PostSubject: Helix Okto Chrono - Great Watch at a Great Price!   Helix Okto Chrono - Great Watch at a Great Price! Icon_minitimeWed Jan 06, 2010 11:00 am

Received my Helix Okto Chrono yesterday and I am very happy. This is a heavy all metal watch with a lot of character. I was surprised with it's weight. This is not a beater. It is a watch with some great use of
color and excellent LUM. I compare the LUM to be on par with my Zodiac watches. What this watch has that most don't is A TON of unique styling features, from the case, to the pushers to the divers clasp, just all very very well done. Great solid bracelet also.

All pushers and crown ARE screw downs. Very nice.
The clasp is a divers clasp with the automatic micro adjustments. Just
slide it out or in. I love this and wish more watches would use this
clasp.

Comes packaged in a cool rubber like cylinder thing with a mini CD with all instructions and info. My only complaint might be that the watch, while packed well, still could move around in the container which could
potentially lead to damage. I wish all companies packed the watches tighter in the "boxes", especially when shipping via mail service.

A GREAT steal for the $60 I won it for in the online auction. For $60 I am VERY happy with this one (they say the retail is over $400 but we all know that is never happening)

Great review and watch TV!

For the money the watches are hard to beat!

I have this 3-hand version...

The Brand is owned by TIMEX, some of the TX's are using the same case...

Thanks guys - if you don't already know about Property Room you need to - check out http://www.propertyroom.com/Catalog.aspx?Category=Sport&CategoryId=440

They have tons of Helix watches for auction at low low prices.
I actually have another on the way this week also (will post pics when it arrives)

On the 3 hand one I like that one also.

I will say this to those who have never bought one of these - these are
built better then the Pythons or Ocean Ghosts and have a way better
bracelet then most of the mid range Invictas I have ever purchased. I only
use those as a comparison since so many people have owned Invicta
watches at one time. The weight on these is very nice and well balanced and the
styling is almost unmatched to any other watch I have recently
purchased in this price range. Real nice and I recommend everyone look
into this brand. A lot of original variety and styles. Similar to Zodiac in my opinion.

Cool brand.

Very nice. Good for you.

My Sector 600 has that same type clasp, and they are a superb upgrade to a standard clasp.

Nice one - I'm starting to dig the Helix
Didn't know about the Timex connection - Thanks.
Recently snagged a TX myself - very pleased.
Also made a note of the case design at the time.
