Overview
The Helson Squadron is a rare, discontinued, pilot-style watch from the microbrand Helson. While Helson is primarily known for making chunky, robust dive watches, the Squadron stands out as a vintage-inspired military pilot watch that is highly sought after by collectors.
Key Specifications & Design
- Movement: Powered by a reliable Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement.
- Case Dimensions: It features a 42mm case diameter with a 22mm lug width. It wears significantly thinner and more comfortably on the wrist than Helson's typical dive models.
- Dial Design: Features a very wide, minimalist dial with minimal text displaying only "squadron automatic". It comes in several sunburst colorways, including black, gray, dark blue, and brown.
- Hands & Numerals: It utilizes distinctive cathedral-style hour and minute hands. The Arabic numerals are printed with a heavy, thick application of SuperLuminova, giving them a unique, "poofy" raised look and incredible low-light visibility.
Comes with original box, warranty card, and strap tool. Excellent condition.
