The famous Formula 18 (F18) Sailing Americas Championship started on September 6th, 2021, at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club, California. However, when it comes to sailing, watch enthusiasts cannot help to stop thinking about the best-suited luxury watches to accompany. Luxury timepieces share a strong bond with the world of competitive sailing.
Many leading watch giants design timepieces exclusively for yacht racing and also sponsor professional teams and players. So while F18 Sailing Championship is taking place, why not take a quick look at some of the best regatta sailing watches ever produced.
However, it’s no surprise that luxury watches are worthy investment pieces as they tend to retain their value well over time. You can unlock the value of your asset anytime instantly and use the fund for any purpose. If you want to get access to some fast cash but are emotionally attached to your timepiece, pawnbroking is the best choice for you.
Get a short-term loan against your watch from any trusted pawnbrokers in London or near you and raise instant cash without any obligation.
The Best Sailing-Inspired Luxury Watches
- Rolex Yacht-Master II
Rolex designed the Yacht-Master II especially for boat racing, and it is the most popular purpose-built regatta timer available today. Unlike most regatta timers, the Yacht-Master II features a programmable countdown timer and a mechanical memory. Furthermore, it comes with fly-forward and flyback functionality that allows easy synchronisation with the official racing clock.
The Rolex Yacht-Master II debuted in solid 18ct gold. Later, Rolex added stainless steel and dual-tone Everose Rolesor versions to the collection. However, the most noteworthy fact about the Yacht-Master II is that the Ring Command bezel makes accessing the advanced functionality more straightforward.
The watch sports a 44mm stainless steel case and Oyster bracelet. Moreover, with a water-resistant ability of 100m, the Yacht-Master II Reference 116680 attests to the fact that it is the ultimate automatic regatta timer.
- Patek Philippe Nautilus
The Patek Philippe Nautilus has unquestionable ties to the sea. The legendary designer of the Nautilus, Gerald Genta, designed the timepiece keeping in mind the enthusiasm of the Stern family (the brand’s owners) about sailing.
Patek Philippe introduced the Nautilus in 1976 as a prominent stainless steel sports watch, measuring 42mm. It flaunted a minimalistic time and date dial. However, the watchmaker upgraded the collection by adding different metal options, case sizes & more.
The Patek Philippe Nautilus is today among the most coveted watches globally. Its demand is continually increasing.
- Omega Seamaster Diver 300M ETNZ
Omega has turned up with many special edition watches over the years to commemorate its association with the champion Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ). In 2015, the brand released the Seamaster Diver ETNZ for the world of competitive sailing. It offered sailing-inspired features and a regatta-style display. Moreover, the watch features the signature colours of the championship-winning team.
However, this special edition timepiece sports a grade 5 titanium case, a matte black ceramic bezel and a sand-blasted grade 5 titanium dial. The Seamaster Diver ETNZ edition also has many professional diver features like a helium escape valve and unidirectional bezel.
