The "Yachtmaster" has always been associated with the world of sailing and yachting, but strangely enough (until recently), no particular feature of the watch could support the people on board (except perhaps its water resistance). Despite its nautically inspired name, the watch has never catered to any particular complication of the yacht racing world. In fact, it is almost identical to the Rolex Submariner, or perhaps an "upgrade" (even if the movement is the same in both watches!). Rolex must have been aware of this omission and, in 2010, it launched a new collection dedicated to the sailor (of the same name): Rolex Yacht-Master II replica.
Until 2010, the Rolex "Yacht-Master" replica collection no longer catered to the specific complications of the yacht racing world.
The Rolex Yacht-Master II men's watch imation has some interesting complications, including a "regatta" (countdown) chronograph to help skippers compete in yacht races.
Now with Rolex, you would expect the execution to be immaculate and of very high standards, and that is exactly what you find in the entire Yacht-Master II replica collection. Coming in 4 different metal options, the case size of the Yacht-Master II is 44mm, which is exceptionally big for a Rolex watch. However, it’s a ridiculously simple regatta watch to use.
The Cerachrom bezel works as a command ring for this watch (just like the Sky-Dweller). All you have to do is rotate the bezel counter clockwise till it locks (a quarter turn to the left basically). Then, push-in the lower chrono pusher to engage the setting mechanism for the red countdown hand. You then unscrew (not pull-out) the crown and set the ‘countdown’ hand to as many minutes you want to time (you can time a maximum of ten minutes). Once you’re done, turn the bezel back to its original position (i.e., turn it a quarter to the right) and then screw the crown back.
Water is, of course, an essential element for any sailor’s watch and who would know that better than Rolex. The year 1926 was when the brand introduced the world’s first patented waterproof case called the ‘Oyster case.’ The Yacht-Master II replica is an Oyster (naturally) and comes with the brand’s signature oyster bracelet as well.
The dial of the Rolex Yacht-Master II watch replica has also been masterfully executed, featuring an all-white lacquer finish with chromalight hour and minute hands in 18k white gold with blue PVD coating, and a small seconds counter at 6 o’clock. The hour indexes, too, have chromalight markings. And since the Yacht-Master II is also about ‘timing the start’, the red-contoured countdown arrow on the 10‑minute countdown does the job well by being readable at a glance.
But it’s the bezel that takes the cake in terms of design. Made of blue Cerachrom (except the platinum version which is done in platinum), the bezel engraved with numerals and inscriptions is what really gives the Yacht-Master II the ‘Nautical DNA’ it demands.
As mentioned before, there are only four variations of the Yacht-Master II available today: 1) In steel and Everose Gold 2) In Steel 3) In Yellow Gold and 4) In White Gold and Platinum.
The Rolex 44mm Yacht-Master II watch replica comes with the iconic Oyster bracelet . The watch is also available in 18k gold, rose gold and platinum premium metal versions.
They perform the same functions and have the same dial elements as well. And like all watches made by Rolex, the movement, and the dial is well protected by the Oyster case with a screw-down crown and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass. The Rolex Yacht-Master II replica is also water-resistant up to 100 meters. But giving you a heads up, the Yacht-Master II already has some heft to it with its 44mm case and solid oyster bracelet, so the weight of the timepiece will be more on the 18k gold and platinum premium metal versions.
“When ultimate resistance is the key.” The Rolex Yacht-Master II watch replica 116680 in steel is made of the highest quality of stainless steel. 904L stainless steel, in case you didn’t know, is extensively used in the aerospace industry where maximum resistance is vital. Rolex, however, has made their additions and developed a superalloy with 904L elements, which makes this watch extremely resistant and highly polishable, so you don’t have to worry about the salt water causing any trouble to your watch at all. Dial elements of this watch remain the same like the entire collection, except the luminous hour markers and small seconds counter that are given a blue outline.
