Hands-on: Spinnaker Boettger

As someone with first-hand experience of the Sinn 809, I know all too well that there are plenty of fans of the original who have been calling for a reissue or homage of this distinctive watch. Of course, ‘plenty of fans’ in the niche world of watch enthusiasts doesn’t always mean enough potential buyers to make a successful production run but finally, these calls have been answered in the form of the Limited Edition Spinnaker Boettger. The inspiration for many visual aspects of the Boettger is unmistakable, but I’m going to leave any direct comparisons aside and take an objective look at this interestingly constructed dive watch.
