Helberg watches

From their website, to all of you who can't get enough of micro brand/divers.

We are proud to introduce our new HELBERG brand to you. HELBERG is the second brand of the H2O watch GmbH together with the well known H2O brand.


All HELBERG watches are 100% engineered in Germany and SWISS MADE.
We have our own design team and all constructions for the cases, dials, handset and sapphire glasses are made completely inhouse. We are manufacturing our watches in Switzerland and in result our HELBERG watches are complying with the SWISS law to carry the SWISS MADE sign on the dial.

Our aim is to provide the highest quality for our watches and consequently we will offer only SWISS MADE movements from ETA or SOPROD.

We will never compromize quality or reliability! Promised!

Nice components and construction, alas the design does zero for me imo. And holy smokes 19% VAT? Poor bastards in the EU!

I like the bronze version without the space helmut looking crystal but I think it would look nicer on a dive strap than it does on SS- or, a bronze bracelet maybe- or bronze center links even; gotta do something to tie the bracelet to the case. Nice watch for under a grand.

The 3000meters (regular domed glass) is both nice and priced well, Viton gaskets mean no useless HRV, nice!...
I can't see the use for that outrageously desproporcional dome, for daily wear...good for a dedicated pro-diver, I guess.
