Halios Tropik B (Pics intensive)

Was looking around for a bronze watch after being "slightly" poisoned by the Maranez Layan and the Bronze Helson Sharkdiver at the 2nd anniversary gathering and saw this beauty.

yummy looking but it's also very dressy considering the dial and hands design..

Yes!! Very yummy! The SS version also looks good!!

I'll be more concern about the casing though...

Since it come with a diving specs, after you go dive with it, what will happen to the casing? Since salt water is much more corrosive than rain or plain water... which will cause a thin patina...

The overall design is quite dressy and refine, not like the usual more toolish design we get with most of the bronze divers.



The 4th last picture actually shows the patina after about 2mths of normal wearing

Nice piece but why the skinny hands?

yeah... didn't notice until you point it out. The hands are so slim to read under water, especially being a dive watch.

Nice, i like the simplicity of it. How much is it?



Edit: USD$675 + shipping

Die liao la, tio poisoned already... :twisted:

Meant to be a bronze dress diver. Believe with the Horween leather strap, meant to ooze class vs. macho, utilitarian. Plus need to take account of case size. IMHO. It's good value bronze for those who don't want to she'll out so much with the current availability in market. :D

i guess this is more on the 'dressy' diver style than a true diver watch hence the use of such hands.



doubt it can be classified as a diver watch when there's no diver bezel in the first place
