As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

With a love for racing inspired watches, the Celegin Helgonet 38 takes a step away from the military and aviation themed watches we’ve made so far. Helgonet is Swedish for “the saint” which was the name of a British fictional spy TV-series from the 1960’s. In the series, Roger Moore, aka Simon Templar, famously drove a white Volvo P1800 making it a legend. Since our watch is inspired by the small sports car, we believe that the name is a delicate gesture towards the spirit of those times.

The stepped dial has two main areas; outer black and the inner light blue. Both parts are electroplated to give a nice sunburst effect. This, together with the applied numerals and indexes are a tribute to the original and notoriously illegible dashboard clock of the P1800.

I’ve got the Celegin Treudd, which is probably their least niche output- cracking watch, great build quality and I can even forgive the 4pm date, great lume as well! I’ve actually been wearing it to work all this week!!

I do like the design of this new one, I just feel they should be offering the off-white dial insert alongside the blue
