Helberg CH8
Posted: 17 Aug 2015 17:53
This is my second purchase from this German company, H20 Watch.
The owner Clemens has developed a reputation of providing top quality product which of very good value for the money you paid.
I first know about H20 when i come across the pre-order thread in WUS two years ago for CH6. Was then craving for a bronze diver and the price/spec offered I felt was really value for money.
Before you know it, Clemens comes out with CH8 that is even more exiting.
Is a rendition of his favorite divers from the 70s, Breil Manta 100 and comes with both bronze and SS version.
Since I already got a bronze CH6, I have decided to take the SS version with the black/orange colored sapphire bezel.
Using the now popular Miyota 9015, CH8 also comes with water resistance to 1000m (grossly overkill for this desk diver) and not one but two HEV (cannot have enough of good thing).
As per his previous offering, there is also the option to choose between configuration to suit anyone preference:
Case: Bronze / SS
Bezel: Solid SS / Bronze SS (only for Bronze case) / orange black sapphire inlay / black sapphire inlay
Dial: Black (with or without date) / Blue / Olive
Handset: chrome or orange + chrome
Crystal: flat or dome
For me as a return customer, I am also rewarded with a free Horween leather strap as a bonus.
I was also able to add on a Isofrane strap at a special price. I have gone for the safe color black but is regretting not getting the orange option which I think will match very well with my black/orange bezel.
The newly design Helberg CNC buckle that comes with the stock strap is really nice and can be use on the Isofrane as well.
I probably missed out some other nice features but you can get more information from their website http://www.h2o-watch.com
Sorry I am still so excited receiving this morning! On with some quick and dirty pic I have taken using my handphone
Hope you enjoy my little mini review.
