That’s not really something you can get form every watch you own.

The chronograph function is really unique because it actually measures countdown times rather than counting up. The ceramic bezel, it actually is turning able.

WHITE DIAL

The Yacht-Master II is equipped with a new dial, and new hands that are characteristic of Rolex Professional models, enhancing legibility and sharpening its aesthetic appeal. The dial now features a triangular hour marker at 12 o’clock and a rectangular hour marker at 6 o’clock for more intuitive reading of the watch.

A luminescent disc on the hour hand clearly distinguishes it from the minute hand. The Yacht-Master II’s countdown can be programmed for a duration of between 1 and 10 minutes. The programming is memorized by the mechanism so that at a reset it returns to the previous setting. Once launched, the countdown can be synchronized on the fly to match the official race countdown.

The movement

In terms of functionality, this royal Rolex is driven by an innovative mechanism, easy to understand and use. Compared to other models, the Yachtmaster II frame does not depend on the motion of needles. Perhaps its most obvious and remarkable feature is the command ring type that is connected to the internal mechanism. As a consequence, the programmed motion takes place by rotating the two-way frame at 90 degrees. This is a superb, innovative and patented Rolex detail.

The photograph above is a stock pic from Rolex, and shows the movement. The chronograph features an integrated column wheel with a vertical clutch engagement.

The movement is the Rolex in-house manufactured 4161, which is based on the Rolex 4130 used in the Daytona. The original Yacht-Master II had the 4060 movement, which was updated in 2013 to the 4161. In its latest iteration, the C.4161 carries additional minor modifications to meet the Rolex chronometer specifications of +/-2 seconds a day.

In terms of design, it is definitely a fascinating model. The red arrow of the indicator contrasts elegantly with the wonderful white dial, which remains in a minimalist area. The case is made of 18 karat gold and blue Cerachrome, with golden and bold elements. It has a robust silhouette, 43 mm wide, 50 mm long and 14 mm thick. It includes Oyster Buckle Bracelet and gold indicators.

This abundance of Rolex technology, the result of over 35,000 hours of development, includes a patented function and comprises some 360 components.This technology allows the production of components whose tiny proportions or complex geometry rule out manufacturing by traditional machining methods.

Having a brilliant masterpiece wrapped around your wrist is all you need to shun every grand event you go to.

The cases of the 4 Yachtmaster II models are made of different materials, but 116688 remains the most impressive. For this version, Rolex preferred 18 karat yellow gold, a decision that makes the model enjoy extended exposure and complete success.
