By FAR my favorite watch of last year, the Helm Vanuatu Titanium is just a stellar example of a bang for the buck tool diver. Big and chunky, it wears light because of the titanium but is not light or "rattl'y" at all. The bracelet...oh my, the bracelet. Milled clasp (not stamped), beautifully machined links, silky on the wrist. Some big name Swiss manufacturers could learn a thing or two from Helm. This is an American brand, with production in Taiwan, and they take quality very seriously. Additionally, my watch has consistently been keeping time at about +10 seconds EVERY TWO WEEEKS. Astounding accuracy that speaks directly to what a quality job Helm is doing assembling/regulating their timepieces. YMMV of course, but this has been a crackerjack timekeeper for me. Condition is excellent. No dings or dents, surface marks only that a cape cod cloth could erase in a couple of minutes. Comes with everything pictured and as would come if new. Lume is very good too. Can't say enough about how much I have been impressed by this watch, and I will probably get back on the incredibly long waiting list for another one as soon as this one's gone

VANUATU TITANIUM

Named for the South Pacific island nation famous for its coral reefs and a WWII shipwreck, the HELM Vanuatu epitomizes rugged functionality. Featuring a G2 titanium case and chunky titanium bracelet, automatic movement, screw-down caseback and crown, sapphire crystal, unidirectional bezel, highly legible dial with bright luminous output and a 300 meter depth rating, the ISO 6425 compliant Vanuatu will go as long and as far as you do―above or below the waves. A tool watch through and through, the Vanuatu is the perfect beater watch for your everyday (or far away) adventures.

Equipped with the TS1 titanium bracelet, the Vanuatu Ti also includes the versatile, lightweight and quick drying NS1 Nylon Strap, which is an excellent option in the water. With a standard 22mm lug width, the Vanuatu Ti can also be dressed up or down with limitless aftermarket straps, including our own NS2 and NS3 nylon straps, LS1 and LS2 leather straps, CS1 canvas strap, and RS1 and RS2 rubber straps.
