Posted on 5 March 2024 at 2:43 PM

As a lover or collector of luxury watches, what could be more fun than receiving a beautiful watch from the Netherlands? Because watches of international allure can be found not only in Switzerland and Germany, but also in the Netherlands.

If you are not yet familiar with this special watch brand, we would like to introduce you to the Dutch watch brand Van Speyk. Van Speyk is a watch brand that combines high quality, an extremely beautiful design and a piece of Dutch history.

The name Van Speyk comes from a national hero from Dutch history, Jan Carel van Speyk. This was a lieutenant in the Dutch navy at the time, nicknamed 'the terror of robbers'. Van Speyk was initially trained as a tailor, but ultimately turned out to be a sailor through and through. Van Speyk was active during several combat and trade missions and also managed to obtain the so-called 'knight's cross of the fourth class of the "Militaire Willemsorde".

On February 5, 1831, Van Speyk was in the port of Antwerp to examine ship loads when he got into trouble when a group of angry workers boarded his gunboat. Van Speyk refused to surrender and exploded the ship by throwing a lighted cigar into a barrel of gunpowder. With this he died a national hero. This combination of a piece of legendary Dutch history and national pride is exactly what the Van Speyk brand wanted to capture in the brand's collection of watches. Van Speyk has always had the ambition to produce high-quality luxury watches in a beautiful design, which at the same time remain affordable. This makes the Van Speyk brand accessible to a wide audience and therefore attractive to many lovers of beautiful, quality watches.

Within the Van Speyk watch collection there is room for both sturdy and robust models, as well as more subdued and classic designs. This means that enthusiasts with different personal preferences can go to this progressive brand. We would like to tell you more about two watches from the Van Speyk collection, with which we immediately demonstrate the diversity within the collection. The first model we would like to introduce you to is the Van Speyk Dutch Diver BL.15.SR. This is a watch suitable for the real sports enthusiast, with not only a sporty, but also a cool appearance. The watch is equipped with a robust watch strap made of stainless steel, which closes with a luxurious folding clasp. The watch case is also made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 12mm and a diameter of 42mm, which further emphasizes the robust character of this watch. The dial of this watch is blue in color and has both white and yellow accents. The watch is also equipped with very strong sapphire glass, which means that scratches or other damage to the glass will not easily occur. The Van Speyk Dutch Diver BL.15.SR is equipped with a high-quality automatic movement from the well-known brand Miyota. The watch is also waterproof up to 200 meters and also offers several nice extras. This special watch has a date display, second hand and luminous indicators. In addition, the watch is equipped with a screwed bottom and rotating bezel. In short, this is a very nice watch that will certainly appeal to many enthusiasts with its extensive list of advantages.

Another beautiful model from the Van Speyk collection is the Van Speyk Holland CW11.ZL. This is a nice example of a more subdued and classic model from the Van Speyk collection. The watch has a beautiful leather watch strap in black, which closes with a buckle. The watch case of this model is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 12 mm and a diameter of 42 mm. This watch also has sapphire glass. The dial of the watch is white in color, with a day/night indicator as a nice detail. Together with the relief accent on the dial, this makes this watch a real eye-catcher. This design is also equipped with a high-quality automatic movement. This watch also has a date display and second hand. The beautiful glass bottom ensures that you can actually see the movement in motion, especially for the true enthusiast.
