OnDeck – July 2019

THE SAILBOAT F50

The F50 is a revolutionary new concept in sailboat

racing. A showcase of cutting-edge technology

developed over the past 10 years. Powered by a

24-metre wingsail and flying above the water on

hydrofoils, the F50 marks a huge step forward.

The new upgrades are expected to produce a 15

percent performance gain across most racing

conditions compared to the AC50 class of 2017. The

F50 is predicted to exceed 50 knots of boat speed.

THE WATCH

OYSTER PERPETUAL

YACHT-MASTER 42

Yacht-Master sailing watches are recognizable

thanks to their distinctive bidirectional rotatable

bezel with a raised 60-minute graduation. The

Yacht-Master 42 is fitted with a Cerachrom insert in

matt black ceramic that perfectly complements its

black lacquer dial. Created from 18 ct white gold,

this new watch heralds the arrival of this precious

metal on a Yacht-Master model. The light reflections

on the case sides and lugs highlight the profile

of the Oyster case. Like all Rolex Professional

watches, the Yacht-Master 42 offers exceptional

legibility in all circumstances, especially in the

dark, thanks to its Chromalight display. The

broad hands and hour markers are filled with a

luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.

This new model is equipped with calibre 3235 – at

the forefront of watchmaking technology – a first

for the Yacht-Master range. Like all Rolex watches,

the Yacht-Master 42 carries the Superlative

Chronometer certification which ensures excellent

performance on the wrist.
