Attack of the Clones...

Based in Thailand, and produced in Hong Kong, this brand pays hommage to the 1970’s dive watches. The case, in stainless steel and available in bead blasted, brushed or black PVD, measures 45mm x 15.5mm with 24mm lugs. The crystal is an AR-coated sapphire and it is water resistant to 300 meters. Movement is the Japanese automatic Miyota caliber 8215 with 21 jewels, 21,600 vph and a power reserve of 40 hours.

HERE IS THE DIFFRENTIATOR: MSRP starts at $350

Now THAT is where a watch like this SHOULD be priced!

Hell yes. And if it breaks, it's virtually disposable.

Nice find A-man.

I emailed them and asked them to join our site...

...I am HEAVILY considering the blue dial!

very cool, you can sure see they like the Holotype!!

I just like that they are NOT trying to be a $750 watch like all the other MICROS...

...AGAIN, IMO, have a quality watch at the right price point (not trying to be something you aren't) and you will sell MORE watches!

its a copy of the holotype. other than a few asetics,its the same.the halios sold for 299.00 on preorder.
but like all chinese forum watches,the holotype had its problems like the 6 oclock lug holes were misdrilled.
you get what you pay for with these.Just don't expect a quality watch.Expect Invicta quality then you won't be dissapointed.

I think they just put a smaller bezel on the same case and bracelet! When Jason came out and said it was a one time production someone saw that there was still a market for the watch! With the smaller bezel it makes the case look a little bigger but it's the same stuff!

These REALLY DO look NICE ! ..The style AND the price are
very impressive. I like how the brushed, along with the bead blasted
finish are the same price also. That blue with bead blasted finish IS
especially good ! Although the orange is VERY nice also. It almost
looks like amber in some pictures ! They did a good job with these imo !
Thanks !

I've got a Holotype and this one looks different to me. I realize the case and bracelet are the same but the smaller bezel really makes the case shape much more of a feature on this watch.

The case and lug design is a little different from the halotype. The lugs are straight compared to down-going. I do like these!

Nice watches! I really like the blue dialed one too Alan.

The case on the Artego appears thinner and doesn't curve as much at the lugs so probably not the exact same case, but the bracelet appears to be the same. Really not a bad looking watch all in all.

Seems like alot of people are liking them ! The blue is evidently pretty popular
by the sound of things. By the way, there is someone over there called Z-Freak
who is about to possibly get one !
