Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a sailing watch?

A sailing watch stands as a beacon of precision, designed specifically for the challenges and requirements of the sailing world. It goes beyond mere water resistance, embodying features such as a race timer for precise countdowns, which is crucial for timing the start of regattas. The robustness of these watches ensures they can withstand the dynamic conditions at sea, making them indispensable for sailors who demand reliability and precision. With models like the Rolex Yacht Master II, we offer a watch that is not just an instrument but a testament to the sailor's spirit, promising accuracy and sophistication on every voyage.

Are there options for both men's and women's sailing watches at CJ Charles?

Our collection, crafted with precision and designed to withstand the rigors of yachting, represents the perfect timepieces for the modern sailor. Enthusiasts can immerse themselves in a world of luxury and adventure, discovering exceptional sailor watches that meet the unique tastes and requirements of every individual. Whether embarking on a voyage of timeless sophistication, engaging in yacht match racing, or attending the Admiral's Cup, CJ Charles has meticulously curated a sailing watch collection designed to elevate your experience.

What is the difference between a sailing chronograph and a dive watch?

While both sailing chronographs and dive watches are designed for water-based activities, they serve distinct purposes. A sailing chronograph, with features like race timers and regatta countdowns, is tailored for the competitive and precise nature of sailing races. It's an essential tool for sailors needing to measure short periods of time with accuracy. A dive watch, on the other hand, emphasizes water resistance and durability, designed primarily for underwater activities. It typically features a unidirectional rotating bezel for tracking dive times. While a dive watch offers resilience and reliability beneath the waves, a sailing chronograph provides the precision and functionality required on the water's surface, making it an indispensable companion for sailing enthusiasts venturing into the realm of nautical watches. 

Does the movement matter in nautical watches?

Absolutely, the movement within a nautical watch is paramount, serving as the core that powers its precision, resilience, and functionality. At CJ Charles, where adventure meets luxury, we recognize that the essence of a sailing journey is not only about navigating through the vast, unpredictable seas but also ensuring that every tool and instrument you rely upon embodies reliability and precision. The movement of a sailing or nautical watch is a critical factor that significantly impacts its performance and overall experience on the water.

Mechanical movements are prized for their exquisite craftsmanship and the intricate assembly of their components, offering a tangible connection to the rich heritage of sailing. These movements resonate with enthusiasts who cherish the art of traditional watchmaking and its contribution to the nautical adventure, providing a sophisticated edge to their maritime exploits.

Quartz movements, known for their accuracy and dependability, are tailored for sailors who place a premium on functionality and practicality. With minimal maintenance required, quartz watches stand as beacons of consistency, essential for those who demand unwavering precision from their nautical instruments.
