Spinnaker X Second/Second 2026 Edition Watch – Crazy – SP-5195-11A

Spinnaker Fleuss 40 SP-5195-11A Crazy – seconde/seconde 2026 Edition Automatic Watch, 1,500 Pieces, 50 Phantoms, Ghost Ceramic Bezel, 10 ATM

seconde/seconde is one of the most credible voices in French-language watch media — a publication whose audience consists of people who know the difference between a Miyota 8215 and a Miyota series 9 and care about it, who treat watch design as a subject rather than a lifestyle accessory, who have opinions about exhibition case-backs and ceramic bezels based on actual knowledge of how they are made and what they are worth. When seconde/seconde puts its name on a watch, the French watch community pays attention, because the publication has a track record of using that credibility carefully rather than commercially.

The Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic SP-5195-11A Crazy is the 2026 edition of the collaboration between the two — and it is built around a concept that rewards the kind of audience both parties share: fifty phantoms hidden in one watch, and two ways to find them.

The Crazy — The Version That Shows Its Hand

Spinnaker describes the two variants of this collection as opposites of the same idea. The Quiet SP-5195-11B has a clean white dial that reveals nothing under normal light — all fifty phantoms are invisible until a UV torch (included in the box) brings them out. The Crazy SP-5195-11A makes the opposite choice. The blue, white, green and yellow phantoms are visible on the layered white dial in normal daylight, distributed across the dial surface in a composition that requires no special equipment and no particular conditions to appreciate. The Crazy hides nothing. It commits fully to being seen.

This is not the version for someone who wants to surprise people with a hidden detail. It is the version for someone who wants the dial to be interesting every time they look at it — the fifty phantoms shifting slightly depending on the light source and the viewing angle, the layered white dial creating depth that a flat printed surface would not achieve, the UV torch in the box available for those moments when they want to see whether the phantoms look different under ultraviolet than they do under ambient light. They do.

The Ghost Ceramic Bezel — A Structural Decision

The most significant design decision in the SP-5195 collection is not the dial — it is the bezel. The white ceramic bezel moulded into the silhouette of a ghost's robe does something that printed or applied decoration cannot: it changes the physical profile of the watch case. The irregular upper edge of the bezel, undulating in the way that a sheet-ghost's hem moves, makes the watch immediately recognisable from a distance — not by its colour or its dial, but by its shape. Ceramic is the correct material for this: harder than steel, scratch-resistant, and capable of holding the white tone across years of wear without the yellowing that PVD coatings can develop over time.

The 40 mm stainless steel case beneath the ceramic bezel maintains the Fleuss platform's established proportions — 12.5 mm thick, 20 mm bracelet width, the scale that the market has consistently responded to for daily-wear automatic watches. The ghost bezel makes the watch look unlike any other Spinnaker in the catalogue while keeping the dimensions that make it actually wearable.

Miyota Series 9 and Exhibition Case-Back

The Miyota series 9 automatic calibre is a step above the Miyota 8215 found in most Spinnaker automatics: the series 9 adds finishing improvements and brings the movement specification into a category that collectors at this price point are starting to expect from collaborations with credibility behind them. The exhibition case-back makes the movement visible from the reverse of the watch — which, in the context of a watch whose front dial rewards close attention, extends the principle of discovery to both faces. The front shows you fifty phantoms. The back shows you the mechanism that keeps them in motion.

The box sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment is convex on both faces, adding visual depth to the layered white dial and creating the impression that the phantoms exist within a dimensional space rather than on a flat surface. At 10 ATM / 100 metres, the water resistance places this firmly in the category of serious daily-wear watches — not a collector piece to be kept in a box, but a watch designed to go everywhere the wearer goes.

The Box — Unboxing as Part of the Experience

The SP-5195-11A ships with a complete package: the steel bracelet on the watch, plus two additional straps for different contexts, a UV torch for exploring the phantom layers that normal light cannot reveal, and a glass display dome for presenting the watch off the wrist. Spinnaker notes explicitly that the glass dome requires careful handling on unboxing and has produced a dedicated unboxing video — the dome is a genuine display object, not a decorative insert, and it is fragile enough to warrant the warning. The box is designed to be an experience, not a container.

1,500 Pieces, Launching Today

The Crazy is limited to 1,500 pieces — the larger of the two variants in the seconde/seconde 2026 Edition collection, against the Quiet's 850. Both launch on 16 October 2026, with priority access subscribers receiving a one-hour early window before the general public. One piece per variant per customer, two pieces maximum from the collection. No discount codes apply. The 1,500-piece figure is a global number across all retail channels, which makes the effective per-market availability considerably smaller than the headline suggests.
