Spinnaker Titanium Tesei SP-5084-66 Watch

The Watch

Spinnaker is a British brand specializing in dive watch design. Its models feature a modern aesthetic and captivate with their unique visual identity, showcasing the brand's excellent craftsmanship through a combination of high-quality materials and advanced functionality. The Tesei Titanium SP-5084-66 presented here is an essential timepiece for all your nautical adventures. As the name suggests, it pays tribute to Teseo Tesei, a former Italian Navy officer and inventor of the human torpedo. With a round case in titanium measuring 43 mm in diameter, 51 mm in length, and 13 mm thick, it is perfectly suited to men's wrists. It is topped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that effectively protects the dial from scratches while ensuring optimal legibility. On top, a unidirectional notched bezel features a black insert marked with Arabic numerals and white luminescent lines forming a minute track to measure your dive time. You can adjust the various functions using the notched, protected crown at 3 o'clock, offering a comfortable grip. In addition, this model features a screwed case back guaranteeing water resistance of 20 ATM.

The Dial

This striking round dial is dressed in black, perfectly capturing the nautical spirit of this watch. Its sandblasted base is enhanced by a smoked finish and adorned with contrasting-color indicators that bring a dynamic touch to the whole. It features two baton hands and a slender seconds hand indicating the hours, minutes, and seconds. These are silver-toned and coated with a luminescent treatment for readability even in the darkest environments. The hour indices, also luminescent, are baton-shaped and sit alongside a minute track running around the perimeter. A date aperture at 3 o'clock displays the current date. Finally, the brand inscribes its name at 12 o'clock as a signature, with the movement type and water resistance noted at 6 o'clock, followed by the mention "Titanium".

The Movement

This beautiful watch is powered by a Japanese-made automatic movement - the NH35 caliber supplied by Seiko. It features 24 jewels and oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 A/h, or 4 Hz. A reliable mechanism, it ensures the accurate motion of the hands and the date aperture for a precise display. The power reserve is 41 hours.

The Strap

This superb model comes with a titanium bracelet that impresses with its robustness and aesthetics. Composed of three rows of brushed and polished links, it ensures comfortable wear and pairs perfectly with any outfit. You can adjust it to your wrist using its deployment clasp with safety lock and push-buttons. Note that the lug width is 22 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, equivalent to 200 meters, this model is what we'd confidently call a true dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree: while this timepiece is more than up to the task for showers, baths, lap swimming, freediving, or recreational scuba diving, it is not designed for extreme deep-sea diving where pressure would overcome its water resistance. For professional divers taking on serious depth challenges, we recommend models rated at 30 atmospheres and above. We also advise against operating the pushers or crown while submerged, in order to maintain a perfect seal.
