Introduced in 2007, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is a testament to Rolex’s maritime legacy. Designed specifically for professional sailors, its main feature is a regatta countdown for yacht racing starts. The watch symbolizes luxury and prestige, further emphasized by Rolex’s sponsorship of elite sailing events like the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Its connection to these events highlights its technical excellence and lasting popularity.
The Rolex Yacht-Master White Gold 116689 elegantly combines luxury with functionality. Crafted from 18K white gold, the 44mm case provides a durable yet sophisticated aesthetic.
Under a resilient sapphire crystal, the white dial is the epitome of classic style and displays the innovative regatta chronograph, which is crucial for yachting competitions. The dial doesn’t just tell time; it also glows with an exceptional, long-lasting blue luminance thanks to the advanced Chromalight technology on the hour markers and hands. This maximizes readability even in low-light conditions.
The bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel, crafted from platinum, adds a layer of functionality and opulence, ensuring the timepiece is as practical as it is visually striking.
Inside the case of the Yacht-Master 2, you’ll find the Perpetual calibre 4161. This in-house mechanical chronograph movement features a traversing column wheel and vertical clutch. This ensures an instantaneous and accurate start to the chronograph.
The movement’s oscillator is a marvel, featuring a large balance wheel with variable inertia regulated by gold Microstella nuts. This design and an adjustable traversing bridge provide exceptional shock protection. The blue Parachrom hairspring, crafted from a paramagnetic alloy, guarantees stability against temperature fluctuations, ensuring the watch’s impeccable timekeeping.
With over 360 parts, 44 jewels, and a vibration rate of 28,800 per hour, the calibre 4161 is a masterpiece of horological engineering. Its power reserve of 72 hours ensures the Yacht-Master White Gold remains operational during prolonged journeys.
