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.
