RL Yacht-Master 40

• The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is the perfect embodiment of luxury meets performance, designed for those who appreciate both refined aesthetics and maritime heritage. Originally introduced in the 1990s, the Yacht-Master collection was created to honor Rolex’s longstanding connection with the world of sailing and yachting, and the 40mm version strikes the perfect balance between sporty functionality and classic elegance.

• The 40mm Oyster case is available in various configurations, including Rolesium (a combination of stainless steel and platinum), Rolesor (steel and gold), and even Everose gold, each bringing a unique personality to the watch. The hallmark bidirectional rotatable bezel features a raised polished 60-minute graduated scale, allowing for precise time tracking—especially useful for regatta timing.

• The dial is designed for both readability and refinement, offered in shades like rhodium grey, deep blue, black, or chocolate, with Chromalight luminescent hour markers and hands ensuring optimal visibility even in low-light conditions. The signature Mercedes hands, central seconds, and a date display at 3 o’clock under a Cyclops lens all contribute to the watch’s practical elegance.

• At the heart of the Yacht-Master 40 is the Rolex Caliber 3235 (on newer models), a next-generation self-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured in-house. It offers a 70-hour power reserve, exceptional shock resistance, and is COSC-certified, ensuring chronometer-level accuracy and reliability under all conditions.

• The watch is fitted with a choice of bracelets, depending on the model: the iconic Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink extension for optimal comfort, or the innovative Oysterflex bracelet, a high-performance elastomer strap with a flexible titanium-nickel core, delivering both durability and comfort while maintaining a refined look.

• With a water resistance of 100 meters (330 feet), the Yacht-Master 40 is not just for show—it’s built for the open seas. The Triplock screw-down crown ensures robust waterproof protection, making it suitable for sailing, swimming, and coastal adventures.

• The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is a true symbol of adventurous luxury—ideal for those who appreciate precision, style, and the call of the sea. Whether on deck or on land, it is a versatile companion that effortlessly transitions from sporty to sophisticated.

• For collectors, yachting enthusiasts, or lovers of modern Rolex design, the Yacht-Master 40 stands out as a contemporary classic, merging technical mastery with timeless aesthetics.
