Big thanks to Joshua for picking it up, it’s headed your way now buddy.


KOMODO

Tucked among the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, the remote Komodo island is home to the famed Komodo dragon, while the tropical waters surrounding the island are host to some of the richest marine biodiversity on the planet. Begging to explore these rich waters, the HELM Komodo features a 316L stainless steel case and bracelet, automatic movement, screw-down caseback and crown, domed sapphire crystal, unidirectional bezel, highly legible dial and a 300 meter depth rating. With a compact case diameter of 40mm, the ISO 6425 compliant Komodo is the perfect size to strap on for any far-flung adventure.

Available with four dial variations and several aftermarket bezel options, the Komodo also includes the NS1 Nylon Strap―an excellent option in the water and a casual, lighter weight alternative to the stainless bracelet. And with a standard 20mm lug width, the Komodo can be dressed up or down with limitless aftermarket straps, including our own RS1 rubber strap and the SS1 or SS2 stainless bracelet.

the watch case will abrade the ends of the strap.
