Spinnaker Bradner 42m Vintage-Style Automatic Sport Watch with a Luminous Bezel #SP-5057-05

Spinnaker Bradner 42m Vintage-Style Automatic Sport Watch with a Luminous Bezel #SP-5057-05

The Bradner timepiece is a vintage diver, developed with a compressor style case with a uni-directional turning bezel. Most notably the inner-turning bezel is a custom molded ring with five minute markers positioned at a straight horizontal, parallel to the dial for easy viewing. A liberal application of Swiss Super-LumiNova on the ring gives the elapsed time measurement great visibility in lower light conditions. The main dial also holds an applied minute marker ring and a square-shaped index that matches the baton-shaped hands. All of which have also been layered with Swiss Super-LumiNova material.

All of this sits under a curved edge and a slightly domed sapphire lens affixed to the 42mm diameter marine-grade stainless steel case which has been precisely carved and polished. Powering the Bradner is a workhorse NH35 (Seiko) 24 Jewel Automatic Self-winding hacking movement with 41 hours of power reserve that is visible through the exhibition see-through case back.

The two crowns sit at the 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock positions, operating time adjustment and bezel setting respectively. The lugs are proportioned appropriately and sloped down to create a snug fit over the wrist as it sits attached by a genuine leather, water-proofed treated hand-stitched leather strap.

    10 O’Clock hour marker is chipped/defective. Love the watch. Please reply for warranty info for you or Spinnaker directly. I’m a watch enthusiast and multiple buyer from L.I.W.

    Love the retro look and runs great. The only con is setting the internal bezel is slow and a pain unless you take the watch off to do it. But I suspected that anyway. Very pleased with watch and service.

    The Spinnaker Bradner is a very well made blue dialed watch that really looks great. My Bradner is keeping terrific time and I am very pleased with the purchase.

    Better in person! 50mm tip to tip. Works for 6.25"

    Has the quality finishing people keep complimenting Spinnaker for. Love the big domed sapphire crystal! Pictures do not do it justice. Sunburst blue is deep and vintage lume is a nice contrasting color. Awesome wrist presence, reliable movement. Minus one star for noisy rotor and inner bezel does not lock with a screw down crown. Otherwise 5 stars for the price.
