Wimbledon, Royal Ascot, Goodwood Festival of Speed—there's no shortage of classic UK events to get behind come the Spring/Summer season, and last week kicked things off with a great one: the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race. Or rather, the Chanel J12 Boat Race, as the luxury label's timepiece is the title sponsor and official timekeeping partner of the famed event for the second year running.
Taking to the Thames on Saturday 4th April, the Oxford and Cambridge rowing teams competed in the 197th edition of the Boat Race across a 4.25-mile stretch of the river. In the men's competition, Cambridge emerged victorious with a 3.5-length win, while Oxford won the women's race for the first time since 2016.
