The Story of Zelos

Zelos was founded in 2014 by Elshan Tang in Singapore.

  • At 15, Elshan started collecting watches.

  • By the early 2010s, he was trading luxury watches while completing a mechanical engineering degree at the National University of Singapore.

  • Trading the same brands felt repetitive. He wanted something unique.

  • Instead of waiting, he created it himself.

That was the start of Zelos Watches.

The name comes from Zelos, the Greek deity of zeal and passion.
It reflects the brand’s purpose – to create timepieces with distinct designs, special materials, and lasting value.

Today, Zelos is known worldwide among collectors for:

  • Unique dial textures and colors

  • Use of advanced materials like bronze, meteorite, and ceramic

  • Competitive pricing without compromising on quality

Each model is designed in Singapore and shipped globally.

Why the Thresher Ember Stands Out

  • A bold 44mm case with real dive credentials at 500m water resistance

  • Striking orange lume that glows in the dark

  • A trusted Miyota 9015 automatic movement

  • Value that challenges much higher-priced dive watches

If you want a tool watch that feels special on your wrist, the Thresher 44mm Ember delivers.

Practical Benefits for You
