Inspired by centuries-old Great Lakes Maritime history, the Mackinac is a truly one-of-a-kind automatic chronograph. Also referred to as a regatta timer, yachting chronograph, or sailing watch, the Mackinac features a yacht timer for the countdown at the start of a sailing race.
Limited to 500 units, the latest edition of the Mackinac features a unique 40mm square stainless steel case with an exhibition case back window that reveals the automatic SW511.bhc movement inside. The Bermuda blue dial pops with orange and off-white details and contrasts with the three-tone blue yacht timer sub dial. With a new quick-release stainless steel mesh bracelet and a 10 ATM rating, it’s the perfect naval companion for sport or leisure—whatever floats your boat.
ZERO MINUTES
TO START
Also called a regatta timer, this unique chronographic function is designed specifically for sailboat racing.
Unlike power boats, yachts use the wind to get up to speed.
At the beginning of a regatta, flags and horns count down five, four, one, and zero minutes to start—and the competing yachts must cross the starting line at, but never before, their synchronized yacht timer.
