Well, I saw the watches during the Race itself at the reception pictured...
But, as an old Oxford Boat Race Blue, I wasn't too sure if I could deign to wear a watch that had Cambridge Blue on it!!!! All Dark Blue maybe. Light Blue induce? H'mmm...... The idea, of course, is something of which I wholeheartedly approve!
JEANRICHARD colours the Aquascope Blue! A Boat Race watch!
It is a quintessentially English sporting event. In the modern world it makes hardly any sense at all: a private duel between two universities that has continued, with the occasional World War interruption for 185 years. This year it was the 160th running...
Excellent report
And a great history lesson. It is an event buried deep in my childhood memories when I lived by the River Thames. I actually really like the watch although I could do without BNY Mellon written on the dial. But to be honest, as you say this is a quintesse...
I still do live by the River Thames! And hence, still watch
the boats go by. I disagree, I think the watch would look good with the standard Hackett attire, as well as Boat Race kit! Glad it brought back good memories. Andrew H
I saw quite positively impressed by the Aquascope.
Especialy the blue dialed one. If only it didn't have a date... ;) Best, and thanks for the report, Andrew. Nicolas

I am sorry I did not meet you there! Next time, please let
me know by PM. I rowed with Cambridge and hence the shots of the watch are all with the only colour blue that matters! Andrew H
Thats pretty much the way it goes! It is agony not crossing first...
after months of training and living for nothing else! THanks ANdrew H
Thank you for the report, Andrew !
I must say that I have a very positive impression of the Aquascope! :) Best Blomman
