Inspired by centuries-old Great Lakes Maritime history, the Mackinac is a truly one-of-a-kind automatic chronograph. Also referred to as a regatta timer, yachting chronograph, or sailing watch, the Mackinac features a yacht timer for the countdown at the start of a sailing race.
Limited to 500 units, the latest edition of the Mackinac features a unique 40mm square stainless steel case with an exhibition case back window that reveals the automatic SW511.bhc movement inside. The Bermuda blue dial pops with orange and off-white details and contrasts with the three-tone blue yacht timer sub dial. With a new quick-release stainless steel mesh bracelet and a 10 ATM rating, it’s the perfect naval companion for sport or leisure—whatever floats your boat.
Established by Detroit’s historic Bayview Yacht club, the days-long Port Huron to Mackinac Island regatta is one of the longest and most grueling freshwater
races in the world.
Named for this legendary competition, the Shinola Mackinac is our first watch with automatic, single-eye chronograph yacht-timer functionality. It’s a precision instrument designed to be passed on for generations—just like the tradition
that inspires it.
