Hi I am selling my spare Helberg CH1 Tungam watch I was inspired by the filler piece that gives the timepiece that lug-less look I liked along with its likeness to 22 carat gold plus it being a solid block of metal ( with no coating ) I liked the dial & design so much I had to own 2 of these CH1’s. These were made in very limited Numbers (30) by this awesome boutique watch company that pushes the limits on material & case design.  You are Bidding on one watch with some extras as listed below. I am selling this timepiece with all the original items & extras below,  as I no longer need 2 of them , I have had my fix:All plastic protectors & tags in fact all of the original packing & packaging, boxes, owner’s manuals & paper work, & all broacher’s, cards plus some little extras like a Helberg pelican Case & the like. The strap’s that will be supplied with this watch are 2 the 1st being a beautiful  Black Cordura strap with HELBERG CNC TUNGUM buckle the 2nd being a black rubber strap.I own several Handmade 4,00mm thick calf leather straps with stitching that can be purchase for usd$50 or aud$80 each. Please not as  am a collector I have heaps of straps in all shades & colours so we can arrange a good choice for a watch guy should you wish to change it up a bit & are willing to pay for each additional strap. Please note that the last 3 photos are prototype images & model like professional photography along with the 1st photo, the rest are of my actual watch taken in the sunlight, as you can see the Tungum is a solid block alloy case without any outer coating so the case will develop its own unique patina.    If a Rubber strap is required I can educate on where to purchase after payment is made on the watch plus I may have some spares also.New these were priced at the Dealer at Incl. Euro zone Tax: USD 2,223.99** so that is au$3060.84Excl. European Tax: USD 1,868.90 that is au$2568.44 + au$257GST = au$2825 (Australian Dollars) fully imported from Europe plus with duties plus Shipping was extra therefor aprox Au$2900 in total. Plus the glass display case back made from Titanium is an optional extra at au$90 so all up approx. au$2990 value landed in Australia. Making my asking price of $2250 a good saving.
Please Note this CH1 was a special order request by me as I have bought other watches from the owner in the past so just for me he did this favor the only 1 of 30 that was built with the lower profile double dome sapphire front glass as I like the watch height to be of a lower profile so as not to have it project out to much from my wrist thus avoiding unexpected knocks & bumps.      CASE HEIGHT of all the other 29 is 27.25mm with spherical sapphire front glass and closed case back, this was too high for me with this bubble like high dome glass that can go deeper down into the deep sea, some guys love it for that reason & the fact that it distorts the dial read a lot giving freaky views at angled glances, mine is like a mild convex dome with very mild distorts on angled viewing. Mine is under 16.5mm with the double dome sapphire front glass and sapphire display case option, so a very wearable watch, just a detail of what I wanted out of this particular timepiece.

Tungum is very difficult to manufacture with CNC machines, which results in a high defect rate during production and high manufacturing costs. Apart from its obvious aesthetic qualities, which can be likened to that of 22 carat gold; Tungum is well suited to marine environments, where it is favored for its anti-magnetic and anti-sparking properties and high corrosion resistance to seawater. It is currently being used in a number of off-shore industries. With a reliable SWISS ETA 2824 movement, a case made from TUNGUM, highly polished minimalistic bezel, our unique spherical double domed sapphire glass and a closed or display back made from Titanium, the CH1 offers the best value and quality in the watch market. Especially the exclusive spherical sapphire crystal offers never seen distortions of the dial from specific angles, but also allowing the close to perfect view to the dial from top view. The HELBERG CH1 will be delivered with an exclusive black Cordura strap and a white leather strap in vintage look. 1 strap will be equipped with the interchangeable HELBERG CH1 CNC buckle made from TUNGUM. The attractive, optional bracelet made from stainless steel with micro adjustment clasp is complementing the design of the HELBERG CH1. The dive extension is also integrated into the design of the clasp. It’s available upon request at an addition fee as although I have not worn it as yet I may install it on my other CH1 down the track.The Watch is supplied on a black Cudarra strap and an additional rubber strap is included. I have others that can be purchased upon request at an addition cost of aud$80 each. The metal braclette is au$250 extra & has never been worn or fitted.     SPECIFICATIONS:   CASE MATERIAL: TUNGUM CASE BACK: Comes with the extra / Optional TITANIUM Sapphire Display Case Back CASE DIAMETER: 42mm CASE HEIGHT: 25.25mm with spherical sapphire front glass and sapphire display case back CASE LENGTH: 57.00mm LUG WIDTH: 22mm WR: 6000M / 600bar with spherical sapphire front glass and closed case back3000M / 300bar with spherical sapphire front glass and sapphire display case back CROWN: 9mm screw down type DIAL: Black dials with chromed marker / Super-LumiNova BG W9 HANDSET: Chromed handset / Super-LumiNova BG W9 MOVEMENT: SWISS ETA 2824-2, Automatic, 28.800 bph, Power Reserve 42h, Hacking Second     STANDARD ACCESSORIES: Handmade 4,00mm thick white calf leather strap with silver stitching with keeperBlack Cordura strap with keeper and HELBERG CNC TUNGUM buckleScrew driver Security case incl. vent pelican style in blackWarranty Card OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES: HELBERG CH1 SS bracelet with 3.60mm thickness and MICRO-ADJUSTMENT clasp Optional Titanium display case back is includedHandmade Italian calf leather straps with 22mm width and different stitching and color could be purchased as I have some spares’Tungum Alloy (Aluminium-Nickel-Silicon brass) combines an unusually high strength to weight ratio, with ductility, excellent corrosion resistance, and first class fatigue properties along with its non-magnetic properties.  Highly resistant to sea water and its atmosphere, Tungum resists both stress and crevice corrosion to offer outstanding serviceability, even at intermittent duty in the highly corrosive ‘splash’ zone offshore drilling platforms. Used in War Ships Submarine’s & in deep sea & marine environments. Tungum is non-magnetic and has non-sparking (electrostatic discharge) properties. This allows Tungum to be used in high pressure gas pipework systems (oxygen & inert gases).Uncommon among copper alloys, Tungum alloy can be precipitation hardened using heat treatment techniques. This enables its physical properties to be modified as required to suit various applications.Tungum alloy can be used for low temperature (cryogenic) applications.Early records reveal that in the 10 years after the First World War Sidney Tungay, a metallurgist, was experimenting with a new copper based alloy which he hoped would look like gold when polished and which would be durable in everyday use. In an article in the 1934 British Trade Review, Tungum alloy was introduced thus –‘Tungum is an alloy discovered by a well known metallurgist from whose name the alloy is derived. Experimenting with a view to finding a combination of metals suitable for a special purpose he had in view, he produced a compound which is known as TUNGUM. Recognising that its close likeness to 22 carat gold would make it a marketable commodity the inventor carried out a series of tests which satisfied him that he had discovered a wonderful alloy.’I will be Listing more watches soon as I am halving my much Loved collection.Please before payment is made we must both agree on the payment method as I prefere EFT over other Payment methods on large sums due to fees & the like.
