The Frederique Constant<\/a> Regatta was one of the first watches released by the family-owned company. They had only been in business for a decade when the first model was seen. This Regatta watch arrived as part of their Yacht Master collection, a collection that still has a huge following today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This striking signature piece was created to act as a tribute. A tribute to the love for sailing, that co-founder of the brand, Peter Stas had. Today we are seeing the return of this iconic silhouette, in modern form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Return of an Icon; The Frederique Constant Regatta Yacht Timer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-two year on from the release of the Regatta, it is making it’s comeback, in 2019. A comeback that has been highly anticipated by fans of the brand, and watch collectors alike. Again, part of the new Yacht Timer collection, this is a modern incarnation of a classic. Aptly named, the Regatta (a sporting event consisting of a series of boat or yacht races.) comes with a built in timer that can be used to count down the critical 10 minutes before the sailing race begins. A fantastic feature that any sailing fan, or competitor will cherish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regatta racers are able to utilize the countdown feature to time their setup perfectly, allowing them to find the best starting position based on wind and other vessels. This is a crucial, tactical maneuver that demands extreme precision. This means that a precise instrument is required, which is where the Frederique Constant Regatta steps in. Providing a display that can be read at a glance, and provides an accurate reading, allowing full focus to be on the sails and line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
