Product Information
Lightweight
Kilogram for kilogram of working load, BB and RT Orbit Blocks are the world's lightest. The unique orbital design allows the bearing to only be in the active areas of the floating sheave. This minimizes the mass of the inactive return race and hub.
Weight and bulk are further reduced in the different block configurations. The ball bearing single and becket block has a through-sheave becket arrangement. The result? The lowest weight possible.
Multi-sheave blocks have only single intermediate cheeks and an ultra-light and efficient head arrangement. This gives a 30% weight saving advantage over the nearest competitor. Other brands just link together their single blocks. This results in unnecessary double cheeks between each sheave, held together by a heavy steel channel across the top of the block.
Highest working load in its class
The orbital ball-bearing arrangement gives the largest possible bearing race diameter. This maximizes load performance. The proven Ronstan 2-stage bearing system features high compression grade acetal ball bearings and a secondary full-contact bearing. This gives minimum friction across the full working load range.
The floating sheave and bearing system is supported by a fiber-reinforced load frame. The design was computer modeled to be stress optimized. The DyneemaA Link is produced from FSE Robline SK75 fiber, which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, and provides the final connection from the block to the load point.

Applications
Mainsheet systems on dinghies, sportsboats and small keelboats to 9m (30ft)
Spinnaker sheets on dinghies, sportsboats and small keel boats to 9m (30ft)
Halyard, Vang and Backstay application on boats to 8m (26ft)
Control line applications on larger yachts
Mainsheet systems and spinnaker sheets on dinghies, catamarans, sportsboats and small keel boats to 9m (30ft)
RF55410 when paired with a RF56330B and a RF35101 lashed to the becket produces a powerful 8:1 mainsheet system for use on catamarans to 5.5m
(18ft). This can be increased to 9:1 by replacing the RF35101 with a RF35202

it looks fantastic. There is nothing humble about this watch
Color: A Gold
It is a steal for the money, it looks fantastic. There is nothing humble about this watch. It makes its presence known. I see people get sight of it, then look away and come back and take a second long look at it One thing I would change.. the hands are not easily seen because they blend too much with the back ground. I got used to that and does not bother me any. Louie Vazquez in San Antonio TX

DOA - doesn't work.
Color: A Gold
Love the looks of this watch but I cannot get it to work. I think that it is mechanical, but I wind it and it only runs for one to 10 minutes and sometimes not at all. Am I doing something wrong?

nice watch but expect what you pay for.
Color: A Gold, Color: A Gold
Pretty solid watch decent size face i prefer large face watches even with my small wrist. Its pretty good at staying synchronized. The case is pretty solid but closer inspection makes it look cheap, i still love though and it does get a lot of looks. The band is my really only big complaint it feels chintsy and cheap, the clasp spring fellout once but very simple to re-insert and if you have small wrist like me its definite resize. Other than that for the price its a cool mechanical watch.
