- Is this Spinnaker's Best Dive Watch? 300M WR, fantastic lume, cool 70s inspiried retro design and a unique octagonal case make this one of Spinnaker's most functional and stylish dive watches to date. Now on an ultra thick stainless steel bracelet that unfortunately could use some more refinement.
The Dumas should be available on 10/10/2019

To everyone with the bracelet keeper problem. I just dabbed 2 drops of superglue on my keeper where I wanted it to stay and it stays just fine , you can’t even tell that it didn’t come that way from factory! Totally fixed the bracelet problem and makes it wear perfect , no flopping end!
Spinnaker is one of the few microbrands that I really like.
Great review and I appreciate the honesty. I’ve recently found your channel and have really been enjoying the archived content. Your style is unique and very entertaining. Thanks for the videos!
Just bought the black face Dumas based on your review thankyou, great vid. I replaced the metal keeper on strap with an orange one. It doesn't slide around and colour matches minute hand. Don't mind the strap, High quality like you mentioned also love the correlation with the original Omega 70s diver homage on the mesh.
I found the same problems with the strap, replaced it with a nice brown leather racing strap👍
Thanks for the video review! Do like the fact that any SS bracelet works great on the watch without any gaps and that other straps look great on it! I would prefer a leather strap over a mesh bracelet any day.
It looks elegant and robust, and the bracelet make it look edgy too. what an ultimate watch.
I love the watch, but hated the Milanese band. I ended up buying the ‘Genuine H Link Shark Mesh 316L Stainless Steel Watch Strap’ from WatchGecko. Now I love the watch and I love the Shark Mesh bracelet. It is 4.5 mm thick, which is 0.5mm thicker than the original strap, it has a milled clasp and it is very easy to resize. It’s a shark mesh bracelet that looks similar to the Milanese band that came with the Dumas Seaspray White, but without any of the irritating problems. Best of all, it really compliments the Dumas, it looks great (far nicer IMHO) and is a lot more comfortable to wear. For those that don’t like weight, it is approximately 40 grams lighter. I believe that Spinnaker will change to the ‘Genuine H Link Shark Mesh 316L Stainless Steel Watch Strap’ at some point in the near future.
thank you
Great review. I agree with a lot of what you said. Great looking watch, they just should of kept the rubber strap.
Yeah I'd have preferred the rubber to this one, but even better would have been if they could have fixed some of the design issues and made the thick mesh work.
They should have designed the bracelet so the tail went under the strap instead of over. This would have negated the need for a keeper and made the whole bracelet thinner.
Great video! Your are the most honest watch youtuber ,in my opinion. Thanks. With yellow dial remind me a doxa sub.
Just one more watch copied dave opinion about bracelet
Love the design but the watch is a bit too thick for me. Still great value for money.
Thank you for sharing, great channel.
Thank you for pointing out the keeper issue. I just bought this watch and though it was defective. Hoping Spinnaker has a cure or will switch the band out.
That 44mm case diameter scares me. My wrist is 6.75-7”. Wish it was 42.
I concur about the 'traveling' keeper. Other than that...Love it. Thinking on a solution.
Like it, damn shame about the bracelet- I'm a big fan of Milanese mesh (currently wearing my lightly modded Turtle on a Steib) Excellent video quality, keep it up 👍👍
New grey version out now, might take a chance on it
I really like the look of the gray one.
Did you buy it ? How it go ?
Great review, I have an older style but your the 1st reviewer thats pointed out the issues which I found that clasp kept popping loose till I had to swap out bracelet for rubber straps, also my mineral bezel smashed on a slight contact, which I am hoping they look into for me, but I still fancy getting the exactt style of piece you have, that white face is awesome .
Great Job- Kind Regards from the UK, Nick.
I am so close to buying this watch. Because of the bracelet, I bought the Phoibos Eagle Ray this time and passed on the Dumas. It's still on my want list. Wondering if it would be better on my 7¾". Cheers!
I have the black dial model, and love it.
great review Dave! i just have a bit of an issue with the price tag ... i guess i'm too cheap
It's one of Spinnaker's more expensive watches, likely due to the 300M WR and the steel bracelet. Still compared to comparable offerings from Seiko it's pretty reasonably priced, especially if you're using a discount code.
Great watch! Great review! Can you please give me some Information about witch Brand is the extra metal bracelet you’ ve had on this watch? Trank you!!
Content quality 📈👍
just ordered mine with a 30% off coupon.
Good review, nice watch. What's wrong at 12 though? The pip looks misaligned or something. I'd expect better at the price.
Yeah it's just slightly misaligned
Can I put on a 22mm white silicon strap on this watch? Would that look nice?
I think it would look great! But it might be a tight squeeze depending on how thick the strap is. You could probably get it on, but it might take a little muscle.
Donde se puede encontrar un Seiko SNXS79J1 dark grey a un precio aceptable. Es dificilísimo de encontrar y los precios son inasumibles. Gracias
Elapsed time lumeshot plz lol
Nice 70s intro!
Glad someone picked up on that！
The hour hand should be an orange sword to compliment the minute hand. It’s too small, looks like it’s off a different watch, and tends to disappear.
That's part of the design they were going for, to make the mi ute hand stand out for easier reading of elapsed time, but yeah I agree the hour hand could stand to be a little bigger.
Another great review. 👍
Looks like something the old Bond might have worn.
Love your content
Thanks man!
Nice vid, what is your wrist size? Thanks
About 7.5 inches.

Do you know where I could possibly buy this watch in Europe? I see them out of stock on their website.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Spinnaker usually does small batches so they often sell out. The Dumas is one of their more popular models so they will likely either restock or release some new variations at some point. Until then places like eBay are probably your best bet.
I just got mine today from a website called TIMEBYME. I absolutely love this timepiece btw
Nice watch, band seems not so practical.
I hate a date function on a dive watch

The metal bracelet is garbage. Totally unusable.
