Staying on course

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in 18 ct yellow gold with a black dial and an Oysterflex bracelet.

The oysterflex bracelet, 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.

18 ct yellow gold

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.

Bidirectional Rotatable Bezel

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.

Testimonials

Nathaniel g..

"I had wanted a Yacht-Master for as long as I could remember, but could never justify the high price of buying new. Once I realized that buying pre-owned might be a smarter option, I searched around the internet, but only Bob's Watches made me feel comfortable with making such a large purchase online. I understood their business model, and past customers' reviews were very positive. The prices were competitive as well, and rivaled those of less-trustworthy dealers. Once I made my choice, there was a slight hiccup in the process to wire funds, but when I called in, the problem was quickly resolved.

I received my watch a few days later, and it looked stunning. When the site says "mint condition," it means it! Bob's was also able to tell me when the watch was last serviced, which (in combination with the one-year warranty) gives me peace-of-mind. As I look to expand my collection of watches, I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer of Bob's Watches."

Review originally published on Trustpilot

"I have been shopping for the Rolex Yachtmaster for the better part of a year. I visited multiple jewelers & brokers in my area. Either they were of poor condition or over priced. Then I found Bobs Watches. The staff was expeditious and courteous. They sent me new photos of the watch upon request with no hesitation. The service, price, and condition of the watch was without compare. I am now a lifelong customer of Bobs Watches, I cannot imagine buying from any other source."

The Rolex Yacht-Master II, Four Ways

The Rolex Yacht-Master II

Perhaps one of Rolex’s most polarizing models to date, the Yacht-Master II is big, brash, and mechanically complex. There are those that love them and those that argue that the Yacht-Master II is the most un-Rolex of all Rolex watches. However, for those that do appreciate the modern size and design of the Rolex Yacht-Master II, there are plenty of versions to choose from. In fact, the Yacht-Master II is a Rolex collection that includes  all the metals used by the brand–stainless steel, yellow gold, white gold, Everose gold, and platinum. Let’s have a look at the four versions of the Rolex Yacht-Master II.

Stainless Steel Rolex Yacht-Master II 116680

Stainless Steel Yacht-Master II 116680

The most robust and affordable of the collection is, of course, the full stainless steel Yacht-Master II ref. 116680 . Sporting a 44 mm Oyster Case, the Yacht-Master II is one of Rolex’s largest watches (only the Deepsea is bigger thanks to its thickness) and it comes equipped with an Oyster bracelet.

Contrasting with the cool tones of the steel case and bracelet is the Yacht-Master II ref. 116680’s vibrant blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel, which matches the blue details on the information-packed dial. The Yacht-Master II offers a very niche complication targeted towards competitive sailors. Thanks to the Caliber 4161, the Yacht-Master flaunts a regatta chronograph complete with a mechanical memory (up to 10 mins).

Two-Tone Rolex Yacht-Master II 116681

Two-tone Yacht-Master II 116681

If you’re a fan of two-tone Rolex sports watches, then there’s the stainless steel and gold Yacht-Master II ref. 116681. However, rather than using the more classic yellow gold, the Yacht-Master ref. 116681 pairs Everose gold with steel. Everose is Rolex’s patented rose gold alloy that the brand debut in 2005. Fashioned from a proprietary formula, Everose not only offers a beautiful luster but it promises to not fade over time.

On the Yacht-Master II ref. 116681, the Everose details are plentiful from the winding crown to the chronograph pushers to the center links on the Oyster bracelet to the bezel. The bezel insert is the same bright blue Cerachrom one, this time featuring Everose gold filled numerals. The dial also includes Everose gold touches, such as the Everose gold surrounds on the hour markers and the running seconds subdial.

Yellow Gold Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688

Yellow Gold Yacht-Master II 116688

You’d be hardpressed to find a luxury watch company that makes a better solid gold watch than Rolex . And the yellow gold Yacht-Master II ref. 116688 is no exception. Built almost entirely in 18k yellow gold–except for that signature blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel–the Yacht-Master II 116688 is a status watch that commands attention wherever it goes.

In fact, due to its look, size, heft, and price tag, the yellow gold Yacht-Master II ref. 116688 is a favorite watch of celebrities and professional athletes. We’ve spotted actor Mark Wahlberg, MMA fighter Conor McGregor, rapper Drake, and other wearing the solid gold Rolex Yacht-Master II.

White Gold and Platinum Rolex Yacht-Master II 116689

Rolex Yacht-Master II 116689

For an ultra-luxurious take on the professional sailing watch, there’s the Yacht-Master II ref. 116689 which brings together two precious metals . The 44 mm Oyster case and hefty Oyster bracelet are crafted in 18k white gold while the bezel is made from platinum rather than ceramic.

