The Yacht-Master, presented for the first time from
home Rolex in 1992, has always been designed for use in sports, unlike the Yacht-Master
II introduced last year, which has some features like the countdown, which
is essential during the regattas.
This new Yacht-Master thus provides updates with the
movement that is on the aesthetic side, always ensuring pinpoint accuracy and a
good compromise between comfort and sportiness, as before mentioned.

As for updates, especially one starts from a new concept of
bidirectional rotation of the ring now, in fact, is based on a toothed wheel to
120 positions and a spring triangle, offering a pair of constant rotation in
both directions rotator. The ring is made entirely of platinum 950, with
polished embossed numbers and graduations on a frosted background.
The new dial is also inspired by the colors of the sea, with
chrome-plated hands and indices, also coated with a luminescent material for
optimum reading in the dark and in low light conditions. The watch is equipped
with the caliber 3135, automatic-winding movement.
The Oyster case with a diameter of 40 mm, finally, is
obtained from a single block of 904L steel.
