Spinnaker Hass AutomaticvsZelos Aurora Field

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 Zelos Aurora Field is praised for its unique and gorgeous dial, with the hammered teal bronze version and its great lume, particularly on the minute track, being singled out. Owners find the rubber strap comfortable and flexible with good hardware, and the watch is highlighted as feature-packed for its price point, including 200m water resistance, Grade 2 titanium, and 30,000 A/m anti-magnetism, with the new clasp noted as the best to date. However, some owners criticize sharp bracelet edges, an odd case shape with lugs that cause it to wear high, and dial text that appears cheap and plasticky, with one commenter finding the straight lugs look a bit off. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Aurora Field highly for its value and unique dial, despite some concerns about case and bracelet finishing.
