It looks like a very long time considering the fact that we previewed the brand new Halios Laguna again in January but minimal and behold it is now offered for public use and Halios’ third observe can be a unique get within the retro diver archetype. Chances are you’ll remember the Holotype plus the Bluering that we’ve reviewed before and if which means you will remember we have been extremely amazed because of the interest to detail, in good shape and end, and style of Halios’ two earlier designs. Not only may be the new Laguna an outstanding wanting enjoy however it also has long been developed with all of Halios’ awareness gained after the first two products introduced. This new design exhibits Halios’ maturity, a superb knowledge of their current market and a passion for earning interesting and fascinating activity replica watches. The brand new Halios Laguna is slated like a sports activities replica watch and it has a series of well engineered attributes which is an excellent snap shot of Halios’ upcoming.

The Laguna’s most right away apparent element is its really unique scenario design. Countless of Halios’ competition use catalog circumstances which are not specific to that manufacturers structure but accessible from a situation manufacturer. From the price tag and practicality point of view this is purely rational but to a dive look at fanatic or simply a collector a bespoke case is quite significant and adds to the individuality in the timepiece. The Laguna’s circumstance is actually a mixture of gorgeous angles and curves, the raised ring that encircles the crystal as well as extended, retro styled arching curves within the situation sides trace at the satisfaction that was taken if the Laguna was in its style and design levels. The complete is additionally exceptional with sharp edges, smooth brushed finishes and excellently grippy crowns. The 4mm thick sapphire crystal is flat and fits flush into your case’s almost bezel-less body. The case is somehow present day and sophisticated although adopting a classic design and style that is definitely paying homage to replica watches such as Seiko 6105 plus the Enicar Sherpa Super Dive.
The dial and hand set to the Laguna has noticed a refresh for the reason that kinds observed about the Holotype as well as Bluering. The Laguna features an over-sized sword formed hand set that’s very legible and enables for the huge total of C3 Superluminova luminous paint which happens to be fairly brite and lasts very long adequate to generate the Laguna helpful as a bedside clock. The Halios emblem is definitely an applied inlay that matches properly along with the chrome border which surrounds the date aperture. The date window is big as well as white textual content on the black wheel works nicely and allows the date to get go through without boosting your wrist in direction of your eyes. The dial can be a flat medium black that comes off as slightly grey in bright gentle. The painted markers on both of those the dial as well as the inside rotating bezel are significant plenty of to match the handset. The only real color on this model is the orange “Laguna” which sits previously mentioned the 500m drinking water resistant ranking printed on the decreased dial. On condition that the Laguna has broken the Halios mildew and is not a standard dive observe we thinks it is brilliant the Laguna has become created to stand up to 500m worthy of of force. The inclusion of a reflector gives the Laguna a more refined and chic aesthetic as opposed to last two versions from Halios which might have ideal been explained a “tool divers”. The reflector is bidirectional and operated via the crown at 2 o’clock. The motion is purposefully heavy but extremely smooth as it does not have “clicks” similar to a traditional dive bezel. The crown won’t screw down but turning it needs plenty of pressure that accidental rubbing or brushing will not go the bezel. In my knowledge this is the most effective internal bezel I have ever operated and the full knowledge exudes high-quality and a focus to how the observe will truly be used. Sure, you could make use of the reflector like a dive timer, nevertheless it is much more possible people will evaluate a lot more remedial routines like food prep, brief outings and breaks at do the job and this is exactly what the Laguna has beed created for every day life. The crown motion on the 4 o’clock crown is additionally impressive, the actual crown is more of the cap that screws on top of the system that extends from the look at. Compared to normal systems that rely about the operator forcing a crown/stem system into a screw set that is a lot more simple and has a much additional confident feel. The crown displays no wobble or play from the stem and the h2o resistant gasket is even visible if the crown is unscrewed (please see video/photos).
The bracelet lives approximately the final two Halios designs as it is massive, weighty and properly made. The Laguna’s bracelet uses single-point screws (where the screw assembly is really a single piece that screws to the bracelet link, not to the fitted end of another screw) which means you need only one screwdriver and it really is extremely simple to add or remove links with out scratching the bracelet. The fold around clasp has four micro adjustment points plus a built in wetsuit extension. The links themselves are solid and have curved outer edges which are both of those comfortable to wear and look good. The scenario back again about the Laguna features a shark as well as a wave pattern, a design which was the winner in a Halios contest, it must be pretty cool for the winner to see their art on the back again of the enjoy. Along along with the bracelet Halios has someway managed to include an Isofrane dive strap.Isofrane was reborn in 2010 but can retrace their history back to producing dive replica watch straps inside the 60′s that were not made of rubber but a more friendly compound called Isoprene. This vintage fashion dive strap looks amazing within the Laguna and is particularly a really nice accessory considering its $100+ price tag when bought separately. Also included while using the Laguna is really a screwdriver and a pin-bar tool for sizing the bracelet and removing the strap or bracelet from the case. All of these accessories come in a lovely wooden box with fitted inserts and a magnetic latch. I recently bought a $1300 Tag Heuer that didn’t come with anywhere near as nice a kit for the Laguna.
In day to day wear the Laguna is predictably major and feels as solid for a enjoy can. The case, whether fitted to your bracelet, the Isofrane or perhaps a leather strap of your choosing looks exceptional and thanks to the legible dial structure can carry out its time telling duties with ease. This example ran +3 seconds/day that is superb, even for the dependable Swiss ETA 2824-2 that beats inside. The Laguna just isn’t too tall at 14.5mm but it’s possible you’ll have trouble fitting a tight cuff in excess of the enjoy so I recommend rolling up your sleeves and showing it off. When it seemed like a extensive wait the Laguna has proven to become yet another exceptional observe from Halios and offers surprisingly good value at $670 USD. When you factor in the accessories plus the rising expense of sourcing ETA movements Halios’ to start with non limited edition timepiece is very likely also their best value to date. The Halios Laguna is out there from the all black design seen here, or the buyer can chose a gray, or orange/black reflector. We don’t think there is often a bad choice in the entire lot. Halios’ initially step outside of serious dive replica watches is actually a legitimate success and the Laguna will probably appeal to some larger audience and expand Halios already considerable fan base.
