In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Nickelodeon’s iconic animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants, the esteemed British watch brand Spinnaker has introduced a limited-edition watch collection. This exclusive series prominently features beloved characters such as SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs on the watch faces.
The collection is inspired by Spinnaker’s renowned Hass Automatic model, with each watch dial reflecting the distinct color schemes of its respective character: vibrant yellow and aqua for SpongeBob, playful pink and purple for Patrick, sophisticated mint green and brown for Squidward, and an eye-catching pink and light blue for Mr. Krabs.
Among the unique details, a memorable SpongeBob quote is elegantly imprinted on the inner bezel: "You never really know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory."
