About this watch

The warm champagne dial has applied baton markers with a distinctive arrowhead marker at 12 and a date window at 3 o'clock, and is signed "Helios 25 Jewels, Waterproof, Shockprotected". The dial shows an even vintage patina.

It is housed in a polished stainless steel cushion case of approx. 37mm with a screw-down back. Inside is a 25-jewel Swiss automatic movement with date, signed "25 Jewels Swiss Made" on the rotor and shown in the photos. It is fitted to a black leather strap.

Brand heritage

Helios takes its name from the Greek god of the Sun, who drove his golden chariot across the sky each day. The name appeared on Swiss-made watches for decades, and this piece comes from the 1970s, the last golden era of Swiss mechanical watchmaking before the quartz revolution, when chunky cushion cases and warm dials defined the look of the decade.
