Helbros Invincible 21 Jewels Manual Wind Stainless Steel Case

his vintage Helbros Invincible is a manual-wind timepiece powered by a 21-jewel movement. The watch is housed in an all-stainless-steel case, noted as being manufactured in France on the inner back, and features a screw-down caseback marked as waterproof, anti-magnetic, and shock-protected. Its champagne-colored dial has developed a heavy and consistent speckled patina, giving it a distinct vintage character. The dial is appointed with a mix of applied baton indices and stylized, open-worked Arabic numerals at the cardinal hours, complemented by thermally blued dauphine hands with aged lume.

Overview

Helbros was founded in Geneva in 1913 but focused its efforts squarely on the American market. They were masters of marketing and had a keen sense for the styles of the day, offering reliable Swiss mechanics in cases that were pure mid-century cool. The “Invincible” line was one of their pillars, and the name itself was a statement of intent. These were watches built to last, a fact proudly proclaimed on the robust, screw-down stainless steel caseback, which boasts of being shock-protected, anti-magnetic, and waterproof. This was a watch engineered to be a dependable part of your life.

This particular Invincible is an absolute gem, packed with the kind of funky details and honest character that gets our hearts racing. What immediately sets this piece apart is the dial. While the layout is a classic, legible mid-century design, the stylized Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 are pure funk—rendered in a groovy, almost psychedelic font that is brimming with personality. This is all set against a beautiful backdrop of honest, earned patina, and brought to life by a sharp set of dauphine hands.
