The Optimum Time Series 14 Rechargeable Sailing Watch is the ultimate in versatile watches for sailing racers with the added convenience of recharging via the included USB cable and a dual vibration/beep alarm system.

This big, big watch can be worn conventionally on the wrist using the elasticated strap so that you can choose to position it next to the skin or over a sleeve and/or a glove. Used in this way, the size of the data display will need only a glance away from the course of the boat to read, no matter the size of the swell.

But when it suits the occasion, the display of the Optimum Time Series 14 Rechargeable Sailing Watch is of sufficient size to be effectively mounted on a boom or a mast either using the elastic strap or else the mounting bracket that is included with this watch.

This is a watch whose design reflects the years of experience OT have with producing sailing watches. So, for instance, the buttons are well spaced all around the outer edge so that they can be accurately selected even when the boat is cutting through choppy waters and even when the user is wearing gloves.

The sailing-specific timing functions build on Optimum Time’s previous sailing watch pedigree and include not only their own invention the Sync button for recovering timing from a missed race gun but also the option of timing beeps and/or vibration alerts to let you suit the conditions and your preference.
