Introducing the Helson Shark Diver
Presenting the new dive watch company Helson Watches and their first model, the Shark Diver. Powered by the trusty Miyota 8215 (as seen in the Halios Holotype and others), it’s very attractive new entry.
Specifications:
Water resistant to a over-engineered 2,000m (6,600ft or so). You’ll not survive nearly long as your watch. (By the way, we like “over-engineered.”)
Unidirectional bezel.
Luminova lume on hands, indices, and bezel.
316L stainless steel case.
Unusually magnetism-resistant at 70,000 A/m.
Very cool looking mesh bracelet.
Available in six color combinations: PVD, blue, and brown. (The yellow-on-black is particularly striking, in our humble opinion.)
Thick 4mm sapphire crystal, with inner antireflective coating.
List price is $499 — a very good deal — and is due to ship November 10th, 2009. We’ve contacted Helson and are hoping to get one for review.
One more picture after the break to whet your interest!
YES Watches Discounted For Watch Report Readers 
If you’re a regular reader, you know that we’re big fans of YES watches. We reviewed both the Zulu and the Tati, and love them both. I also happen to know the founder and CEO of YES watches, Bjorn Kartomten, personally, and I know how passionate he is about his watches, and about customer service. In fact, I’ve heard several stories of people having their emails to YES Watches answered personally by Bjorn.
We seldom do promotions on Watch Report, but when Bjorn asked me the other day if I’d be interested in offering a discount on YES watches to our readers, I decided it was a good deal for everyone. From now through December 21, 2009, Watch Report readers can save between $100 and $300 on all YES watches purchased through this link. This discount covers the Zulu, World Watch, Tati, Luna, Inca, and the Kundalini.
Even if you’re not in the market for a new watch, you might want to check out their lineup or our reviews just to see what YES watches are all about. They are some of the most unique and innovative timepieces out there.
