[Brand SPINNAKER]
SPINNAKER arrived in Japan in 2019 under the "casual city diver" genre. Recognized for its potential to encompass all of 2020's watch trends, including mechanical watches, vintage designs, divers' watches, and high-spec practical watches, the brand is expanding its presence mainly in select shops, watch specialty stores, department stores, and online.
【Latest Model "CROFT"】
In 1967, US Navy diving instructor Robert Croft became the first person to freedive to a depth of 200 feet. Spinniker's latest model, "CROFT," is a collection that pays tribute to the great Robert Croft's achievements and infuses his spirit into the watch. The vintage-finished dial changes appearance depending on how the light hits it. In addition, the domed glass, thick waterproof leather strap, and coin-edge unidirectional rotating bezel fulfill the joy of owning a diver's watch with a vintage feel.
【Features of 'CROFT'】
1. Beautiful vintage-processed dial with delicate texture
The carefully crafted dial, with its delicate texture creating a vintage feel, shows different expressions each time you look at it as light refracts.
2. Thick 4mm waterproof leather strap
The thick strap creates a tough look on the wrist. The waterproof strap is resistant to sweat and water droplets, making it a reliable choice for active scenes.
3. The "just right size" of 43mm creates a statement on the wrist
The impressive 43mm diver's face creates a tough look on the wrist. The Spinniker logo is engraved on the side, allowing you to enjoy the flawless design.
4. Super-LumiNova that emits a strong glow in the dark
Equipped with Swiss-made Super-LumiNova. This high-quality luminous paint emits a powerful glow in the dark, supporting comfortable everyday life, such as making it easy to check the time in the dark.
5. Mechanical watch with a Japanese-made movement
This is a highly reliable mechanical watch that uses the Japanese-made MIYOTA8218 movement. You can enjoy watching the movement of the movement through the case back.
6. Highly durable and transparent sapphire crystal

What is SPINNAKER?
https://youtu.be/V-B9slyzNvc
SPINNAKER was designed with the concept of "a watch that transcends the sea and lives with the sea" as a watch for people involved in marine sports such as yachting and freediving.
The brand name "Spinnaker" comes from the large, hemispherical sail that is hung in front of a yacht's mast and used when there is a tailwind. It was adopted as the brand name to represent the "spirit of adventure" that drives people out to sea.
This symbolizes a person taking the helm and sailing. An illustration of a spinnier also appears in the logo, and its elegant image is firmly engraved on the rotor of the drive mechanism.
【Origin of the name "Spinnaker"】
"SPINNAKER = A yacht's sail that steers with a tailwind"
This is a triangular sail that is hung in front of a yacht's mainsail and used when there is a tailwind. It was adopted as the brand name to represent the spirit of adventure that drives people out to sea. This symbolizes a person taking the helm and sailing.
Spinica launched its vintage collection in 2016 and began selling at Galeries Lafayette in Paris in 2018, garnering considerable acclaim. Furthermore, the brand's name spread further amid the "vintage design boom" and "diver's design boom" that took hold in 2019, and it is now available in Italy, the UK, France, the US, and Hong Kong. It has grown into a popular brand, selling more than 40,000 units per year. Spinica, a watch that has attracted global attention, made its first appearance in Japan on October 1, 2019, and is generating a lot of buzz.
【Characteristics of the Spinica Brand】
1. Attracting worldwide attention! A casual, stylish vintage diver's watch
The "diver's watch boom" and the "vintage watch boom" are sparking a global fad. The Spinnikar's tasteful design, incorporating elements of both trends, has garnered popularity, garnering attention worldwide, and in 2019 it will be available in Japan, Germany, Taiwan, and South Korea.
2. While many watches cost over 100,000 yen, this is an affordable, luxurious automatic diver's watch that can be enjoyed for around 30,000 yen
This authentic watch is automatic and fully equipped with luminous elements, yet remains in the 30,000 yen range. It will be developed as an affordable, casual watch for the city.
■Automatic winding (Japanese-made movement)
■Luminous (Swiss-made Super-LumiNova)
■Screw-down crown
3. Something that seems common, but is rare! A special waterproof leather strap
Not only is the watch water resistant to 18-20 atmospheres, but unusually for a wristwatch, the leather strap is also waterproof. While we do not recommend wearing it for long periods of time, it can be used in contact with water, such as in the shower. A great deal of attention to detail goes into it.
