Call from the sea
In 1992, the Yacht-Master series was launched, launching the first watch designed specifically for navigators and sailors. Rolex’s cooperation with the sailing community and sailing events began in the 1950s, and the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master reflects this long history of cooperation. This professional watch perfectly combines practical functions with nautical style, making it suitable for wear on land or on the water. The Yacht-Master is easily identifiable because of its two-way rotating 60-minute scale outer ring. The outer ring is made of precious metals or high-tech ceramics such as Cerachrom ceramic inserts.
High-tech ceramics
Rolex has repeatedly pioneered the development of ceramic technology. With its superb technology, it has developed an integrated ceramic outer ring and ceramic word ring. Not only are these materials scratch-resistant and impervious to environmental influences, but thanks to their chemical composition, this high-tech ceramic is highly resistant to corrosion. After years of painstaking research and development, Rolex has developed a unique set of professional knowledge and innovative equipment and production processes, so it can produce ceramic components completely independently.
The new Yacht-Master 42 is equipped with a two-way rotating outer ring and a Cerachrom matte black ceramic 60-minute scale insert. The three-dimensional markings and numbers are made from ceramic molds and then polished. The first 15 minutes of the word circle are marked with minute scales to facilitate accurate reading of interval time. The toothed edge of the outer ring allows the wearer to easily grasp and rotate the outer ring.
Oyster case, symbol of water resistance
The new Yacht-Master 42’s 42mm Oyster case is guaranteed water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet) and is a model of robustness and reliability. The middle case is cast from a single piece of solid 18K gold. Rolex watchmakers use special tools exclusive to the brand to tighten the finely grooved bottom cover to seal the case, so only Rolex watchmakers can access the movement. The three-buckle winding crown has a triple waterproof system and is firmly screwed to the case. The crown guard is integrated into the middle case to protect the winding crown. The mirror surface is made of anti-reflective blue crystal and is not easily scratched. There is a small window convex lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the calendar. The watch’s waterproof Oyster case provides the best protection for the movement.
Perpetual movement caliber 3235
The new Yacht-Master 42 is equipped with caliber 3235, which was launched in 2015 and was fully developed and manufactured by Rolex. It was installed in this series of watches in 2019. The self-winding movement equipped with it has obtained a number of patents, fully embodying Rolex’s innovative technology and excellent watchmaking craftsmanship, and has been further improved in terms of accuracy and reliability, power reserve, anti-shock and anti-magnetic, and ease of use. The highest good.
The 3235 movement is equipped with Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement system, which is efficient and reliable. This escapement is made of nickel phosphorus and is not affected by magnetic fields. The movement is equipped with Rolex’s patented blue Parachrom hairspring, made from a unique paramagnetic alloy cast by Rolex. The hairspring is also equipped with a Rolex final ring to ensure that the movement can still operate regularly in any position. The movement’s balance spring assembly is equipped with a high-performance Paraflex cushioning device designed and patented by Rolex to improve the movement’s shock resistance.
Caliber 3235 is equipped with a perpetual motion automatic winding component, which is wound by a perpetual oscillating weight. The structure of the barrel and the excellent efficiency of the escapement system increase the power reserve of the 3235 movement to approximately 70 hours.
Oysterflex strap and Oyster safety clasp
The new Yacht-Master 42 18K gold model is equipped with an Oysterflex strap, which combines the sturdiness and reliability of a metal strap with the flexibility, comfort and beauty of a rubber strap. The innovative watch strap developed and patented by Rolex is composed of a curved elastic metal sheet on the inside and covered with high-performance black rubber injection molding. It is not easily affected by various environmental conditions and is durable. There is a vertical cushion on the back of the Oysterflex strap, making it more comfortable to wear.
The Oysterflex strap of the new Yacht-Master 42 is equipped with an 18K gold Oyster safety buckle designed and patented by Rolex to prevent accidental opening of the buckle. The strap is equipped with a Rolex Glidelock extension device. Developed and patented by Rolex, this innovative rack mechanism is concealed under the buckle cover and allows for step-by-step fine-tuning of the Oysterflex strap length without the need for tools. The Rolex Glidelock extension for the Oysterflex watch strap has six steps of approximately 2.5 mm each, making it easy to adjust the strap length up to approximately 15 mm.
Superior Chronometer Certification
Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 also holds the Superlative Chronometer certification established by Rolex in 2015. This unique designation proves that each watch has successfully passed a series of tests in Rolex laboratories. In addition, the movements of these watches are also certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Center (COSC). The watch is tested after it is assembled and the movement is installed in the case to ensure that the watch can perform excellently in terms of accuracy, power reserve, waterproofing and automatic winding when worn. The average error of the Rolex Grand Observatory chronometer is within plus or minus two seconds per day. The accuracy that Rolex pursues is much higher than the standard for Swiss official chronometer certification.
The green seal, a symbol of superior chronometer precision, is included with every Rolex watch and comes with a five-year global guarantee.
