EKKIA (Ekia) 2025 Optimum Time OE Series 3 Equestrian Event
Product Overview
The EKKIA (Ekia) 2025 Optimum Time OE Series 3 Equestrian Event Watch OE391 is built for riders and event organizers who demand precision, durability, and clear visibility during competitive equestrian events. Designed specifically for timing disciplines like show jumping, cross-country, and dressage, this watch ensures accurate timekeeping with specialized features that support optimal performance tracking. Its large, high-contrast display and rugged construction make it ideal for outdoor use under demanding conditions. Whether you’re timing a jump-off or managing a multi-phase event, the OE3 delivers reliable functionality when every second counts.
Key Features
- Enhanced Count-Up Programming with Minute-by-Minute Beeps: The OE3 offers improved count-up functionality with audible beep signals every minute, helping riders and officials maintain pace without needing to constantly check the display. These alerts can be silenced if preferred, offering flexibility based on event rules or personal preference.
- 16mm Digit Display with Adjustable Viewing Angle: The single-row digital display features large 16mm digits for exceptional readability, even from a distance or at an angle. The adjustable viewing angle ensures the time remains visible whether mounted on a saddle, held in hand, or placed on a post—critical during fast-paced events.
- Lockdown Mode During Operation: To prevent accidental input during critical timing moments, only the start and stop buttons remain active while the timer is running. This safeguard minimizes errors and ensures uninterrupted performance tracking.
- Programmable Countdown with Alarm: Set custom countdown intervals with an automatic alarm that sounds when time reaches zero. Additional warning beeps activate during the final 30 seconds, providing clear audio cues for transitions or time limits.
- Shock-Resistant and Water-Resistant Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor equestrian environments, the watch features a shock-resistant ABS case and is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters), making it suitable for use in rain, mud, or near water obstacles.
- High-Temperature LCD Technology: The LCD screen is engineered to perform reliably in extreme heat and direct sunlight, resisting fading or distortion caused by UV exposure—ideal for summer competitions and open-field events.
- Elasticated Strap for Secure Fit: The adjustable elasticated strap ensures a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist or around equipment, staying in place during active movement without restricting circulation.

Important Notes
This watch is designed for equestrian and outdoor event use and should be handled with care to maintain water resistance integrity. Avoid pressing buttons underwater or exposing the device to solvents or extreme chemicals. The elasticated strap may require periodic adjustment for optimal fit. While the display is highly visible in bright conditions, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight at extreme angles may temporarily affect contrast. Always test alarm functions before critical use. The product includes the watch only; no additional accessories or mounting hardware are provided unless specified by the retailer. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for long-term care and battery replacement.
