Adding to this, Mr Niladri Mazumdar, Head – Sales & Marketing, Seiko Watch India said, “Seiko as a watch has always been known for it's 'classy active' look which embodies precision, hi-end technology for split second accuracy with a range of new distinctive styles."
"Seiko is a brand of substance, and when we link up with a Sport, our watches are not just inspired by the Sport but associated with it."
"Our watches are designed and manufactured keeping in mind the major demands of such high quality performance sports, but on top of this we have the actual Sailors and Formula 1 racers involved in the critical design process."
"SEIKO is the worldwide sponsor of 49er class sailing, a fast growing Olympic sailing class that is capturing the imagination of sailors all over the world. Our association with the sport of Sailing in India, is in tune with Seiko's Global Strategy”.
Hony Secretary General of YAI, Captain Ravi Nadkarni said, “Sailing a 49er class or any other racing yacht is a precision skill in which every wave, every gust of wind and every second is of vital importance to gain speed and time."
"This is most important for the precise preparation at the start of a race and during the course of the race to meet the trying conditions of the ocean. We hope Seiko's association with the Season Opening Regatta will bring in that skill for our sailors to be able to achieve excellence and explore the international sport arena."
"We are delighted that a brand like Seiko is supporting and promoting sailing which we believe has the potential to become one of the prominent sports in India”.
Seiko is proud to be hosting the Regatta under the burgee of Sea Cadet – Sailing, which promotes the sport of sailing amongst the Indian youth.
The demands of this Sport helps build character and provides the youth a rare opportunity to take to the seas and enjoy the thrills of this magnificent sport, which could become a part of the yearly calendar owned by Seiko.
