Rolex Yachtmaster: A Masterpiece
The Roles Yachtmaster is a masterpiece with its start-of-art design and trendy and sporty looks.
The Yachtmaster was derived from the Submariner with a modified bezel. Rolex introduced the Rolex Yachtmaster in 1992 18K yellow gold. It then added 2 new models to this line: Ladies Model 69628 and Mid Size Model 68628 in 1994. Initially these models were available only in 18K yellow gold. In 1996 Rolex released two-toned, steel and 18K yellow gold, models as the ladies model 69623 and mid-sized model 68623.
Yachtmaster is now available in an all-stainless steel version but only in mid-size models. Rolex released the Yachtmaster in Rolesium in 1997. These models were in stainless steel and platinum finish. This was a great success for Rolex with huge demand and sales. This could also be because of limited availability of these watches.
The Yacht-Master line of watches is a masterpiece and is one of the more popular models of Rolex watches in recent years.
Functions of the Yachtmaster:
Hours, minutes, small seconds, date and rotative bezel (60-minute timer).

The Rolex Yachtmaster II: The Regatta Chronograph
Rolex announced a new sports watch for yachtsmen: the Rolex Yacht-Master II at Basel World 2007. Rolex made some significant changes to the GMT Master movement between the original GMT Master, and the GMT Master II, the latter allowing the hour hand and the 24-hour hand to be set independently. Likewise, the Explorer II changed dramatically from the original Explorer, adopting the same movement as the GMT Master II which added a 24-hour hand and date.
The Oyster Perpetual Yachtmaster II Regatta Chronograph is the first match to have a programmable countdown feature with a mechanical memory allowing easy synchronization to a subsequent signal. The Yachtmaster II features a new movement called “4160 calibre” that consists on 360 components, produced and designed by Rolex.
According to its bezel, it features a Ring Command one designed and developed by Rolex. It is rotative 90 degrees that make it possible to access to the programming function of the countdown and the locking system of the program.
No stainless steel versions are available for the New Yachtmaster watches. It is only available is yellow and white gold.
Operation of Yacht-Master II is little complicated. You can check out the Yacht-Master II home page on Rolex's site, and the operational tutorial.
Functions of the Yachtmaster II:
Hours, minutes, small seconds at 6, chronograph, regatta countdown (0-10 minutes)
