New for 2022 from micro-brand Spinnaker Cahill
Friends, hello everyone, Stanislav is with you, online watch store Feeltime.com.ua and today we will get acquainted with the novelty from the Spinnaker microbrand from the updated Cahill collection.
The old version of this watch was a frank homage to the luxury Blancpa Fifty Fathoms. I really like the design of this model and there is even a video in which I feel it took first place among microbrands in a certain price category.
Spinnaker Cahill 2022 watch
The new model has noticeably changed in the case. He got bigger. 43 mm, against the old 40 mm.
From the design of Blancpain departed. Now it is a completely independent watch. Of course, there are elements from other brands, but try now to find watches that will not have similar elements from other models.
If you take the style as a whole, then these are the same vintage divers. In this regard, the Spinnakers are absolutely devoted to themselves.
Frame
The body is made of stainless steel. Almost completely satin finish. There is a mirror polishing, as is now fashionable, between the transitions of the surfaces.
The crown is large and comfortable.
The bezel has a matte blue insert on the blue dial version, and a black one on the green version. Bezel processing is top notch. Very smooth, does not sharpen anywhere, does not cling.
There is a minus in this, due to such smoothness, the grip is simply terrible, and the bezel itself is very tight. It is inconvenient to rotate, although in general the clicks are expensive, there is no backlash and everything is done on a level.
watch bracelet
In the bracelet, I do not see any changes from the previous version of Kahil. I really like the shape and quality. All links are cast, the geometry is excellent, no extraneous sounds and excellent satin finish.
Folding clasp with double fixation. Cast. Comfortable, reliable, cute. Plus there is a diving extension.
The back of the watch has a nice engraving of waves, which again hints at the diver's belonging of the watch. In this model, water protection has been increased from 150 meters to 300. The head is screwed by itself for better tightness of the case.
Dimensions
Let's measure the clock. My tool shows a diameter of 43 mm with kopecks, from ear to ear exactly 50 mm, thickness - 13.7 mm, bracelet width - 21 mm at the case and 18 mm at the clasp. Weight - 187 grams
Watch on my hand
On my hand with a brush of 18 cm in girth they look good, but I can assume that on a larger brush it will be even better.
dials
As always, Spinnaker pleased with their branded dials. I really like their grainy texture. In this model, we have an expensive gradient from deep blue in the core to black at the edges.
The marks are very large and high, which gives additional volume. It goes without saying that with an abundant layer of Swiss Super Luminova.
Both colors, in my opinion, are very stylish and the most interesting, which is why I brought them.
Of the minor amenities - this is the date on a black substrate, which once again does not distract attention.
Characteristics
Covering all this beauty is a slightly convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and of the unnamed characteristics, only the mechanism remains.
This is a Japanese self-winding Seiko NH35A. We can say that this is a classic and a standard for affordable watches from microbrands.
Results and conclusions
The price for each color in our store today is 12200 UAH, which, taking into account such quality and characteristics, is a serious competitor to popular brands that are both more expensive and will not offer anything similar in this price segment today.
The spinnaker is always more than worth its money, and from us you buy only original watches with a 2-year warranty.
