Chic diver from Spinnaker Boettger

Spinnaker Boettger watch

Friends, I greet you all. You are on the channel about Feeltime watches, Stanislav is with you, as always, and today we will look at one of the most expensive models of the Spinnaker brand from the Boettger collection.  

Today the price of this model is about $680 according to the exchange rate, and sometimes they write to me, saying that for this money you can buy a Tissot, why do I need some kind of no-name watch?

Well, firstly, Spinnaker is no longer a brand and is developing very dynamically, and secondly, during the review I will explain to you why not everyone chooses the same Tissot for the money.

Equipment

I'll start with the packaging. This is a large, waterproof yellow case that comes in an equally bright outer yellow box.

I guarantee you that from the start such a box will give you the right emotions.  

Inside you will find the watch itself, an additional rubber strap and a tool for changing it. Plus, this folder will contain instructions and a certificate with the limited number of your model.  

Each color of this watch is limited to 630 pieces worldwide.  

Not a single Swiss or Japanese brand will give you such equipment for this money. Everything will be very simple. Plus, straps of this quality don’t cost $10, as many people think. If you send a request for a strap to the same Tissot, then its price, to put it mildly, will unpleasantly surprise you.  

And the model I’m showing today has a really expensive and high-quality belt.  

Let's look at the clock ourselves. 2 colors arrived in stock. Green and blue dial. I really liked green, so I’ll look at it in detail, but if you watch the video to the end, you’ll definitely see the blue coloring.  

Very nice design. The first thing that catches my eye personally is the floating hour markers that are glued to the glass from the inside. In fact, they are not glued, but attached to rods at the beveled part of the dial, but it really looks like they were glued to the glass.

A very unusual effect that I have never seen in a wristwatch before.  

The watch is large and massive. 316l stainless steel case and bracelet. In terms of finishing, we have satin almost everywhere. As is now fashionable, mirror polishing at the intersections of the side and top surfaces.  

The quality of the finish is excellent. This kind of quality is usually found among the Swiss on watches from 35+ thousand UAH.  

I really like that the crown is located in the lower right corner under the protective beads. This looks unusual and is very convenient. Nothing will interfere with your wrist.  

The watch has an all-metal bezel. Comfortable grip, clear and expensive clicks. True, there is minimal play. But it's not annoying at all.  

The back cover of the watch has a laconic engraving of the Spinnaker brand. On screws. Some characteristics are also listed here.  

The dimensions of the watch are 42 mm in diameter, from lug to lug - 43.5 mm, which is excellent, since short lugs are always the key to a great fit on the hand, thickness - 13 mm and weight - 204 grams.

On my hand it is 18 cm. The girth fits well, but the larger the hand, the better it will be. The model is massive and heavy. I wouldn't recommend it for a smaller hand.

The bracelet is of excellent quality and complex shape. It is wide at the base of the watch and tapers towards the clasp. The quality of finishing and geometry are excellent. Moreover, even the internal parts of the links are well processed.  

Double-lock folding clasp with diving extension. There are 3 divisions for quick adjustment to your hand.  

What do we have according to characteristics :

Anti-reflective sapphire, 300 meters of water resistance and a screw-down crown for better sealing.  

Japanese automatic mechanical movement Citizen Miyota 9015, which small brands install on their expensive models. Power reserve 42 hours. The only drawback of this mechanism is the slightly noisy rotor. Sometimes you can actually hear it spinning.  

But I have seen similar stories in watches costing several thousand dollars. Just a feature of the mechanism.  

I really like the khaki color of the dial. It’s like a pool is set deep inside the clock. The arrows are at the base of the pool, but the marks, as I said earlier, float above, which creates a cool volume.  

The date is on a black background so as not to distract your attention.  

In general, it reads perfectly and looks very stylish.  

I forgot to show you the strap. You can't show it in the video, but the quality of the rubber is very high. It is soft and very pleasant to the touch. You understand such things only when you have held so-so rubber in your hands and have something to compare it with.  

And I have something to do with it.  

I like the blue color less. In this model it is of the deepest shade of blue. As is the strap.  

Which one do you like best? Write in the comments.

Well, I'm ready to sum it up .  

This is a watch of excellent quality. Chic design. This is not surprising, since the prototype of this watch is an old model of the famous German brand Sinn.  

Here you will find quality finishing, detailing and excellent performance.  

Here you will find a rich set of equipment with an expensive case and a cool strap.  

Here is a limited edition for you.  

The same Tissot watch at this price will be simpler in all respects. Of course, someone is ready to take it easier, but with a well-known brand. I won't try to convince you otherwise. Everyone chooses their own and that's ok. But if the brand is not the most important thing for you, then you will be very pleased with the watch.  

You can buy these models in my Feeltime online store. I am the official distributor of the brand in Ukraine.

I hope you found it helpful. That's all for me, Stanislav was with you as always, until we meet again. Bye!
