VANUATU

Named for the South Pacific island nation famous for its coral reefs and a WWII shipwreck, the HELM Vanuatu epitomizes rugged functionality. Featuring a 316L stainless steel case and chunky bracelet, automatic movement, screw-down caseback and crown,  sapphire crystal, unidirectional bezel, highly legible dial with bright luminous output and a 300 meter depth rating, the ISO 6425 compliant Vanuatu will go as long and as far as you do―above or below the waves. A tool watch through and through, the Vanuatu is the perfect beater watch for your everyday (or far away) adventures.

Available with your choice of black or white date wheel, the Vanuatu also includes the NS1 Nylon Strap―an excellent option in the water and a casual, lighter weight alternative to the stainless bracelet. And with a standard 22mm lug width, the Vanuatu can be dressed up or down with limitless aftermarket straps, including our own NS2 and NS3 nylon straps, LS1 and LS2 leather straps,  CS1 canvas strap, RS1 and RS2 rubber straps and the SS2 and SS3 stainless bracelets.
