YACHT-MASTER 40

YACHT-MASTER 40
OYSTER, 40 MM, OYSTERSTEEL AND PLATINUM

The Rolex Yacht-Master and Yacht-Master II models embody the spirit of the sailor.
Inspired by the rich heritage that has bound Rolex to the world of sailing since the
1950s, the Yacht-Master blends function and style, while the Yacht-Master II brings
together the finest in Rolex technology to create a regatta chronograph built for
yachting competition.
ROLESIUM
Many Rolex watches are available with the now-legendary
combination of yellow, white or Everose gold and steel known as
Rolesor, but Rolesium is a creation specific to the Yacht-Master.
While the case and bracelet are in rugged Oystersteel, the bezel
of the Rolesium versions is made of 950 platinum, imparting a
silvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity for an unmistakable
sense of luxury.

THE OYSTER BRACELET


The Yacht-Master’s new Oysterflex bracelet, developed and
patented by Rolex, offers a sporty alternative to metal bracelets. DARK RHODIUM
The bracelet attaches to the watch case and the Oysterlock DIAL
safety clasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade.
The blade is overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch,
which is particularly resistant to environmental effects, very the feature most responsible for its identity and
durable and perfectly inert for the wearer of the watch. For readability. Characterised by hour markers
enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing,
equipped with a patented longitudinal cushion system that every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured
stabilizes the watch on the wrist and fitted with an 18 ct Everose in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
gold Oysterlock safety clasp that prevents accidental opening.
BIDIRECTIONAL ROTATABLE
BEZEL
The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated
bezel is made of precious materials. The raised polished numerals
and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted
background. This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to
calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also
a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

3235 MOVEMENT
The calibre 3235 is a new-generation movement entirely developed
and manufactured by Rolex. This self-winding mechanical
movement is at the forefront of the art of watchmaking. A
consummate demonstration of Rolex technology, with 14 patents, it
offers fundamental gains in terms of precision, power reserve,
resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, convenience and
reliability. It incorporates the new Chronergy escapement patented
by Rolex, which combines high energy efficiency with great
dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also insensitive to
magnetic interference.
