About this entry

79% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, crown, link attachment.

The 42mm size of the Helica, listed by Zelos on 24 March 2026 alongside the Helica 39 (a separate model) with three colourways. Wave MOP was still for sale at Zelos on 2026-10-21, so the model is in production; Steel Blue and Salmon were sold out and are recorded as limited (no edition size stated). Specs from Zelos: 42mm, 49mm lug to lug, "10.5mm without crystal, 11.9mm with crystal" (the same height as the 39mm), 316L steel with brushed and polished surfaces, 22mm lugs, 100m, Miyota 9015 with custom date wheel, box-shaped sapphire with inner AR coating, Super-LumiNova C3 and BGW9 X1, multi-link faceted bracelet tapering 22 to 18mm with Zelos's 2026 "all new butterfly clasp with quick adjust, which offers 4 positions of adjustment or 10mm". Solid engraved caseback, quick-release bracelet and butterfly clasp per Time+Tide; fixed steel bezel and solid end links per SeriousWatches. Micro-adjust is recorded as on-the-fly because Gear Patrol describes the clasp of the same bracelet on the Helica Moonphase as "activated by pressing the Zelos logo button on the outside", the external-button design Zelos describes on its Swordfish page as making adjustments "without having to undo the clasp". Five links per row counted from Zelos's photos. Date at 6. Crown type not stated. The Steel Blue and Salmon share their names and dial descriptions with 2025 Helica 39 colourways but have different guilloché patterns in the photos. Weight not published.
