History of the Yacht-Master

Rolex introduced the Yacht-Master in 1992, and the first reference 16628 was in yellow gold. Smaller sizes for slimmer wrists followed in 1994, and in 1999 the Rolesium version with platinum bezel. This makes the Yacht-Master the youngest of the major Rolex sports lines, designed from the outset to be more elegant than the Submariner or Sea-Dweller.

Yacht-Master 37, 40 and 42

The Yacht-Master 37 uses calibre 2236 with around 55 hours of power reserve and suits slim wrists. The Yacht-Master 40 and 42 are powered by calibre 3235 with around 70 hours of power reserve. The 42 mm version is available in yellow gold, white gold and RLX titanium, a particularly light material that Rolex uses for this watch.

Rolesium, Everose and Oysterflex

Rolesium is Rolex's name for the combination of Oystersteel and a platinum bezel, which looks understated and cool. Everose Rolesor combines Oystersteel with Everose gold, Rolex's rose gold alloy. The gold models mostly come on the Oysterflex, a bracelet with a metal core and elastomer coating that is comfortable and can also be worn in the water.

Yacht-Master II

The Rolex Yacht-Master II is the regatta chronograph of the line. It has a programmable countdown of up to ten minutes, which sailors use to count down the start of a regatta. The case measures 44 mm, and the mechanism behind it is one of the most complex in the Rolex range.

Yacht-Master or Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is the diver's watch with unidirectional bezel and 300 metres of water resistance. The Yacht-Master is made for life on deck, with 100 metres of water resistance, bidirectional bezel and more precious materials. If you are looking for a sporty Rolex that also suits dinner, the Yacht-Master is a good choice.
