Other: There is a lot to love about this rare Helbros Skin Diver. Let's start with the amazing black gloss dial - Check out the unique luminous triangles with inset numbers at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock! The rotating black acrylic dive bezel still has its luminous dot in tact. And how about the unique handset and matching yellow patina all around? This one also wears well on the wrist and looks great with just about everything.
