Bradner Steel Blue SP-5062-22 Watch

The Watch
Discover Spinnaker's collection of diver's watches and fall for the charm of the Bradner model. This collection draws its inspiration from the world of the sea and pays tribute to American physicist Hugh Bradner, inventor of the neoprene wetsuit. The eponymous watch appeals equally to diving enthusiasts and watchmaking aficionados. It perfectly marries modernity and tradition, combining vintage lines with state-of-the-art watchmaking. The Bradner model presented here sits in a 316L stainless steel case - the finest quality for a watch bracelet, being both ultra-resistant and hypoallergenic. Round in shape, it measures 42mm in diameter and 15mm in thickness, a size that suits men's wrists perfectly and slips easily under a shirt cuff or a diving suit. The model's robustness is further enhanced by a domed sapphire crystal, delivering optimal time-reading clarity at every moment. Two notched crown pushers at two and four o'clock allow you to adjust the hands, set the bidirectional rotating bezel, and manually wind the movement. Finally, the caseback reveals a breathtaking scene: the transparent screw-down caseback lets you admire the endless ballet of the movement in action. This Bradner watch will win you over as much for its beauty as its functionality - once you've adopted it, it will never leave your wrist.

The Dial
The dial reveals the full expertise of the British brand. It features a double-circle design in a deep blue reminiscent of the seas and oceans. The inner circle presents a sandblasted finish evoking sand filled with countless shells and stones shimmering with color. You'll be drawn in by the gold-toned hour markers ringing the inner circle's edge, complemented by a minute railroad track in black on a gold background. The hands indicating hours, minutes, and seconds are visible at the center of the dial and share the same warm gold tone as the markers. Both the hands and the hour markers are treated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring visibility even in the darkest ocean depths. The outer circle features a bidirectional rotating bezel - reminiscent of those found on classic diver's watches - graduated in five-minute increments to track your dive time. The bezel markers are also treated with Super-LumiNova for visibility underwater. At three o'clock, a date window displays today's date in white on a blue background. Finally, British brand Spinnaker places its signature beneath the twelve o'clock marker and notes the movement and water resistance at six o'clock.

The Movement
An automatic movement beats at the heart of this timepiece. Of Japanese origin, it comes from Seiko's manufacture. The NH35 caliber ensures the precise oscillation of the hour, minute, and second hands. Reliable and highly accurate, it comprises 24 jewels and provides a 41-hour power reserve - giving you all the time you need to explore the ocean floor with complete peace of mind.

The Bracelet
To complement the masculine, retro look, a gray stainless steel bracelet adorns the timepiece. It features rice-grain links with a polished finish that showcase the British brand's craftsmanship. Its flexibility and durability make it exceptionally comfortable for everyday wear. You'll be proud to sport this Bradner watch on any occasion - professional or sporting. It fastens with a simple deployant clasp fitted with push buttons. The lug width measures 20mm.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance of 150 meters - or 15 ATM for those who prefer the pure, elegant, and technical language of watchmaking - this watch is built for recreational diving. It can withstand showering, bathing, and swimming in the sea or pool during shallow, non-professional dives (free diving). For professional scuba diving, our Ocarat watch team has handpicked a selection of 30 ATM models available in our catalog via a simple search on our site. One last reminder before we let you go: never operate the pushers or crown while in the water!
