”Windseeker was designed to be a sleek and classy timepiece, perfect for both sports and everyday wear. The dial is the centerpiece of the design, featuring subtle details such as a sunburst finished inner dial and textured outer ring.
The inner dial features a curved line pattern, reminiscent of the curvature of vintage sailing yacht teak decks.”

Hands-on: The Tusenö Windseeker, A Serious All-Rounder Watch at a Fair Price
Fully equipped, well finished and good looking, the Windseeker makes an impression.
HANDS-ON: The Tusenö Windseeker is a handsome watch with 1970s swagger
With slightly bowed and mirrored panels as the foundation of the dial, the Tusenö Windseeker backs up its name by evoking the deck of a timber sailboat. This kind of reference to a Riviera lifestyle is right at home within the Windseeker, managing to ooze a level of luxury well beyond its price tag.
Hands-On With The Handsome Tusenö Windseeker
All in all, I believe that the Tusenö Windseeker strikes the perfect balance between looks and specs to be a great GADA watch.
The dial is without a doubt the defining feature of Windseeker, with its curved vertical lines inspired by the teak decks of classic sailing yachts for a unique and distinctive look.
The dial is divided into an inner and outer section, each with a different finish: the inner section boasts a sunburst finish, while the outer section, displaying the minute markings, has a grainy texture. To enhance the sporty aesthetic of the watch, the model name is presented in a contrasting color.
The applied indices are filled with BGW9 Swiss SuperLumiNova, providing a blue glow in the dark. The indices are expertly crafted with a brushed finish on top and polished chamfers and sides, creating a stunning reflection when light hits the dial. In keeping with Tusenö's minimalist style, text and markings on the dial are kept to a minimum.
Windseeker is available in five colors: black, blue, silver and two more colourful options – orange and green.
Windseeker boasts the, according to us, perfect dimensions, measuring 39mm in diameter, 47mm between the lugs, and a slim 10.5mm thickness.
The bezel is fixed and features a vertically brushed finish with a polished chamfer that adds depth and dimension. The thin bezel combined with an inner rehaut gives the watch a striking presence on the wrist.
The bracelet is modeled after the popular Shellback design, but with polished sides and chamfers for a touch of sophistication. The bracelet features a slim folding butterfly-clasp, a set of half-links and each link is fully articulating, ensuring the perfect fit on any wrist.
The case features a slim, flat sapphire crystal with an inner AR-coating for scratch resistance, while minimizing glare. The side of the case and chamfers on the lugs are polished, while the top of the lugs are brushed for a visually striking effect.
To keep the watch as thin and clean as possible, we decided to go with a sapphire crystal caseback.
Windseeker is water resistant to 100 meters.
The hands in Windseeker are a new development, featuring our modern, thin take on the classic sword hand. Both the hour and minute hands are designed with a mountain shape that reflects light in a captivating way.
The tip of the seconds hand is finished with a contrasting color that complements the color of the model name, adding an extra touch of elegance to the watch. Like the indices, the hands are also filled with BGW9 Swiss SuperLumiNova, ensuring optimal visibility in low-light conditions.
Windseeker is powered by the Swiss Sellita SW200 movement, ensuring ease of use, quality, and reliability.
The SW200 movement features 28,800 BPH, providing high precision and accuracy. The updated 41-hour power reserve ensures that the watch remains functional for extended periods without winding. The hacking feature allows for precise time-setting by stopping the second hand, making it easy to synchronize the watch with an accurate time source. Overall, SW200 is a reliable, robust, and precise movement, making it the perfect fit for Windseeker.
