, it's a decent pickup; if you're like me and need that vertical integration, keep looking.
