Overview

Halios is a watch company founded in 2009 by Jason Lim. According to its official About page, it runs on three principles: offering a quality, well-built watch that can be taken into the water; exceeding after-sales support expectations; and striving to design cool things. Its manufacturing partners are based in Asia, Switzerland, Germany and the US, with final QC and testing taking place in Vancouver, Canada. Watch movements are typically sourced from Japan or Switzerland depending on market availability and watch model, and production runs are small. The company began on online forums dedicated to dive watches, and while hardcore enthusiasts still make up the bulk of its customer base, an increasing number are first-time watch owners. Its homepage lists models including Seaforth IV, Universa II, and a Universa II / Vitreous Enamel Series, along with FKM straps.
