What's my wrist-wear choice for today?
My Flavor Of The Day

Friday has me taking the Hull - California out for another spin today. And you can certainly see why, as this dial is simply captivating. When I first laid eyes on the heavily textured dial, my first thought was that the dial reminded me a lot of the surface of Lava. My second thought, this timepiece would look magnificent accessorized with Lava stone beads; I was right on both accounts.
The Hull - California is definitely the best effort from Spinnaker, in terms of dialwork and presentation. The applied, California-Style index markers is just the cherry on top, that gives this dial incredible depth. The idea for Spinnaker to put all of this dial goodness into more of a sport / tactical package, with slate gray, frosted case, and rubber components incorporated within the bezel and strap, was spot on!
Went with my initial thought, and paired this cushioned-case beauty today, with a larger millimeter, Lava stone bracelet, created by Aurum Brothers, which provides a very nice complementary look.
