The Windward takes its design cues from the wind-direction instruments and vector field diagrams showing wind patterns. It seems obvious to say, but wind is hugely important when sailing, as where it comes from dictates the direction in which you can sail effectively.

A colour scheme of greys, white and the Solent signature yellow forms the Windward’s classic yet contemporary aesthetic and sits alongside the cardinal in beautiful contrast. 

The case design is a combination of various energy-dissipating angles and chamfers, inspired by lighthouses and ocean-furniture designed to withstand brutal environments. The slim, neat, polished case looks and feels robust - which is echoed by the subtle matte face of the crown.
