Spinnaker Wreck Automatic Black Brown

Scuba diving has not only opened the majesty of the underwater natural world, but also allowed us to revisit episodes of our own history through the exploration of shipwrecks.

The Wreck Automatic Diver from Spinnaker echoes some of this Scuba universe through design cues and techniques. And yet, it remains a wearable, functional and compelling dive watch.

The Wreck measures 43mm in diameter. The watch has been distressed by hand individually to suggest that the watch itself might have been fished from the oceans after decades on the sea floor.

The superbly clear hardened mineral crystal enhances readability, in contrast with the scratched, etched dial underneath, which creates a superbly wreck-like look.

In the darkness of the ocean floor, the indexes, along with the hour and minute hands, glow luminously to allow for low-light visibility – true to the performance expectations of every Spinnaker timepiece.

The aluminum insert on the unidirectional-turning bezel is hand treated, abraded and is faded to be legible, yet keep the spirit of the design together. The case features an exhibition glass caseback, through which one can view the utterly reliable Seiko NH-series self-winding automatic movement powering the watch.
