The Spinnaker Hass Watch Marks A Collaboration With The Marine Conservation.

Released on 8th June, World Ocean Day, the Spinnaker Hass is a tribute to the life and work of noted Austrian Marine Biologist, documentarian and diving pioneer Hans Hass.  

The Spinnaker Hass is a limited edition timepiece with only 500 of each colourway produced. The sales of each watch will go towards the funding of work undertaken by the Marine Conservation Society for a cleaner, better protected, and healthier ocean. 

The watch is available at Spinnaker-watches.co.uk for £375.

The two colourways take inspiration from the natural palettes across 

the depths of the ocean crafted solidly and with intent as being 

sturdy, robust dive watches. 

The HASS is capable of 300m of water resistance, with a solid 

stainless steel case topped with a dual register countdown

and time elapsed timer bezel. With a scratch-resistant 

sapphire lens, the watch displays the detailed, carefully finished 

dial. The index and hands are coated with generous layers of 

Swiss Super-LumiNova for better visibility in lower light 

conditions. 

A battery-free Japanese Automatic, TMI NH16 Automatic 

movement with a custom ‘roulette-style date wheel provides an 

enduring, robust timekeeping engine for the HASS. 

The HASS hugs the wrist with a choice of solid stainless steel 

bracelet or a rPet (recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) 

nylon Nato strap that is fabricated from recycled discarded 

plastic. 

Throughout the design of the HASS and its packaging, the watch has been considered to be an operating, wearable 

reminder of the sustainability, long life, recyclability, and circular economy possible and necessary to preserve the health and the integrity of the ocean.

The packaging is crafted out of recyclable, bio-degradable card 

printed out of non-toxic dyes. 

Spinnaker is proud to be partnering with the Marine Conservation Society

through the connection of the Spinnaker Hass dive watch.

The contribution made through sales will go towards aiding the 

charity in its work as an organization with a critically important 

mandate. Every watch Spinnaker builds with consideration 

of being intelligently and efficiently made to minimize waste and 

to upcycle and re-use componentry and parts wherever 

possible. the Spinnaker HASS Marine Conservation Society 

collaboration goes further by incorporating materials, 

colours and a design that draws directly from the natural colours 

of the aquatic world.

Anne Weinhold is the Corporate Fundraising Team Lead at the 

Marine Conservation Society, and she said: “We’re so pleased to be 

working alongside SPINNAKER on this watch collaboration 

which puts the ocean at its very heart. Our ocean is often 

forgotten, but without a healthy ocean, we cannot have a 

healthy planet. We hope these watches remind us of the 

incredible world under the surface of our seas and inspire 

people to get out and explore more of it.”

The Marine Conservation Society is a UK-based charity dedicated to education, advocacy and action to protect the ocean. Throughout the design of the watch and its packaging, the Spinnaker Hass 

is an operating, wearable reminder of the sustainability, long life, recyclability, and circular economy possible and necessary to preserve the health and integrity of the ocean.
