Product Description

The ClearStart™ 40mm Sailing Watch in sleek black combines cutting-edge race functions with bold, stylish design, making it the perfect companion for competitive sailors and maritime enthusiasts alike.

Advanced Race Functionality for Competitive Sailing

The ClearStart™ sailing watch from Ronstan is the most popular race timer on the market, now enhanced with bold styling and true sailing-specific features. Designed with input from world-class sailors, it offers large buttons, easily readable displays, and intuitive programming tailored for racing conditions. Gain a competitive edge with ClearStart™'s precise and reliable timing capabilities.

Large Quick View Displays

Experience effortless readability with oversized digit displays. The compact 40mm face features impressive 10mm (3/8”) digits, ensuring you can quickly glance at the time even in challenging conditions.

Race Sequence Resynchronisation

Synchronize your watch with the official race start sequence seamlessly using the SYNC function. If your countdown starts later than intended, a simple button press allows you to adjust by dropping down to the next minute, maintaining perfect sync with the race timing.

Pre-programmed Race Sequence Sounds

Stay informed without looking at your watch. ClearStart™ offers intuitive sound signals that indicate your position in the start sequence. It comes pre-programmed with World Sailing 5-4-1-0 and match racing start sequences, and users can customize additional countdown sequences. Optionally, sound signals can be disabled.

Flexible Sequence Completion

Choose how the watch behaves at the end of a race sequence. Set it to auto-repeat the countdown for quick restarts or switch to counting up to monitor elapsed race time.

Multi-Line Display with Real Time

No need to toggle between modes. The multi-line display simultaneously shows the countdown and the current time, allowing you to keep track of both without switching views.

Everyday Functionality Meets Marine Durability

Beyond racing, the ClearStart™ is designed for everyday use. Standard features include customizable time formats (12 or 24-hour), date display options (day/month or month/day), daily alarms, and a chronograph for precise time measurements. Whether you're navigating the seas or going about your daily routine, this watch adapts to your lifestyle.

Illuminated for Night Visibility

The luminescent electroluminescent backlight ensures easy readability in low-light conditions. Activate the backlight temporarily for a quick view without draining the battery.

Built to Withstand the Elements

ClearStart™ watches are water resistant up to 5 ATM (50m/150ft) and highly shock resistant, making them ideal for the demanding environment of competitive sailing. The reinforced polycarbonate case and rugged fiber-reinforced resin housing provide durability, while the super-comfortable silicone band ensures a secure fit.
