Regatta Yachttimers

Welcome to my website www.regatta-yachttimers.com, which is dedicated to the history of regatta watches with mainly mechanical movements. Occasionally a regatta watch with a quartz movement will be described as well.
In the Brand-list you will find an overview of all the different brands and models I have been writing about so far.
You can contact me for corrections, additions or just a quick mail at mark@regatta-yachttimers.com or by using the Contact-page. Please do.
I hope you enjoy reading it!

Mark Reichardt.

I finished the Memosail 1988-2000 section. For now! I'm sure there is more to tell. If anybody has additional information, please do let me know.

2023.08.18 I added some text and pictures of the Merit Cup Regatta Classic watch by Memotime in the Memotime 1988-2000 section of the brandlist.

2022.08.20 I found a rare yachttimer watch made by Bulova, with a Valjoux 7757 movement. It is described in the Atlantic section.

2022.04.15 I added two pictures of the new Boldr Odyssey Regatta with an Admiral-blue dial and bezel, with Ice-blue subdials. Great looking version!!

2022.04.03 I added pictures of an Aquastar Tissot Regate caseback with an alternative Aquastar engraving. As the printed version.