Similar to the metal bezels of the Yacht-Master I watches, the Yacht-Master II ref. 116689’s platinum bezel includes glossy raised numerals sitting on a sandblasted background. These contrasting metal finishes capture the light in a fantastic way, and despite the monochromatic look of the Yacht-Master II ref. 116689, it simply gleams on the wrist.

The Evolution of the Rolex Yacht-Master II

The Yacht-Master II is one of Rolex's youngest collections

The Yacht-Master II collection is one of the younger ones from Rolex, joining the company’s catalog in 2007. However, just last year in 2007 on the tenth anniversary of the watch, Rolex made some updates . Despite keeping the same reference numbers, the new versions of the Yacht-Master II include Mercedes-style hands instead of pencil style hands. Also new to the dial are the rectangular and triangular indexes at 6 and 12 o’clock, respectively. Everything else remains the same on the Yacht-Master II models.

Whether you opt for the steel, two-tone Everose gold and steel, yellow gold, or white gold and platinum Yacht-Master II, this is a Rolex watch that makes a statement–at sea on or land.

A Closer Look at the Rolex GMT Master II Batman

R olex introduced the 116710BLNR in 2013, with its striking black and blue Cerachrom bezel prompting Rolex afficionados to assign the Rolex GMT Batman, or simply Rolex Batman, moniker. The orginal model remained in production until 2019, when Rolex released the 126710BLNR on a Jubilee bracelet (the Rolex GMT Batgirl). However in 2021 Rolex reintroduced the Rolex Batman model with its Oyster bracelet, therefore offering two options for collectors.

The Rolex GMT Batman has remained extremely popular throughout its two production runs, with owners prizing the combination of trademark Rolex build quality and striking aesthetic. Sotheby's global network of Rolex specialists have sold many Rolex Batman variants across auctions in New York, Paris and Hong Kong. Below we summarize the essential information for this iconic luxury sports watch.

Rolex Batman

Key Features of the Rolex Batman

  • Dual Time Zone: Displays two time zones simultaneously with an additional blue 24-hour hand and a rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel.
  • Cerachrom Bezel: The two-tone black and blue Cerachrom bezel is virtually scratch-proof and resistant to fading, maintaining its vibrant appearance over time. The Rolex Batman was Rolex's first two-tone colour Cerachrom bezel (reflecting the difficult of working with the material).
  • Material Options: Available in Oystersteel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Sizes: Exclusively offered in 40mm, the size provides a perfect balance between wrist presence and comfort, suiting both men and women.
  • Dial: The black dial features large hour markers and hands filled with Chromalight for exceptional legibility in any lighting conditions.
  • Bracelet: The Oyster bracelet defines the Rolex GMT Batman variant, offering comfort, durability, and a secure fit with the Oysterlock safety clasp.
  • Movement: Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3285, an automatic movement with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, and featuring a Parachrom hairspring for increased precision and resistance to shocks and temperature variations.

  • Shipping & Policies

12 oil colors in 18 ml tubes, MASTER CLASS professional series by St.Petersburg Nevskaya Palitra. The extra-fine artists' oil colors of the MASTER CLASS series represent thick ground fine mixtures of highly-qualified pigments and binding agents produced on the basis of linseed oils. The natural resins- dammar and mastic- are added into compounds of the binding agents. Great brightness and purity of colors. The paints are distinguished by a perfect balance of primer and finished colors. Fine-grained, dough artist’s colors of MASTER CLASS series are notable for their excellent lightfastness. They do not change their original colors after drying, so that they can be (and have widely been!) used in restoration works. Colors included: Zinc White or Titanium White Cadmium Yellow Light or Cadmium Yellow Medium Naples Yellow or Strontium Yellow Cadmium Red Light or Cadmium Red Deep English Red or Indian Red Ultramarine Light Phthalocyanine Blue Cobalt Green Light or Cobalt Green Deep Gold Ochre or Raw Sienna Burnt Umber or Burnt Sienna Emerald Green Mars Brown Light or Mars Brown Deep Mars Black or Lamp Black Paint characteristics - Most colors are single pigmented - Pure and deep colors, unique and inimitable tints with natural earth, cadmium, cobalt, iron oxide pigments - High concentration of pigment in every color - Soft and pasty consistency About oil paint - Oil colors are produced with special linseed oils - An important feature of oil paints is long drying time, which makes several painting sessions possible, giving the artist time to modify the painting - Oil paints have bright and pure colors that don’t change the hue after drying About Neva Palette Artistic Paints Plant - 85 years of professional artists’ paints production - Paints and produced in Saint Petersburg, Russia - Master Class paint has been used for restoration works in the Hermitage, the State Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery - Full cycle of manufacturing – from the development of recipes to production Export to more than 60 countries ProArtSuppliesUSA is an authorized distributor of Saint Petersburg NEVSKAYA PALITRA artistic paints in the United States. www.ebay.com/str/proartsupplies https://www.instagram.com/proartsuppliesusa/ www.nevskayapalitra.com
