Halios is one of the OGs of the microbrand scene — the kind of name that gets collectors excited not because of hype, but because of consistency
honesty, and killer design instincts.
Founded by a guy who listens, builds what he’d actually wear, and keeps everything small-batch and personal, Halios is independent
watchmaking done right.
Halios was launched in 2009 by Jason Lim, a Canadian watch enthusiast who wanted to build a diver that didn’t feel like a knockoff. From the start
Halios stood out for clean designs, great proportions, and no-frills tool watch functionality.
Lim kept things lean — no outsourced customer service, no press tours — just direct communication, thoughtful production, and a reputation
for selling out everything within minutes. Over time, Halios became a cult favorite among dive watch fans, microbrand collectors, and design purists alike.
Halios hits a sweet spot between tool-watch toughness and clean, modern design — often with subtle retro cues and wear-anywhere sizing.
Fan favorites include:
Movements have ranged from Miyota and ETA to more recent models using Sellita SW200 or SW300 — all Swiss-made and easy to service.
Because it’s a brand built by a watch guy for other watch guys, and it shows in every detail — from case finishing to strap options to
customer interaction.
Halios watches wear well, age well, and feel like they were designed by someone who actually cares about the experience on the wrist.
No overbranding, no fluff — just great proportions, excellent quality control, and a clean aesthetic.
And because the value-to-finish ratio is outrageous. Most models come in around $700–$1,000 new, and they often punch well above that.
Halios releases are low-volume and high-demand, so availability comes in waves:
Expect $775–$1,100 retail, depending on model and options. Pre-owned pieces? Rare and highly desirable — especially Seaforths and older Puck models.
Halios is a masterclass in how to run a microbrand.
Every model I’ve handled — especially the Seaforth and Fairwind — has felt dialed in. The finishing is tight. The sizing is perfect.
And the fact that Jason still interacts directly with buyers? That’s rare.
If you want a watch that was built for real-world wear by someone who truly gets it, Halios is one of the smartest indie buys you can make.
Delray Watch is always on the lookout for unique Halios watches — especially Seaforth, Fairwind, and Universa models in original configurations.
