OE Series 2

The OE series 2 is a superb event timer aimed at novice level, with all the basic functionality required. This timer has the smallest display size out of the Optimum Time equestrian range and therefore has great wearability both in events and training.

Other features:

• Plastic case with integrated soft-touch PU Strap
• Heavy-Duty stainless steel buckle
• 26mm round display size
• Large 10mm digit height
• Information displayed on a single row

                                        

 

OE Series 3

This timer is called a jumbo watch because the watch face is much larger than the other series. This makes it easier for you to see the time during your event. The jumbo watches have an elastic wrist strap that is easy to fit over your jacket, base layer, or gloves.

Other features:

• Large 65mm overall plastic case

OE Series 14 R

The series 14 is a jumbo watch and has a slightly larger case than the OE3 timer. This timer has the same great features as the OE3 timer but with a few upgrades. Firstly, the screen has a higher spec with a dot matrix 3-row display, which changes to 1 row with massive numbers for the last 59 seconds to make the time more visible. Both Series 12 & Series 14 show real-time and along with the timer, in the same mode.

There is also a vibration alarm to coincide with the beep sound.

Another upgrade is that this timer is rechargeable giving extra power to include cooler features (such as vibration) and a very long life. The timer comes with a bespoke USB charger clamp for convenient charging.

 

Other features include:

• Large 68mm overall plastic case
• Round 36mm diameter display size
• Large 13mm digits in normal mode

• Options to start the watch early for horses difficult to get into the start box.

           

 

OE Series 12

The OE12 has the same features as the series 14 timer but as a wristwatch with a smaller bezel so you can choose which suits you best out of the two – just down to personal preference! It also comes with a soft silicone strap instead of an elasticated one. This timer comes in black, making it a sleek stealthy design suitable to wear with any outfit.
