The Rolex Yacht-Master II is a specialized luxury sports watch designed for yacht racing. It was first unveiled in 2007 and released in 2010. Despite being a polarizing model due to its large size and bold design, it is known for its technical complexity and innovative features.
Here are some key aspects of the Yacht-Master II:
- Regatta Timer: The most distinctive feature is its programmable countdown mechanism with mechanical memory, designed for timing the starting sequence of a regatta. This allows sailors to accurately time their maneuvers and synchronize with the official race clock.
- The bezel is directly linked to the internal movement and acts as a key to engage and set the countdown timer.
- Movement: The watch is powered by Rolex's in-house caliber 4161 (or 4160 in earlier models), a self-winding mechanical movement with a 72-hour power reserve. This movement is known for its precision and reliability.
- Case Size: The Yacht-Master II has a 44mm case, making it one of Rolex's larger watches.
- Materials: It is available in various materials, including stainless steel, yellow gold, white gold, and Everose Rolesor (a combination of steel and Everose gold).
- Dial: All models feature a clean white dial with legible hour markers and hands, enhancing readability during maritime activities.
- Water Resistance: It is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet), suitable for water activities.
- Discontinuation: The entire Yacht-Master II collection was discontinued in April 2024.
