Brand vibe

Bronze and brass tool divers for people who actually get them wet. Founded around 2009 by a mix of European and Asian divers, Helson keeps a deliberately short catalog — Shark Diver 42 and 45 in brass, Sharkmaster 300, Caribbean — built on Miyota and ETA automatics with Super-LumiNova, priced from $399 to about $650. Restocks are irregular and the lineup rarely grows, which is part of why the Shark Diver has stayed a cult reference for a decade and a half.

Not enough information for a duty figure

The fields above are reported facts. None of them establishes customs origin: that depends on the watch's tariff classification and a substantial-transformation analysis, and what you actually pay also depends on the seller's shipping and duty-payment terms. Ask the seller for the country of origin and whether duties are collected at checkout, and confirm rates against official sources.
