They say that if you want something done right you should just do it yourself. That’s exactly what the people from newly launched Helgray Watches did when they couldn’t find the right watch. Each of the four watches combines a modern Swiss Movement from Ronda with vintage and military style design cues in a 42mm case made of 316L stainless. The Field Officer is 3-hand with date. The California is 2-hand with a seconds subdial. The GMT is 3-hand with an additional time done. The Skyfighter is a 2-register chrono with date. They’re practical, affordable and good looking. If we were going to design an ideal every day watch, it would probably look something like the watches from the Helgray collection.
