Croft Mid-Size Steel Watch SP-5100-11

The Watch

This diver takes its name from Robert Croft, a U.S. Navy diving instructor and the first diver to reach a depth of 200 feet in free diving in 1967. The Croft collection by British brand Spinnaker delivers watches with performance worthy of the legend it proudly represents. This model features a bold, masculine stainless steel case measuring 40mm in diameter and 13.8mm thick, topped with anti-reflective sapphire crystal for superior scratch resistance. A graduated bi-directional unidirectional bezel surrounds the case so you can track your every achievement. The screw-down crown at 3 o'clock lets you wind the movement or adjust the time and date as needed. Finally, the case back delivers water resistance up to 15 atmospheres.

The Dial

The round dial features a stunning black face with a sandblasted finish that's impossible to resist. At its center, three hands display hours, minutes, and seconds. The silver-toned hands are partially coated with luminescent treatment, ensuring optimal readability even in the darkest environments. Hour markers - also luminescent - come in varying geometric shapes: rectangular at 12, 6, and 9 o'clock, and round for all other hours. A railroad minute track runs along the dial's outer edge for added precision. A date window sits at 3 o'clock, fitted with a magnifying lens for easy reading. The brand name appears at 12 o'clock, while the movement type and water resistance rating are noted at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This fine timepiece is powered by a Japanese-made automatic movement. The NH35 caliber drives the hour, minute, and seconds sub-dial hands, as well as the date window.

The Bracelet

Dive into the depths with confidence thanks to the rugged stainless steel bracelet. Secured by a push-button deployment clasp for extra safety, it features a 20mm lug width.

Water Resistance

With water resistance rated at 15 atmospheres - equivalent to 150 meters - this model earns the title of dive watch without hesitation. A word of caution, though: while our watchmaking experts agree that this timepiece handles showers, baths, lap swimming, and freediving with ease, it is not designed for professional scuba diving with tanks, where the pressure would exceed its rating. For professional divers, we recommend models rated at 30 atmospheres or more. We also advise against operating the push-buttons or crown while in the water, in order to maintain a perfect seal.
