With specters of ghosts and goblins on the mind, Spinnaker has teamed up with artist Romaric Amdré on its 2024 special release. André, known for seconde/seconde/, has become famous within the watch community for his unique approach to changing the watch’s seconds hand. A follow-up to their popular Fifty Phantoms and inspired by radioactive warning signs and a ghoulish spirit, the new Spinnaker x seconde/seconde/ Fleuss 40 Automatic lives up to its phantasmic name. 

The Phantom is built on Spinnaker’s Fleuss 40 Automatic, a heritage-themed diver featuring a 40mm stainless case that is water resistant to 150 meters. The Fleuss 40’s bezel is in Acrylic, a direct influence from the watches of the 1950s and 1960s that inspired the Fleuss. The new Phantom is available in two variants, the Classic featuring fifty different lume-filled ghosts across the dial while the No-App — that is, “no apparitions” – features the special release’s ghost motif on its lume-filled bezel insert instead. Both variants are equipped with purple rubber and leather straps, neatly matching the bezel insert. As an added bonus, included is a complimentary hat with special lumed characters.

Powering the Fleuss 40 Automatic Phantom is the venerable Miyota 9039, a Japanese-made automatic movement fast becoming one of the most popular calibers among brands at this price point. The 9039 features 24 jewels, hacking, hand-winding, a 41-hour power reserve, and a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour.
