Saw Tony's post regarding the impending release of this retro styled diver from Peter Helson and was intrigued. A few days later it's on my wrist and at first blush I am most impressed.

I've got no good light and rain here so I'm just going to be brief and let this one sink in for a day or two and give some additional thoughts. This is my first Helson and thus far I am well satisfied.

Looks great on the wrist, congrats!

Interesting to see you got no. 87, given when you ordered.  I wonder if that reflects how many have already sold or if your number is just the random result of the mailroom employee that ships them out.

I didn't hook on that one yet...But I must say that the orange tone of the dial has a vintage look fitting to the whole watch: Nice detail!
Enjoy that new one!

This is a looker, Mark,and the most striking feature of the Tortuga is that very attractive case. Looking forward to a bezel change and more thoughts from you on this striking diver. Enjoy it in good health for a long time. Thumbsup3.gif

Congrats on this great looking new piece from Helson, Mark!

The orange dial is my favorite looking combo in the Tortuga lineup.thumbsup.gif...and I'm loving the dimensions and vintage design of these.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one as you have a chance to get to know the Tortuga a little better.

Enjoy!
