Spinnaker Hass AutomaticvsTimefactors PRS-40

The Spinnaker Hass Automatic is a 43mm watch featuring an NH35 movement and sapphire crystal, with owners highlighting its beautiful dial. Some find Spinnaker watches, including this model, to be on the thicker side, with one owner describing the Hass X MCS Blue Fade variant as comically large and chunky. The Spinnaker Hass Automatic was offered at $445 USD as part of a special collection with customized elements, and a limited edition of 200 pieces was also available for $195 shipped. On balance, owners and reviewers note the attractive dial as a key positive, though some express reservations about the watch's thickness.

Owners widely praise the Timefactors PRS-40 for its unique, "badass" and rugged, futuristic design, with many highlighting the 12 o'clock crown as a distinctive and appreciated feature. The bead-blasted finish is noted to show light marks but resists deep scratches, and the sapphire crystal is considered good. While some owners find the 40.2mm case size acceptable, others describe the watch as large and wearing big, though it is noted to wear thinner than an automatic version. The fixed lugs necessitate the use of NATO straps, and the included strap is well-regarded. On balance, owners rate the Timefactors PRS-40 highly for its distinctive, bombproof design and unique crown placement at an accessible price point.
