49er and 29erXX Associations

49er class

29erxx class

The Seiko Velatura collection was developed in consultation with some of the world’s leading sailors. This consultation continues through Seiko’s partnerships with the International 49er and 29erXX classes. These two classes are the fastest and most dynamic in international skiff racing, and Seiko proudly supports them as their Timing Partner.
