Cast off and out to the sea! The timeless fascination for sailing is widely acknowledged, usually also enhanced by the right sailing watch. But what makes a good sailing watch? We will show you sporty mens watches in the look of sailing watches by Tommy Hilfiger.
Sailing watches requirements
The ideal sailing watch should be provided with a compass, a GPS reception, a stopwatch for regattas and maybe even with a measuring tool for the air pressure on the sea level. The non-plus-ultra for every boat-lover who possess a berth exposed to tides would be a watch with a tide indication, as well as a temperature indication.
Sailing watches should usually be water-resistant up to 20 bars, so that they are reliable in a stormy sea or after an overturn, too. A steel strap with a safety clasp is by far quite indispensable. A leather strap doesn’t really suit a water sport watch. The strap can slip off because the leather gradually stretches. It also begins to smell bad, after many times it has been used in the water. The most important function is a timer for regattas, that counts backwards from the beginning of the race – which gets decided by the start.
A watch in the look of a sailing watch
We show you a sporty multi-functional watch in the look of a sailing watch, in which many settings are very professional and usually convenient for professional sailers.
The Tommy Hilfiger 1791476 has a silver robust stainless steel case. It features a blue water-repellent and durable silicon strap with two red and white marine stripes, in the typical sailing style, as well as its colours, of the brand Tommy Hilfiger.
The Tommy Hilfiger 1791476
The watch differs from a typical sailing watch, because it features only 5 bars. However, the watch is multifunctional and indicates hours, minutes, seconds, date, weekdays and a 24h display through its chronograph. There is no GPS reception, stopwatch or measuring tool for the air pressure. This Tommy Hilfiger is defined merely by its classy and sporty sailing look.
