HELICON Master ULTRAMARINE x Master Diver, AMI

Helicon Master – One Year of Real-World Diving with Master Diver, Ami Helicon Watches, a small independent British brand, is proud to share an exclusive look at the Helicon Master after a full year of rigorous real-world testing. Unlike many brands that showcase only pristine,untouched timepieces, Helicon believe in true transparency—and there’s no better way to prove their watch’s capability than showing you one that has been in daily use, in the ocean, by a real diver. Meet Ami – Master Diver & Helicon Test Diver, Ami is no ordinary watch wearer. As a master diver, and lead researcher for the Seychelles Whale Shark Research Programme, she spends seven days a week working in one of the world’s most challenging yet breathtaking marine environments. Her role isn’t just about studying whale sharks—it involves overseeing dive safety,managing ecotourism programs, and advising local government and conservation partners. In these conditions, reliability is everything, and for the past year, Ami has relied on her Helicon Master – Ultramarine Edition, as her daily timekeeping tool.

One Year in the Ocean – No Cosmetic Refresh, No Gimmicks - Many brands would hesitate to show you a watch after a year of hard use, but Helicon believe in showing the real thing. Ami’s Helicon Master has endured: 

• Hundreds of hours underwater 

• Constant exposure to salt water, sun, and sand 

• Dives up to 60m deep • Daily wear—no babying, no desk diving 

Yet, after a year in one of the most demanding real-world environments, it’s still going strong. The 316L stainless steel case remains resilient, the bezel action is smooth and precise, and the SuperLumiNova dial still delivers outstanding legibility.

Inside, the automatic movement continues to run flawlessly, proving why Helicon chose this ultra-reliable caliber for their professional-grade dive watch. FKM Skin Diver Strap – Built for Comfort & Durability Ami’s daily life means constant exposure to salt water, strong sun, and extreme conditions.

While she primarily wears Helicon’s high-performance rubber dive strap, sometimes she needs a change—especially when her skin has been subjected to the elements. That’s why she also uses Helicon’s FKM Skin Diver strap, which provides: 

� Ultimate comfort after long hours in the water 

� Resistance to UV and salt exposure 

� A soft, flexible feel for all-day wear And just like the watch, after a year of wear, it still looks as good as new. 

Every Helicon Master Purchase Helps Support Whale Shark Conservation - Helicon Watches isn’t just about creating great dive instruments—they believe in supporting the people and causes that matter.

That’s why every purchase of a Helicon Master helps fund Ami’s ongoing conservation work, protecting one of the ocean’s most majestic species—the whale shark. In 2025,

Ami will continue her work tracking and monitoring whale sharks, managing sustainable ecotourism, and ensuring marine conservation remains a priority in the Seychelles and beyond. 

If you’re looking for a true dive instrument, tested in the ocean, by a real diver, this is it.
