Helson Turtle

[Groundhog66]

I really liked this one ever since Russ Murray posted it, anyone know anything about them?

Bizarre mate, saw one today and thought the same thing, pretty groovy looking piece, very smooth indeed.

Like it a lot, similar to a Squale which I think us great.

It's a beaut..had my eye on it for about a year now, there have been some water resistance issues, discussed on other forums, but ,unlike the Smiths Everest crystal ,have been handled fairly well.

Actually gents, there is another Helson I find stunning and I suspect it's not the Turtle . . . I shall research the matter further and have my people get back to your people and we can do lunch . . . Chris, you can wear your equine head and bring that charming young filly along too.

Victory . . . it's one of these, called the 'Tortuga', which I believe is Pacific Islander term for 'drowning', but nonetheless, I dig it, especially at sub 700 clams. yes1.gif

Not sure about Pacific Islander, but it definitely means "tortoise" in Spanish.

I know that but it just doesn't elevate the 'story' in quite the same way . . .  laugh1.gif

I personally like it cause of the "seiko-ish" styling...

The Orange Dial Version looks exceptional. One of my grails.

That's an amazing watch.  I'd buy one like yesterday if it were possible.  What a watch.

Is Helson one of those put your name on the dial brands like all of the "500M" Seiko quartz movement Tuna knock off brands that were floating around a few years ago?

[serdal22]

I love those divers a lot! Case, bezel, and dials and hands combinations are irresistible!

Thank you for sharing.

I'm still lusting after one of these.....

I recently picked up a Helson Turtle in terrific condition.  I was a little afraid of the specs, being too large, but I was pleasantly surprised that it wears a LOT smaller than it appears on paper.  It could actually be a mm or two larger on lug-to-lug and width.  After a week on the wrist, with the Helson mesh, I'm very pleased.  This one has the Miyota 9015, which I prefer.
