Charting Its Course

Style of the Yacht-Master II

 The Yacht-Master II’s bold and distinguished marine character is firmly in line with the spirit of the Oyster 

 Professional watches. The regatta chronograph’s clear display epitomises Rolex’s constant attention to detail.

 Its red-contoured countdown arrow and the seconds hand are readable at a glance against the dedicated 10-minute countdown graduation on the dial and the graduations on the bezel.

 

4161 Movement

Features

The Yacht-Master II is equipped with calibre 4161, a self-winding mechanical regatta chronograph movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. The result of over 35,000 hours of development, the Yacht-Master II introduces a new regatta countdown with a unique, patented mechanical memory created by Rolex. A number of the 360 components in the 4161 movement are so tiny or complex that they can only be made by new, cutting-edge technology.

Spirit of the Yacht-Master II

Yachting has an elegance that the sport’s harsh conditions cannot obscure. Along the Sardinian coastline, commanding yachts cut through the Mediterranean with agility and apparent ease. But the idyllic scene belies the competitiveness, for this is an event where the crews are determined to win.

The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
