The Mackinac 40mm
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.

ZERO MINUTES TO START
Also called a regatta timer, this unique chronographic function is designed specifically for sailboat racing.
Unlike power boats, yachts use the wind to get up to speed.
At the beginning of a regatta, flags and horns count down five, four, one, and zero minutes to start—and the competing yachts must cross the starting line at, but never before, their synchronized yacht timer.
