The Spirit Mark 2 sees Peter Speake-Marin revisit the popular Spirit Pioneer and redesign it from the ground up. The Mark 2 retains the distinctive identity of the Pioneer, but has a new movement, dial and case.
The Spirit Mark 2's three-dimensional, one-piece dial features refined numerals and hour markers in white Super-LumiNova that contrasts superbly against the light-absorbing matte black. The resulting indications are eminently legible and present a fresh, clean sophistication.
The Spirit Mark 2 has a far longer power reserve than the Pioneer – five days – thanks to a new unidirectional, automatic-winding movement.
The dial of the Spirit Mark 2 is beautifully framed by a hand finished circular grained bezel. This finishing enhances the casual, contemporary style for which the Spirit has become known, as does the slim 42mm stainless steel case. The case-back is solid and slightly domed – a combination that provides considerable strength and protection for the movement within.
On the case-back, the centrally engraved Speake-Marin ‘topping tool' motif catches the eye. However, it is the engraved inspirational rallying cry – “Fight, Love & Persevere” – that steals the attention, upholds the Spirit's name and confirms its credentials as the perfect talisman.
