Spinnaker Hass AutomaticvsLongines LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK TITANIUM

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.

The LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK TITANIUM is widely praised for its luxurious finishing on titanium, attractive anthracite dial with gold and red accents, and precise COSC-certified L791.4 movement. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight its value as a flyback chronograph with a 68-hour power reserve and 100-meter water resistance. However, its 17mm case thickness is a significant concern for wearability, particularly under sleeves, with some suggesting alternative strap options. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK TITANIUM highly for its finishing and value, despite the noted thickness.
