Encased in a 43mm stainless steel body and paired with a matching solid stainless steel bracelet, the Fleuss model delivers a substantial yet comfortable presence on the wrist.

Key Features
- Automatic (Self-Winding) Movement: This watch is powered by a mechanical automatic movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. No batteries are required, making it an eco-friendly and maintenance-conscious choice for daily wear. If the watch is not worn for several days, it may stop and will need to be manually wound or reset to resume accurate timekeeping.
- 43mm Stainless Steel Case: The mid-sized 43mm case diameter strikes a balance between presence and wearability, fitting comfortably on a wide range of wrist sizes. It’s large enough to stand out without feeling oversized, making it suitable for both casual and more formal settings.
- Solid Stainless Steel Bracelet: Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the bracelet offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and a polished finish that maintains its appearance over time. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability, while the classic link design complements a variety of outfits.
- Dive-Inspired Design: While not rated for professional diving, the Fleuss model incorporates design elements rooted in traditional dive watches—such as a clean, highly legible dial and a functional aesthetic—that pay homage to underwater exploration. This heritage styling adds character and visual appeal, even when worn in everyday, land-based environments.
- Spinnaker Craftsmanship: Manufactured by Spinnaker, a brand recognized for its nautical-inspired timepieces, this watch reflects a commitment to detail and durability. Each component is assembled with care, resulting in a watch that feels solid and well-constructed on the wrist.
