30th Rolex Middle Sea Race hosted by Royal Malta Yacht Club

Dating from 1574, the venue for the prize giving of the 30th Rolex Middle Sea Race was built by the Knights of St John as a hospital to care for its sick and injured brethren. The Royal Malta Yacht Club hosted its deserved guests in this medieval vault and divided up the spoils from a truly tremendous race.


The prize giving ceremony at the end of this 606 nautical mile adventure is always emotional. One last chance for the sailors to recount tales from the race track before returning home, a last chance for the Royal Yacht Club members to say thank you to the international contingent that help set this race apart from others of its kind. 


Top prize of the event is the Rolex Middle Sea Race Trophy and Rolex Yacht-master Chronometer for finishing first overall under IRC Handicap.

Malta is an island that for centuries has enjoyed a significance out of proportion to its size. Each year, the Royal Malta Yacht Club organises a race that punches well above the club's apparent weight. This year no less than others. Former British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, perhaps encapsulated Malta and its spirit best when describing it as “that tiny rock of history and romance.” Such a sentiment could equally apply to the Rolex Middle Sea Race, which has plenty of both. 


The Rolex Middle Sea Race will start from Grand Harbour on Saturday, 23 October 2010.

See you in Sydney for Rolex 2010 Yacth Race!

The best wacth or the best marketing for a Swiss watch? No question that Rolex is the most popular luxury swiss watch. The marketing campaign related to achievements and linked with worldwide famous sport players are so strong that give to this brand a special charm. 
That's a good Rolex advertising of the classic model Explorer I, with a piano song theme. by Lang Lang, in fact "A Crown for Every Achievement."




The classic design of the Rolex Explorer I have more than 6 decades and still atractive. Some improvement was made by Rolex in the shapyre glass and bracelet only. But recently, Rolex Bamford Watch department and fragment design has worked to create a new Oyster Perpetual Explorer watch. This new custom Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer watch has been colored in all Black with the exception of the 3, 6, and 9 markers, the second hand, and the fragment logo on the face of the watch which are colored in an Aqua Blue color, no big changes in the original design, but now a black and blue "fashion".

What hour is it?
