This
year, Rolex presents the first Professional watch in the Oyster collection to
be available in Everose Rolesor, an exquisite amalgamation of the 904L steel
and 18 ct Everose gold, Rolex’s trademark version of rose gold that it manufactures itself.
The
new Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II embodies all of the intense emotion associated
with a regatta. Its impressive size and sleek nautical-inspired design and regatta
chronograph reflect the celebrated Maxi Yachts, built to brave the oceans.
With its numerous clever watchmaking
features, the Yacht-Master II model is the epitome of the brand’s creative force and technology. Equipped
with a programmable countdown with a mechanical memory, the Oyster Perpetual
Yacht-Master II boasts a pioneering watchmaking complication, based on
interaction between the movement and the bezel, allowing the wearer to designate
a countdown sequence from 1 to 10 minutes.
The
Yacht-Master II is luxurious functionality at its zenith. Built to last, this
rugged timepiece is stamped from a block of corrosion-resistant 904L steel,
offering all the qualities of water resistance that have cemented the reputation
of Oyster watches. The patented blue cerachrom bezel insert, virtually impervious
to scratches and corrosion-resistant, is also patented and manufactured by
Rolex.
