KEY FEATURES: 

High-Arched Sapphire Crystal (with anti-reflective coating): working in tandem with our sunburst dials, the show-stopping high-arched sapphire refracts light beautifully. The crystal, at its apex, stands 2.80mm above the case, curving smoothly across its surface. 

Dials: deep and subtle, yet striking, our sunburst dials come in Deep Blue, Ice Silver, Space Black and Slate Grey. In sympathy with the domed crystal, the dial itself is also slightly convex. Gently curved hands maintain a parallel with the convex dial, which looks particularly elegant with the extra-long, smooth-sweeping, seconds hand. 

Movement: in-keeping with the gently modernised 1950s aesthetic, a hand-wound Sellita SW215-1 Elaboré movement, with a bespoke colour-matched date wheel, sits at the heart of the Veli. A fine Swiss movement, the SW215-1 is close to the ETA 2804-2 in design, save that the Sellita movement has two extra jewels. 

Hands: the VAPAUS Veli watch is offered with a choice of either classic alpha hands (Veli 1950), or the more unusual paddle hands (Veli 2050). The divisive Veli 2050 hands have created a loyal following among watch aficionados who enjoy the juxtaposition between a classic and modern aesthetic; while the Veli 1950 hands resonate clearly with the legacy of the timepiece.
