It has been a while since I looked at a Spinnaker. This one has lots of potential, but doesn't quite get there due to some odd decisions and some QC issues. It would be OK at like $350, but it isn't $350. Cheers, Jody

COLLECTION
Updated and improved upon, the Tesei Titanium is now available as a bracelet. A host of subtle but important upgrades make this timepiece a true tribute to the spirit and ingenuity of Italian Naval legend Teseo Tesei.
DIAL
True to its militaristic inspiration, the dial is designed to be efficient and effective at offering a clear cut read out of time. The hands in particular have been redesigned and upgraded with layerings of X-1 Swiss Super Luminova.

DESIGN
Crafted out of Grade 2 Titanium, the case has been hardened with Nitrogen for increased scratch resistance.

The Tesei case is forged out of the tensile strength but low density of Titanium. Hardened with Nitrogen and topped with a Ceramic inlaid bezel with luminous markings, every element of the design and fabrication has been carefully considered. A scratch resistant sapphire lens with anti-reflective coating makes this an effortless, durable and robust timepiece to wear for all conditions.

Great packaging isn't always an indicator of corners being cut. I can testify that with my watches from Zelos. That can be the exception rather than the rule, so I kind of agree with Jody.
