Yacht-Master

Today's Rolex Yacht-Master Timepieces

Today's Rolex Yacht-Master watches are among the most refined and versatile luxury sports watches in the Rolex Certified Pre-Owned collection. While the design shares DNA with the Submariner and Sea-Dweller , the Yacht-Master stands apart with its distinctively elegant aesthetic and functional bi-directional bezel. Available in precious metals like 18k Everose gold, Rolesium (a blend of Oystersteel and platinum), titanium, and classic stainless steel, the Yacht-Master offers luxury, performance, and variety in both new and second-hand options.

Explore the Pre-Owned Yacht-Master Collection

The Yacht-Master is the only Rolex model to feature Rolesium, the proprietary blend of a stainless steel case and a 950 platinum bezel. Another popular variant is the Everose gold reference 126655, which debuted the Oysterflex bracelet to the collection in 2015. This sought-after elastomer strap adds sport functionality with refined style. Pre-owned Yacht-Master references are available in 35mm, 37mm, 40mm, and 42mm case sizes, offering options for both men and women seeking a statement piece with maritime roots.

The Rolex Yacht-Master II is equally notable, boasting a regatta chronograph, programmable countdown function, flyback mechanism, and mechanical memory, making it one of the most complex certified pre-owned Rolex watches on the market. Discover more about the pre-owned Yacht-Master II collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Yacht-Master

No, the Yacht-Master is still part of Rolex's modern lineup. However, certain models like the midsize 35mm and the ladies' 29mm options have been phased out, making pre-owned versions of those models more desirable.

2. Adjust the hands clockwise to set the correct time.
