Spinnaker's Croft Automatic

[AtomicTom]

Did everyone already have a chance to see Spinnaker's Croft Automatic?

The new watch looks to honor the US Navy Diving Instructor Robert Croft.
Who was the first person to free dive in 1967, to a depth of 200 feet.

Just a few of the details include a 43mm stainless steel case, 150M WR,
domed sapphire crystal, unidirectional rotating bezel with aluminum black,
blue, brown, or green matte insert, lume pip, nice fumee dials in black, blue,
brown, and green with Super Luminova coated markers, and hands, leather
strap, and Miyota 8218 automatic.

Here is a look...

I think they are pretty much there with the design and feel of this one but the sub dial and date magnifier make it look way too cluttered. Shame as I like the colours and textures of dial and bezel materials

I had the same reaction. A nice effort but that wonky sub-dial/magnifier combo bothers me. They tried unsuccessfully to play the elements off each other.

Take away the cyclops and we have an interesting watch

I agree also

Why are they so stuck on the miyota 81 series?

Because they are cheap and because these are sold more to the casual buyer than the watch nut.

Where do you find this stuff, Tom?

Watch looks interesting enough for what it is...
