Obris Morgan Helmuth Review

Owned a Obris Morgan before so I know what to expect from this brand. It's more or less a mushroom brand but the features & designs are pretty interesting.



Just collected this Obris Morgan Helmuth in the afternoon. Came in a pelican box but of cos, the quality is not those top grade material as compared to my Irreantum but still, a nice way to sell as a package imo.





The package consists of 2 stock straps, 1 brown & 1 black, both 22mm. Warranty card, a '+' screwdriver for strap change & an extra screw pin lug.





The nice thing about the black strap is, OM has actually marked the size/length of the strap on the back. Not sure why the brown wasn't done this way.





signed buckle





Onto the watch.



Nice case design with nice bezel. Uni directional. Case is s/s but made to look like titanium finish. Black dial with orange markers but non-lumed. Only the hands are lumed. If the markers & skull logo are lumed, I think that will be damn cool.



Case: 44mm w/o crown, 49mm inclu of crown

Thickness: 16mm

Lug to Lug: 54mm

Lug width: 22mm

I like the smooth semi round bezel deign with the protruding 'cyindrical studs'. One interesting design is, instead of having 0,10,15 on the countdown bezel, it's using 3 lume dots instead. This is not a diver watch I guess.









I'm quite attracted to those 'cylindrical studs',lol. I took many pics of these :lol: Somehow, it made the bezel looked 3 dimensional.





















ok, last pic, I guessed you guys must be bored liao,lol





Ok, this watch might not be suitable for those who are anal about alignment of lume pip to 12:00 marker,lol





Cool skull logo but I'm not sure wats the concept of it though.





nice huge screwdown crown





with gearlike edges for easy grip





another view showing the crown, the bezel rotates with smooth clicks & easy probably due to the small 'teeth' on the edge of the bezel





side profile of case





screw pin lug





movement wise, I'm not sure. Maybe a Seagull? Non-decorated movt.





1 thing that baffled me is: why is 'Kauffman II' written on the caseback? Kauffman II is actually a different model leh, hmm..





anyway..a few more pics to summarize everything up



Ohh, I forgot. The GMT hand can be set independently from the 1st click of the crown. I believed it's modified since there is no date.









switched out the stock strap & used a olive green strap on it :twisted:





couple of pics showing the subtle angular case edge. Crystal is non-AR coated & a mineral crystal









last but not least, a compulsory wristshot









& lume shot





hope you enjoy this review.



Obris Morgan Helmuth is still available & price is 189usd-205usd depending on the case variants.
