Helson Watch

Hi

Does anyone out there in Watchcrunch land own a Helson Watch. I like the 38mm Titanium . It has a Miyota movement. I think they are made in China though? They look good

Unfortunately not my brother

I have had two, one of which I still own.

I wanted the yellow and black but they were sold out so I got the blue one, which I liked. I contacted them about the yellow and black to see when they might be back in stock. They checked for me and they had one they had kept back (in case of warranty requirements, I guess) which they sold me. So I sold the blue one and did okay on it.

The communication and service was excellent and I do love the watch.

They are hefty divers tool watches (titanium obviously might/should be lighter) but that’s what I wanted.

I have a titanium Fifty Fathoms homage with a Miyota movement. The build quality is good, better than most other micros. No points for originality but they do make watches that original brands no longer make. So there's that.

Also @SurferJohn has a few I think

I own these two and I love them. Quality is good and yes they are made in China or Hong Hong, whatever. It is a mystery who really owns the brand, I'd like to hear from someone who knows. Anyway, my experience with the brand has been good.

I'd go for 38mm, I have a Redunae, but it has a tiny crown which I don't like. But it hacks. And movement is great. Seiko Movement. Lume is fantastic also

I have the 38mm titanium shark diver. One of my most worn watches. The rotor is on the noisy side, but it doesn't bother me. The titanium doesn't feel ultra light, so I don’t tend to "forget" it's on wrist. Definitely has my vote.
