This one is supposedly a rare version 1 of 8 produced, but I think there were like 4 other versions; C3, blue lume, BGW9 and orange lume versions all sold out from what I can find. This one is the C3 lume. The dial has an inner AR coating, though I think it could use a couple of more layers. It came with a nice kit that included an unused bracelet and a rubber strap that resembles a Hirsch extreme though it's branded with Helson on it. Not sure if it is a Hirsch. I'm not in a hurry to try either out as I'm really liking it on the strap. The strap is comfortable, thick, and the keeper is branded with the Helson logo. I do wish the strap was a little longer. I'm wearing it on the last hole, and while it is comfortable, the strap slips out of the keeper often.
I really dig the dial and hands. It's a big watch, 45mm wide, 18mm tall, 24mm lug width. 2000M water resistant with an automatic HEV. Not sure how to describe the case, maybe square and angular. I like it though. The buckle is hefty and fits the watch well, I don't even mind the shark on it too much.
Of course, the lume is pretty cool. Lumed bezel and dial.
Bottom line, I like it and will keep it around for a bit. Helson did good with this one. Watch is keeping decent time, on the edge of what I'd like +10s/day. It's very comfy on the strap. It's different from most everything else I own, in a good way. Best part, even the wife likes it. Second best part, I don't think I'll take a big hit on it if I sell it. Thanks for looking.
