Spinnaker Hass AutomaticvsTudor Black Bay 58 GMT

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 Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT is widely praised for its functional, proportional, and ergonomic design, wearing identically to the standard Black Bay 58 and feeling substantial without being oversized. Owners are very happy with the 39mm case proportions, noting an improved 12.8mm height. The gilt dial aesthetics and gilt-effect accents are a point of praise for some, while others find them divisive. The Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT features the METAS-certified MT5450-U movement, which is anti-magnetic to 15,000 Gauss and offers a 65-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT highly for its improved case proportions and gilt dial aesthetics.
