Horological Meandering

My Purchase for May 2010

 

This is the Halios BlueRing, the 2nd offering from a company hailing from Vancouver, Canada.

It's a straightforward diver and comes in three dial colours, blue, black and silver. I picked the blue one.

I'm lucky to be in business with 2 other guys who are interested in watches (one of them more than the other) so we were able to purchase all three variants, just to see how all three would look.

The 44mm cases can either be in brushed or beadblasted finish. We all opted for the beadblasted version since the bezel would be beadblasted for both finishes. The lugs are contoured so it sits really well on the wrist.

The black dialed version is powered by a Seiko 6R15 movement whilst the silver and blue dialed ones are fitted with the ETA 2824 movement.

It has sapphire crystal which is domed and applied with AR on the inside.

It comes shipped in a Pelican 1120 case with an extra isofrane rubber strap and a warranty card.

I am pretty pleased with this watch.

The bracelet sort of reminds me of the tracks found on tanks















I like the blue colour















Lots of people prefer the date ring on the Seiko movement over the ETA one
