Optimum Time Race Handheld Watch + Compass

Optimum Time Race Handheld Watch with Compass

Optimum Time - the specialist sports timing company - announces the arrival of a complete range of sailing watches to suit all needs and budgets.

The Optimum Time Race Handheld Watch + Compass is one of their new sailing range built around the success of the original 'Big Yellow Watch'.
