A sea of style

A constant companion of sea lovers and the


world’s most prestigious yacht clubs, the


Yacht-Master embodies the very core values of


the sailing world and Rolex’s own philosophy.


First and foremost of these is the construction


of the Oyster case which has a caseband made


from a single block of metal, and is water-resi-


stant to 100 metres. It also sports the signature


Triplock crown and a screwdown caseback. In


the new Yacht-Master, however, the case has an


all-new 42mm diameter and is made from 18


carat white gold with a bi-directional rotating


bezel with a graduated matt black Cerachrom


disc. The movement is new too – the 3235 au-


tomatic calibre with central second and date.


All this adds up to a power reserve of approxi-


mately 70 hours. The new watches features


multiple Rolex patents, not least the Chronergy


escapement, the Parachrom blue hairspring and


the Paraflex shock protection system. As with
all of Rolex’s pro watches, the Yacht-Master
was designed to be extremely easy to read in all
kinds of light conditions – there is Chromalight
super–luminova treatment on both hands and
indices. The date is also very visible too, thanks
to a sapphire glass window with Cyclope lens at
3 o’clock.
The Oysterflex is both comfortable and secure
as it comprises flexible metal blades made from
a titanium and nickel alloy overmoulded with
high-performance black elastomer for superior
durability and toughness. It also includes the
famous Oysterlock safety clasp in white gold
complete with the Rolex Glidelock extension sy-
stem.As with all new-generation Rolex watches,
the Yacht-Master is Superlative Chronometer
officially certified which means it has passed
the incredibly strict tests carried out in the ma-
nufacture’s laboratories when the movement
has already been inserted into the case and fol-
lowing official Chronometer certification proce-
dures. The result is guaranteed precision in the
order of -2/+2 seconds per day, water-resistan-
ce, automatic winding and the power reserve.
