That is a great watch: monocoque case, sapphire bezel, great lume, 1000m WR and a mesh bracelet...

What more can you ask?! I forgot all about the ultimate ploprof, I will order a Helson the second they start selling them.

Cheers,

Is there an estimate for this diverN

Now that is really nice. I have just bought a genuine Omega Flightmaster (910) which uses the same style (Pilot Line) case and it is my current 'favourite watch'. Very comfortable for such a large piece. I can see me getting one of these.

Oh wow, very nice find!! Helson is bringin out some great looking watches. I guess if you like the vintage Omega design without the pricetag then these tick all the right boxes......

Sorry for bringing up this old thread:

Does one of you know why the Helson does not take an Omega dial? Only dial feet issue because of the different movements or something different?

Thansk!
