The Spinnaker Tesei Bronze Edition is a historical bronze dive watch documented in four variants, references SP-5060-01 through SP-5060-04. A sponsored 2018 aBlogtoWatch article reports a 43 mm case, 300 m water resistance and a Sellita SW200 automatic movement. Those are launch-era claims, not confirmation of current production or stock; the available resale example is marked sold or removed.
What is the Spinnaker Tesei Bronze Edition?
Spinnaker’s Tesei Bronze Edition was presented in 2018 as a bronze-cased diver. In its sponsored article dated October 31, 2018, aBlogtoWatch described it as the brand’s first hand-assembled-in-Switzerland offering. That is the article’s characterization, not independently verified manufacturing history.
The article is the strongest available source for the model’s launch-era specifications. It does not establish whether the watch remains in production, whether authorized retailers have stock, or what a current example should cost.
Which Tesei Bronze reference is which?
The four documented references differ mainly in dial, bezel and strap color. Check the reference as well as the photos when identifying a listing.
| Reference | Dial and bezel | Launch-era strap description |
|---|---|---|
| SP-5060-01 | Brown dial and brown bezel | Brown strap |
| SP-5060-02 | Green dial and black bezel | Dark brown strap |
| SP-5060-03 | Blue dial and blue bezel | Tan strap |
| SP-5060-04 | Black dial and black bezel | Dark grey strap |
The launch article describes the straps as handmade, hand-stitched in Florence, Italy, and made from 22 mm buffalo hide. This records the original description; it does not establish the condition or originality of a strap on a pre-owned watch.
What specifications were reported at launch?
The specifications below are those reported by the sponsored 2018 aBlogtoWatch article, rather than independently verified current official specifications.
| Feature | Launch-era report |
|---|---|
| Case | Bronze; 43 mm wide and 16 mm thick |
| Water resistance | 300 m |
| Bezel | 120-click unidirectional ceramic bezel |
| Crown and valve | Screw-down crown and recessed helium release valve |
| Crystal and case back | Sapphire crystal and exhibition case back |
| Luminescence | Super-LumiNova on the dial and bezel markers |
| Movement | Sellita SW200 automatic, with date and hacking; 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and a reported 38-hour power reserve |
The figures help identify the model, but they are not a condition report for any particular watch. For a used example, ask for its service history and any documentation of water-resistance testing; a launch-era rating alone cannot show that an older watch remains water resistant.

What did the Tesei Bronze cost at launch?
aBlogtoWatch reported an original retail price of $850 in 2018 and a limited launch offer of $599 through November 2, 2018. Both are historical prices, not present-day valuation guidance.
EveryWatch’s search result showed a U.S. used listing for the blue SP-5060-03 at $500, but the listing is marked sold or removed. That result cannot establish a live asking price, the watch’s condition, or its sale value. Current market value and available inventory are not established by these records.

How to assess a pre-owned listing
Because the available resale example is no longer active, treat a listing as unconfirmed until the seller verifies it directly. Compare like with like, especially the reference and colorway, and evaluate the watch itself rather than relying on launch specifications.
- Reference and appearance: Match the SP-5060 number to the dial and bezel combination; request clear photos of the actual watch.
- Case and patina: Ask for close-ups showing wear, damage and the bronze’s current surface appearance. Patina and overall condition can vary between examples.
- Movement and service: Ask whether the movement has been serviced and request available service records.
- Water resistance: Request recent test documentation if water use matters. Do not infer present-day performance from the reported 300 m launch specification.
- Strap and fit: Confirm the strap’s condition and width. Although the article reports a 22 mm strap, verify lug compatibility and strap-end fit on the actual watch before ordering a replacement.
- Completeness and transaction terms: Check whether box and papers are included, and confirm seller reputation, return terms and the total price directly before paying.
Is it still available new?
The available evidence does not establish current official production status or authorized-retailer inventory. It therefore cannot support a claim that the Tesei Bronze Edition is currently available new. A seller or marketplace result should be checked for live status and matched to the exact reference; the existence of an old listing or launch article is not proof of stock.
