Shabby Spinnaker Wreck
Spinnaker Wreck Watch
Friends, hello everyone, you are on the channel about Feeltime watches, Stanislav is with you as always, and today we will talk about the model that I first brought to my store when I just started working with the Spinnaker brand about 3 years ago.
This is a Spinnaker watch from the Wreck collection.
They were dismantled very quickly when I brought them in for the first time, and I think they will be quickly dismantled this time too. I'll explain why throughout the review.
Please don’t forget to subscribe to the channel, like it in advance, and I’ll get started.
I’m trying to remember from which brand I first saw an artificially aged watch case and bracelet. Most likely it was Invicta after all.
And then there were Spinnaker Wreck, which were specially aged at the factory. And it's a cool effect.
It certainly doesn’t look like the clock was dragged along the asphalt and voila. It is clear that the texture is still there and this is exactly how it was intended.
To be honest, this effect makes the watch look significantly more expensive than it actually is.
And in general: firstly, it looks cool and gives them a vintage feel, and secondly, such a coating will collect less scratches. So it turned out to be both aesthetically pleasing and practical.
The case itself and the bracelet are made of 316l stainless steel.
I remember that when I first reviewed this watch, I said that it was a Rolex homage. Honestly, examining them now I see some similarities, but it’s difficult to say that this is outright homage.
Some elements - yes, but, again, elements can be found in a bunch of other watches.
Of course the bracelet is. Anniversary bracelet. The quality is very nice. Quiet rustling, good attachment to the body. Butterfly clasp. Hides the fastening mechanism.
The bracelet is definitely from Rolex.
I really like the case. Visual quality is excellent. Streamlined shapes.
Very comfortable head without protective bulges. After all, this is a watch with retro echoes from divers of the last century.
Very comfortable bezel with 120 clicks. Completely made of stainless steel. It is also beautifully aged in the factory.
The size of the watch is not small.
Diameter - 44 mm, from lug to lug - 51 mm, Thickness - 13.5 mm, weight - 167 grams.
On my small hand, 18 cm in girth, technically they look correct. That is, from ear to ear they clearly grasp the brush. But the watch feels like it will open up on a more massive hand.
Let's go through the characteristics. Here, in principle, there is an established standard for a microbrand in this price category. Although it’s hard to call Spinnaker a microbrand anymore. The guys have accelerated very well in recent years.
So: on board the classic Seiko NH35A. 42 hours power reserve, frequency - 21600 vibrations per hour, error according to the passport is 20-40 seconds per day. In reality it is usually more accurate.
Overall an excellent, absolutely problem-free mechanism. Tested personally by me and a huge number of my clients.
Water protection - 200 meters. The head is screwed on. You can scuba dive.
Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
Well, let's of course look at the dial.
It, like the body, is aged. Moreover, it is aged extremely stylishly. The plate itself looks rusty.
The stain was applied to both the hands and the markers. This is a very nice detail, especially for such an inexpensive watch. The guys were really confused.
Date on black base at 3 o'clock. Doesn't distract.
And of course, Swiss Super Luminova on the hands and markers.
The price of this beauty is only 14350 UAH.
To be honest, no comments about the price. Starting from appearance, idea, and ending with quality and characteristics - This watch is made perfectly.
Even if I wanted to, I have nothing to complain about. And I don’t want to.
I'll leave this activity for you in the comments))
And you can buy the original with an official 2-year guarantee in Ukraine in my Feeltime online store. I am the official distributor of the brand. I will leave the links at the very bottom of this article.
That's probably all. I hope it was useful, and Stanislav was with you as always, until we meet again. Bye!
