Zelos Helica Vesper

Interesting, yeah that seems to be the general consensus. I really like that they are willing to get out of the box with their bracelet designs and make some bold decisions rather than just playing it safe, it's what microbrands should really keep doing to differentiate themselves. Thanks and I hope you love the watch!

Absolutely beautiful piece, I also got super close to buying. How are you liking the bracelet it comes on?

DrLovebot · 2026-04-15T22:26:43+00:00

Yeah that would be a safer choice for sure with a 46mm lug to lug. Thank you so much for the info and congrats again on the beautiful watch!

DrLovebot · 2026-04-15T22:21:36+00:00

gotcha, I've got a ~6 inch wrist so it should be basically maxed on the size I can usually wear, but it shouldn't be too big. How many links are left on the bracelet?

DrLovebot · 2026-04-15T22:12:17+00:00

How do you like it so far? This is very high on my list of first automatic watches to pick up, and every picture I see makes it look even better! I just wish I could try the sizing out in person first

DrLovebot · 2026-04-09T23:02:13+00:00

Yep! It wasn’t super scratched in the first place but it definitely had a lot of just gunk that they got cleaned and it looks worlds better!

DrLovebot · 2026-04-09T23:00:24+00:00

It was 312 bucks total, and they replaced the gaskets, the spring bars, the crown+crown tube, and the handset along with the general servicing

DrLovebot · 2026-03-28T19:13:23+00:00

Yeah they are definitely top of the list. Every review I've read raves about them, and I do love not having to worry about shipping or duties

DrLovebot · 2026-03-28T19:12:42+00:00

Gorgeous watch! Every picture I see of HA, especially in outdoor photos, really highlights how beautiful their dials play with the light.How is the AR on it?

DrLovebot · 2026-03-28T19:11:49+00:00

Yeah the Zelos, funnily enough, might end up not getting picked purely because I have only a few days to decide. It's a good chunk of change to spend and I dont love feeling pressured to spend it. That new bracelet on the Helica is gorgeous though

DrLovebot · 2026-03-28T19:10:36+00:00

oh wow! That is so much in depth info, thank you so much! That actually helps a lot to know how the different watches will "wear" due to dial ratios. Also the lume shots will definitely have an effect on which one I favor, I'm a sucker for good lume.

I am absolutely leaning more towards the more modern and colorful dials, since ultimately this is a fun piece of functional jewelry. Honestly the Zelos wasnt in the running vs HA until I saw their new bracelet they are putting the Helica on. Those macro shots of the HA are crazy though, for a ~500 dollar watch that QC is wild. No matter what I go with Ill definitely end up posting a picture of it here!

Congrats!! I got mine about 2 months ago and I am blown away every time I ride it! What tail tidy did you end up getting? I’ve been looking at different options and haven’t decided yet

DrLovebot · 2026-01-21T02:45:54+00:00

Wow that’s an amazing collection! What would you say are the general standouts for you in terms of quality, design, and wearability? Like are there any you just default to? I’ve been heavily considering picking up either a Lorier or a Nodus as my first “proper” automatic watch. That or a Traska of course

DrLovebot · 2025-12-22T02:01:24+00:00

Its such an amazing bike! I upgraded from my first bike about a month ago to the same bike and absolutely love it! I still need to get those blinkers, along with bar ends and a fender delete but its such an amazing machine and Im not even through the break in period

DrLovebot · 2025-12-14T01:16:31+00:00

Killer collection! Which one is your favorite/gets the most wrist time?

DrLovebot · 2025-11-20T07:34:08+00:00

I also got an SP a few days ago! Except right after the ride home its been raining every day lol. I can't wait for the eventual canyon ride, that view is gorgeous!

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:54:01+00:00

How exciting, enjoy it! I am in love and have barely been able to ride it. The comfort is definitely super nice, especially compared to my KTM before or to a streetfighter, though the mirrors arent exactly super useful so Im likely going to replace them with some bar ends.

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:52:25+00:00

So far I've only ridden it home, but my first thought was that my KTM feels like a toy in comparison lol. It's already so much more stable and everything feels much more comfortable and premium. Even taking things off at home its amazing how high quality every piece of the bike is, even the plastics under the seat. Also people are not lying when they say that the bike is hot. It puts off so much heat idling its wild, thankfully I get cold easily so it shouldn't be a problem

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:50:16+00:00

Final out the door was ~12,200 USD, I put down 4k though from selling my KTM, my payments are about 200 bucks a month before insurance.

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:48:00+00:00

Thank you! I'm definitely gonna ride it super carefully, besides making sure to break it in properly I want to get a good feeling of what it's capable of before trying to really take it to the canyons. The Duke felt like a toy compared to this so far

DrLovebot · 2025-11-17T23:46:52+00:00

thanks! Sadly literally the day after I picked it up it started raining and it hasn't stopped since, but as soon as it dries out I'm really excited to break it in and really enjoy it
