03The community take

Owners talk.

“

The HELM Vanuatu Titanium is widely praised for its lightweight titanium construction, brushed gunmetal finish, simple and legible design, excellent lume, and drilled lugs, representing strong value at $300. Owners report that the unhardened titanium scratches easily, and some find the 42mm case too large for smaller wrists, while long waiting lists are also a notable drawback. Some owners express a preference for Miyota 9x movements over the Seiko NH series. Overall, owners rate the HELM Vanuatu Titanium highly for its titanium build and excellent lume at the price point.
