OYSTER PERPETUAL
YACHT–MASTER 42
Rolex is extending its Yacht-Master range with a new
42 mm model, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42.
Yacht-Master sailing watches are recognizable thanks
to their distinctive bidirectional rotatable bezel with a
raised 60-minute graduation. The Yacht-Master 42 is fit-
ted with a Cerachrom insert in matt-black ceramic that
perfectly complements its black lacquer dial. Created from
18 ct white gold, this new watch heralds the arrival of
this precious metal on a Yacht-Master model. The light
reflections on the case sides and lugs highlight the profile
of the Oyster case.
Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 42
offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and espe-
cially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display. The
broad hands and hour markers are filled with a luminescent
material emitting a long-lasting glow.
This new model is equipped with calibre 3235 – at
the forefront of watchmaking technology – a first for the
Yacht-Master range.
Like all Rolex watches, the Yacht-Master 42 carries
the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures
excellent performance on the wrist.
