A shared horizon

Facing the unpredictable

Whether pushing for speed in coastal regattas or showing resilience in offshore races, yachting demands unwavering precision at every moment. At the crossroads of competitive sport and the art of navigation, it combines strategic thinking, mastery of the elements and state-of-the-art technology. For nearly 70 years, Rolex has supported this discipline where every race is a lesson before the ocean. A crew’s triumph over the unpredictable.
