When a company built to keep perfect time joins the world’s greatest ocean adventure, you notice. NITE Watches is the official timekeeper of the Clipper 2025–26 Round the World Yacht Race – and has marked the moment with a bespoke ALPHA Z Clipper Race Special Edition, available to pre-order now from NITE’s website.

This isn’t about vanity. It’s about tools that endure. The partnership unites two outfits with the same plain-speaking demands: accuracy under pressure, toughness when things get rough, and design that refuses to fail when the hours – and the miles – pile up. NITE and the Clipper 2025-26 Race both specialise in doing the hard things well: training people from all walks of life to become ocean racers, and then setting them loose for eleven months of circumnavigation.

The Clipper 2025-26 Race departed Portsmouth, UK, on 31 August and will take crews through high seas, cramped watches and the kind of weather that separates kit from junk. Ten evenly matched teams are led by a professional Race Skipper and First Mate; every element of kit matters. A reliable watch is more than convenience out there – it’s a small, steady anchor for decisions, navigation and measured risk.

NITE’s ALPHA Z Clipper Race Special Edition 

NITE’s ALPHA Z Clipper Race Special Edition is a purposeful response to that requirement. Created to celebrate this unique partnership, the watch is available exclusively via NITE and can be pre-ordered for £590. It’s a piece made to be worn in serious conditions and bought by people who like objects that mean something: a keepsake of a race that trains ordinary people into sailors who have crossed oceans and kept going.

If you want to own an item that links you to the Clipper 2025-26 Race and a relentless appetite for challenge, this is the one to consider. The collaboration captures a shared ethos – endurance, precision and adventure – without any of the puff.
