The Spinnaker Challenger Automatic Popeye “Anchor Arms” Limited Edition injects playful character into a serious dive-watch platform, pairing Spinnaker’s robust Challenger case with one of pop culture’s most recognizable icons. Inspired by Popeye’s iconic anchor-tattooed forearms, this limited series blends nostalgia, bold graphic elements, and real dive-watch credibility. Offered across three distinct variants, each version shares the same mechanical foundation while expressing the Popeye theme through unique colors, dial details, and strap configurations.

Built around a 42mm stainless-steel case, the Challenger wears with confident modern proportions, supported by a 51mm lug-to-lug, 13mm thickness, and 22mm lug width. A unidirectional dive bezel frames the dial, while a sapphire crystal protects the custom Popeye artwork and high-contrast markers beneath. With substantial water resistance suitable for diving and daily wear, strong Super-LumiNova on the hands and indices, and a choice of rubber strap or stainless-steel bracelet depending on variant, the Challenger Popeye remains every bit a capable tool watch despite its light-hearted design.

Powering the watch is a Japanese automatic movement, chosen for its durability, reliability, and ease of ownership. The classic three-hand layout with date keeps the watch practical for everyday use, while automatic winding delivers dependable mechanical performance without the need for batteries. Limited in production and rich in personality, the Challenger Automatic Popeye Edition is designed for collectors who want a real dive watch that doesn’t take itself too seriously—without sacrificing function or build quality.
