Spinnaker Bradner - The Automatic Diver That Doesn't Look Like The Rest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Today we take a dive into the Spinnaker Bradner. This compressor style watch is a new release from Spinnaker. Housing the venerable Seiko NH35 movement and boasting a sapphire crystal, this diver is one that won't get confused with the rest.
Take a look at the Spinnaker lineup at: www.longisland...
Thank you for watching.
They did a nice job of making the details stand out without being obnoxious. As usual videos are great. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it.
I really like this watch Marc, a very vintage feel. I also appreciated the close-up shots. Well done.
Absolutely lovely Marc! Thank goodness for the NH35, which makes it possible for us to enjoy so many cool styles of watches that can be both well made and at prices that are affordable...And if I may say so Marc, blue is most definitely your colour...awfully nice. :-)
Thank you so much!
My first 2 watches were the Bradner, and the Invicta Pro Diver. The Bradner is a BEAUTIFUL watch. I wear it almost everyday. I have the blue dial with black strap, cos it just looks better on my skintone.. Plus easier to dress up a bit.
Hoping to get either a Seiko or Manufaktur Waldhoff for a dress watch. Thanks again for your great vids. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for checking it out!
awesome watch,i grabbed one to add to my collection . I love the 57 Chevy vibe too
I love internal rotating bezels. That is a solid looking diver!
Their best watch so far!
I agree there.
It's certainly purdy.
Glad to see that you have the Bradner in stock now. Marc. I'm quite certain they'll sell well.
Hope so!
Nice ! Think I prefer the Dan Henry 1970 when it comes to this style watch .. about the same price.. and gotta love the orange😍
Thanks for watching!
Marc I own the blue one version 3 which has become my favorite, put it on a nice NATO strap for daily wear. Don’t miss this watch.
Thanks for sharing.
Loving the look of the spinnaker the blue is really cool
Spinnaker makes some good looking watches. The day they make one 40mm or under I would like to buy one.
Nice watch,Marc. Love the blue especially. Sapphire looks cool too with that rounded edge. I would buy one of these and the price is reasonable. Best regards as always and thanks for sharing Adrian in Sheffield England 😀
Thanks Adrian!
Added to my wishlist. I think the black dial will contrast nicely with my blue dial Ray II.
Perfect addition!
The green one with the black case is by far the nicest
Hello Mark, its Queen of the Night, nice watch and interesting review, thanks for earlier advise about con merchants.
Thanks for watching.
I have the black dial Bradner, nice unique diver.
The black looks better than the blue which is unusual but both great looking.
Thank you. I'm partial to blue myself.
Nice looking piece.
Sure is, thank you.
You remind me of the pawn shop dude from Men In Black.
Now I'll never unsee it
Zaxkz EstusChugger haha that’s all the more reason to watch this channel. That was one of the best characters. Along with the Alien Pug.
I'll have to watch. I've been called Mr Bean before.
In a good way :)
@@islandwatch In case you didn't know, Mr. Bean holds an M.Sc. in electrical engineering from Oxford.
Nice watch. I love internal bezels and need to add one to the watch box. This could be the one.
Sounds great.
The seiko presage cocktail time is the real star of the show !!! ✨✨💯✨✨
Good for me then!
I think you're overdue for a Scrooge McDuck wristwatch check. Thanks for the video!
Okay! Will do :)
very nice watch
Is this the same blue dial that comes on the Bradner SP-5057-03? Can't tell if the only difference is the strap color. Lume looks different in product shots. Great video. Thanks!
Is it just me or the black one looks smaller than the blue one when you hold them together?
Probably just the way I'm holding them?
Will be buying a blue one eventually. Originally my thoughts were oh this spinnaker is overpriced given an nh35 is $40 on Ebay. But the Vostok compressor 800b27 800b28 with the 2415 /2416 was $267 when it was in stock and uses around a $40 movement. So I've changed my mind at least about this model.
I enjoy every one of your videos. They are always interesting and I usually learn something new. I know this video was about the Spinnaker, but I have a question about the Seiko you were wearing. I'm guessing that's not the SARY081 (Ice Blue), is it the SSA343J1?
