Ronstan RF4053A Clear Start Sailing Stainless Steel Watch Canvas Band

Innovative Race Functions with Bold New Styling

The most popular sailing watch in the world just got better. The
Ronstan RF4053A Clear Start Sailing Stainless Steel Watch
Canvas Band features bold new styling and true sailing
functionality. Besides the fresh new look it is also designed with
large buttons, easy to read displays and advanced intuitive
programming specifically useful for the racing sailor. Developed
with input from some of the world’s top sailors, this is sure to
set the standard for years to come. If you’re looking for a simple
competitive edge, the difference is Clear Start.

Large Quick View Displays
The entire Clear Start range features oversized digit displays for
easy viewing. The Ronstan RF4053A Clear Start Sailing
Stainless Steel Watch displays 13mm (1/2″) digits, which
can be quickly viewed at a glance without taking your hand off the
helm to read.

Race Sequence Resynchronisation
All racing sailors know how hard it can be to get the watch going
at the exact second the start sequence is commenced. With the handy
SYNC function, you can quickly resynchronise the Clear Start to the
official race time. A simple press of a button allows you to drop
down to the next minute, allowing you to get your starting sequence
back in perfect SYNC at the next opportunity.

Pre-programmed Race Sequence Sounds
The intuitive Clear Start sound signals let you know exactly where
you are in the start sequence without looking at the display.
Pre-programmed with ISAF 5-4-1-0 and Match Racing start sequences,
it can also be programmed for other countdown sequences by the
user. Sound signals can be turned off if desired.

End of Sequence – Countdown or Count Up
Depending on the user’s preference, this can be set up to auto
repeat the countdown at the end of the sequence for general recall
restarts, or to start counting up to track elapsed time.

Multi-line Display with Real Time
No need to switch between countdown and time modes because the
actual time is displayed below the countdown time on the new
multi-line Clear Start display.

Bold and Functional Styling
Redesigned for a new generation, the Clear Start range offers clean
modern styling without sacrificing usability. Available in
attractive colour combinations that can be worn anywhere, the
Ronstan RF4053A Clear Start Sailing Stainless Steel Watch
Canvas Band features smooth edges so lines will not get
caught in the heat of battle.

Daily Life Functionality
From waking up for work to working out, the Clear Start range is
also great for everyday activities. Standard modes include 12 or 24
hour time format, date in day/month or month/day format.

Luminescent Backlight
Bright, full-face electroluminescent backlighting is easy to read
at night and can be turned on temporarily for a quick view.

Water and Shock Resistant
Designed to survive the rigours of competitive sailing, Clear Start
watches and timers are water resistant to up to 50m (150ft) and
highly shock resistant.
