The Sō Labs Layer 2 adds a healthy dash of funky color to the dial

The Sō Labs Layer 2 takes the fundamentals of the Layer 1 and expands on them in significant ways. The movement is now a sturdy Sellita, and the case execution is well done, with short, Deco-inspired lugs and a 40mm diameter. Really though, it’s the five distinctive colors that seal the deal here. Obsidian Frost is the most vibrant, with a black DLC case and a pink and blue palette. Iron Flamingo pairs shades of grey with orangey pinks. Plum Punch sees deep purples blend with peach-like tones; Charcoal Fog is mostly monotone, except for green and pink tones in some of the shades. Finally, Iced Oatmeal offers a more muted take on color, with grey, green and pink shades at play.