Yes, that is correct.
I prefer the Dan Henry 40mm 1970 compressor... Has more of a vintage vibe..
Same but theyre both real good looking watches, id take the 1970
It does, but it bothered me it had a mineral crystal.
one big problem with dan henry watches- the name!
monster and presage huh? they fit Caribbean pretty well; diving by day and cocktail party by night
Haha, thanks!
Hey Marc! Can you recommend a metal bracelet for this watch with those "solid curved" end links? I don't really like the straight end links on a metal bracelet... Thank you!
HI MARK NICE WATCH AND NICE SHEAPSHANK KNOT ON YOUR ROPE BRACELET
LOL, thanks.
The display caseback is it mineral or sapphire glass?:-)
The seiko presage is nice.
Thank you.
Lovely watch. Especially at that price point.
Sure is.
Not exactly my cup of tea. Don't get me wrong this is a lovely watch just a little sedate for my tastes. So hoping a BULOVA video is somewhere in the future. Recently learned about UHF (Ultra High Frequency) BULOVA watches and they sound and look amazing.
No worries, thanks for checking it out.
Whats your wrist size?
Just for comparison of my 7" wrist.
Thanks
How does the lume compare to something like the Seiko SKX007? The application style looks great, but on videos at least it doesn't look as strong - is that fair? Would the lume on this one last the night, for example?
It is strong, but not as strong as Seiko.
Is there a difference in Sapphire Crystals? It used to be they were reserved for higher end watches but in the last few years (that I'm aware) I've seen them on $30 watches. Perhaps different grades?
There is certainly lower cost crystals around now, but sapphire is sapphire.
Hi Marc....what is Sapphire coated mineral Crystal?....where it stands between Acrylic, Mineral and Sapphire?....Do u sell any watches like that....plz do watch and learn if possible on it....
I do not think there is much difference.
Leather/pleather band on a dive watch?
i checked out your website.
Oh man I used to have an orange monster.
New to the channel..... So can someone explain me the watch on both hands thiny😂
that seiko looks almost exactly like the SARY081, which you do sell?
That is correct :)
Can someone please tell me how I can get my hands on this watch, I can’t find one anywhere
Same here... I'm looking for the 22 light blue and that sucker is OUT everywhere. Good luck get on the email list for updates and be ready to buy when they drop
Is it just me or does this look exactly like the Dan Henry 1970 Compressor?
For some reason I find the numberings smaller with the black dial... 🧐🧐🧐
You aren't the only one.
This or the Dan Henry 1970?
hi mark is that swiss made? or japanese made?
Neither.
Can you turn the bezel underwater?
Probably not a good idea.
On a watch that's supposed to be a diver??? Freakin' LOL
I seriously considered this watch but the multidirectional bezel killed the deal for me.
Are internal bezels uni-directional? Didn't really think about it.
Normally they are unidirectional to eliminate the chance they will be bumped and tell you you have been at depth for less time than actual keeping you from making a fatal error. It just would have been nice for them to implement that in this watch.
It looks okay but Dan Henry 1970 is the better choice imho. True compressor and better looking overall.
Thanks for watching.
@@islandwatch I actually enjoy your videos quite a lot. Keep up the good work! 👍
What about price ?
It's in the video.
I don’t get why they put semi-dive watches like this on leather straps...
I think it's all look.
I would not engage in serious water sports with this watch, specially with the display case back. Looks great on the wrist though, as Marc said.
What kind of Seiko is this !? 😨
LOLOL
That's a fashion diver looking watch and not a true ISO certified diver. One of the ISO criteria is that it must have a unidirectional bezel. That watch doesn't as you showed it moving both ways.
the 9 oclock indice is seriously badly applied

Please refrain from buying Spinnaker watches at least from their site, directly if you do not like after buying & even one day wear this company do not even take it back ,this is how customers are treated.Loads & loads of you tube video as they have sent it to all watch geeks & once you fall in trap you are doomed.
