Highly resistant and


durable
The Yacht-Master’s new Oysterflex bracelet,
developed by Rolex and patented, offers a sporty
alternative to metal bracelets. The bracelet
attaches to the watch case and the Oysterlock
safety clasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy
metal blade.

The blade is overmoulded with high-performance


black elastomer which is particularly resistant to
environmental effects, very durable and perfectly
inert for the wearer of the watch. For enhanced
comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is
equipped with a patented longitudinal cushion
system that stabilizes the watch on the wrist and
fitted with an 18 ct yellow gold Oysterlock safety
clasp. It also features the Rolex Glidelock
extension system, designed by the brand and
patented. This inventive toothed mechanism,
integrated beneath the clasp, allows fine
adjustment of the bracelet length by some 15 mm
in increments of approximately 2.5 mm, without
the use of tools.

Commitment to
excellence
By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has
the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18
ct gold alloys. According to the proportion
of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added,
different types of 18 ct gold are obtained: yellow,
pink or white.

They are made with only the purest metals and


meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory
with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is
formed and shaped with the same painstaking
attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to
excellence begins at the source.

Timing the distance


The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable
60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from
precious metals or fitted with a Cerachrom insert
in high-tech ceramic. 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.

Exceptional legibility
Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-
Master 42 offers exceptional legibility in all
circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks
to its Chromalight display.

The broad hands and hour markers in simple


shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled
with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting
glow.
