Call From the Sea
In 1992, the Yacht-Master replica series was launched, the first watch designed for navigators and sailors. The partnership between Rolex and the sailing world and sailing events began in the 1950s, and the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master embodies this long history of cooperation. This professional replica watch perfectly combines practical functions with nautical style, suitable for both land and water. The Yacht-Master is easily recognizable thanks to its bidirectional rotating 60-minute graduated bezel, which is made of high-tech ceramic in precious metal or Cerachrom inserts.
High-Tech Ceramics
Rolex has repeatedly created precedents in the development of ceramic technology. With its superb technology, it has developed an integrated ceramic outer ring and ceramic word ring. These materials are not only scratch-resistant and environmentally friendly; thanks to their chemical composition, this high-tech ceramic is highly resistant to corrosion. After years of intensive research and development, Rolex has developed a set of unique expertise and innovative equipment and production processes, so it can produce ceramic components completely independently.
The new Yacht-Master 42 replica features a bidirectional rotating bezel and a 60-minute graduated bezel in Cerachrom matt black ceramic. The three-dimensional marks and numerals are made by ceramic casting and then polished.

The triple-lock winding crown has a triple waterproof system and is firmly screwed to the case. The crown shoulder is integrated into the middle case to protect the winding crown. The mirror surface is made of anti-reflective blue crystal, which is not easy to be scratched. At 3 o’clock, there is a small window convex lens for easy reading of the calendar.
