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 and RS2 rubber straps and the SS1 or SS2 stainless bracelet.

too clean for what i was thinkin' RW

i was thinkin' with a slippery slope like this who needs KY ?

but out of respect for STEVE and "fear' of BIG DOC WAMBO

i try to keep sex-politics-religion out of WIT...but getting harder to do as we are embroiled in an ORWELLIAN AGE

and fuhget about GEORGE CARLIN'S 13 filthy words...nevermore quoth the raven

but all that is small beer in light of murderous autocrats unprovoked war complicit peoples'republic big lie spreading like gospel right here USA

any hoo and now back to my promise no sex-politics-religion @ wit

aint seen many sociopath flamers or no account dirty grifters all my years here ... i had a lot of fun

and lest we forget LEE sisyphean ENABLERS R' US...he enabled me plenty...

even though ScottyB is a penny player on the stage of watches
 
Helm seems like a good-bang-for-your-buck watch company. I just received an email that my reservation for the Helm Vanuatu Titanium would be selected in the coming days to purchase, so I'll be giving that one some consideration.
