Spinnaker Watches has officially announced the launch of its new collaborative timepiece, the Hull Automatic SpongeBob Limited Edition. Set to hit the market on February 21, this limited-edition watch celebrates the beloved characters of the popular animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. Pre-orders will commence on January 21, allowing fans to secure one of the rare 225 pieces worldwide.
The captivating design of the watch embraces the colorful universe of SpongeBob. Each watch is adorned with graphics and color schemes inspired by iconic characters from Bikini Bottom, including SpongeBob himself, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs. This vibrant homage aims to encapsulate the joyful essence of these beloved characters, reflecting their energetic and whimsical nature.
One of the standout features of the Hull Automatic SpongeBob Limited Edition watch is its innovative use of UV-reactive graphics. When exposed to UV light, hidden designs on the watch face are revealed, showcasing SpongeBob's cheerful demeanor, as if he were leaping from the depths of his animated world to greet the wearer. This feature not only adds an element of surprise but also immerses the wearer in the playful underwater universe.
“Imagination never runs out!” exclaimed Spinnaker as they unveiled their latest product. This statement captures the spirit of the brand and its desire to stay fresh and engaging by connecting timeless stories with contemporary audiences.
The previous collaboration with SpongeBob, released at the end of 2024, met with widespread acclaim and quickly sold out, creating a significant demand for these collectible pieces. Enthused by the response, Spinnaker decided to launch another exciting collaboration, ensuring fans have access to these unique timepieces.
Each watch is crafted with Spinnaker's renowned quality, featuring durable construction suitable for divers, with up to 200 meters of water resistance, making them not just stylish but also functional. The vintage-inspired cushion case design is distinctive and has appealed to watch enthusiasts, mirroring the iconic silhouette of SpongeBob himself.
Retailing at 68,200 yen (approximately $640), these limited-edition watches can be purchased exclusively through the Spinnaker official online store and select retailers, ensuring they remain accessible to enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The collaboration between Spinnaker and SpongeBob SquarePants emphasizes not just the timeless appeal of the animated series but also the modern consumer's desire for products with character and charm.
