Status
No longer offered. Not in Helson's current 20-product lineup (helsonwatches.com/sitemap.xml, checked 2026-09-13: 8 brass Shark Diver 42/45 references plus 7 Caribbean references, no titanium case). Confirmed as a genuine past Helson product via the maker's own now-dead product pages, archived by the Wayback Machine: Shark-Diver-45-Blasted-Titanium-Green-p276503068 and Shark-Diver-45-Brushed-Titanium-Grey-p276501072. The catalog's prior id and ref used "Military", which is a case-finish name a reseller used ("Military Blasted Titanium") rather than a distinct Helson model line; the maker's own naming is Shark Diver 45 Blasted/Brushed Titanium.
