Today's Rolex Yacht-Master Timepieces

Today's Rolex Yacht-Master timepieces are among the most elegant sports watches in the Rolex collection, satisfying a blend of durability and refinement. Taking clear design inspiration from other models like the Submariner and Sea-Dweller, the Yacht-Master sets itself apart as a dignified choice due to a select few design elements like the unique relief bi-directional bezel. Discover the Yacht-Master in platinum, stainless steel, titanium, gold, and several case sizes.

Discover the Yacht-Master Collection

There is a certain level of exclusivity within the Yacht-Master suite as it's the only Rolex collection to feature Rolesium, the brand's proprietary combination of a stainless steel bracelet and a bezel in 950 platinum. Collectors can also discover a Yacht-Master fitted with an Oysterflex bracelet, a highly sought-after elastomer bracelet that made its way into the collection in 2015 with the Ref. 116655 — also the first Yacht-Master to be offered in Everose gold. Although the collection boasts some exclusivity in material, it certainly does not fall short in its wide range of case sizes including 35mm, 37mm, 40mm, and 42mm options, making it a fine choice for women looking for smaller sizes.

And, of course, it would be impossible to discuss the Yacht-Master without mentioning the Yacht-Master II, equipped with a regatta chronograph, adjustable countdown timer with flyback functionality, and mechanical memory—a truly stunning, technological timepiece.
