The Rolex Yacht-Master made its debut in 1992, designed specifically for sailors and yachting enthusiasts. With its unique features and striking appearance, the Yacht-Master quickly became a symbol of excellence in the sailing world. Over the years, Rolex has continued to refine and improve the Yacht-Master, introducing new materials, sizes, and complications to meet the evolving needs of sailors and watch aficionados alike. To learn more about the fascinating history of this iconic timepiece, explore our in-depth article on the Rolex Yacht-Master history .

Rolex Yacht-Master Features

The Rolex Yacht-Master boasts an impressive array of features that set it apart from other luxury watches. Our Rolex Yacht-Master review dives into the details that make the Yacht-Master a true icon in the world of horology.

At the heart of the Yacht-Master lies a self-winding mechanical movement, ensuring precise and reliable timekeeping. The Rolex Yacht-Master movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, undergoing rigorous testing to guarantee its accuracy and performance. With its rigorous testing and certification, the Rolex Yacht-Master movement stands as a pinnacle of horological excellence, meeting the demands of both luxury and performance.

The Yacht-Master features a distinctive bidirectional rotatable bezel, which allows sailors to measure elapsed time and synchronize with regatta starting times. The Rolex Yacht-Master bezel is crafted from precious metals or Cerachrom, Rolex's proprietary ceramic material, offering durability and resistance to scratches and fading. Crafted from premium materials such as precious metals or Rolex's innovative Cerachrom ceramic, the Yacht-Master bezel not only ensures durability but also maintains its pristine appearance over time, making it a hallmark of both function and luxury.

Whether opting for a more understated or commanding presence, there's a Yacht-Master size to complement every individual style and comfort level. The Rolex Yacht-Master size is available in a range to suit different preferences and wrist sizes:

• Diameter: The Rolex Yacht-Master diameter comes in 37mm, 40mm, and 42mm options 
• Dimensions: The Rolex Yacht-Master dimensions vary based on the model 
• Lug to Lug: The Rolex Yacht-Master lug to lug distance is proportional to the case size 
• Lug Width: The Rolex Yacht-Master lug width is compatible with various strap options 

Complementing its sophisticated design, the Yacht-Master presents a selection of Rolex Yacht-Master band options, ranging from classic Oyster bracelets to supple rubber straps, providing both versatility and refinement to match any occasion or personal style preference.

Water Resistance

With a Rolex Yacht-Master water resistance of 100 meters (330 feet), the watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities. Yacht-Master's water resistance adds to its allure as a trusted companion for seaside escapades. Whether cruising the waves or lounging by the pool, this timepiece combines elegance with durability, ensuring style and functionality in every aquatic endeavor. However, it is not recommended for deep-sea diving.

Yacht-Master Rolex Price

Popular Rolex Yacht-Master Comparisons

When considering a Rolex Yacht-Master, it's natural to compare it with other popular Rolex models and even watches from other luxury brands. Comparing the Rolex serial numbers can also be a helpful way to understand the differences between various models. Let's look at some common comparisons:

Rolex Yacht-Master vs. Submariner

When comparing the Rolex Yacht-Master vs Submariner , both are nautical-inspired watches, but the Submariner is designed primarily for diving, while the Yacht-Master is tailored to the needs of sailors and yachting enthusiasts. Both the Yacht-Master and Submariner exemplify Rolex's commitment to excellence in both form and function, offering impeccable performance and timeless style.

Rolex Yacht-Master vs. Yacht-Master II

In the comparison of the Rolex Yacht-Master vs Yacht-Master II , the Yacht-Master II is a more complex timepiece, featuring a programmable countdown with a mechanical memory and on-the-fly synchronization. The Yacht-Master, on the other hand, is a more straightforward and versatile watch, suitable for both on and off the water.

Rolex Yacht-Master vs. Sea-Dweller

When looking at the Rolex Yacht-Master vs Sea-Dweller, the Sea-Dweller is a professional diving watch with a water resistance of up to 4,000 feet (1,220 meters), while the Yacht-Master is designed for sailing and water activities with a water resistance of up to 330 feet (100 meters).

Rolex Yacht-Master vs. Omega Seamaster

When comparing luxury watch brands, the Omega vs. Rolex debate often arises. While both brands offer exceptional timepieces, the Rolex Yacht-Master and the Omega Seamaster cater to different preferences and styles. Ultimately, the choice between the Yacht-Master and Seamaster comes down to personal preference, with Rolex appealing to those who value tradition and prestige, while Omega appeals to enthusiasts seeking innovation and versatility.

Expert Opinion

"The Rolex Yacht-Master is a striking maritime watch that combines high style and functionality in a single package. The collection features a resilient waterproof case, a clean and legible dial, and a rotatable bezel with 60-minute graduations. With its innovative design and phenomenal performance, the Rolex Yacht-Master is a prime investment for anyone looking for a top-of-the-line luxury watch."

- Paul Altieri, Founder and CEO of Bob's Watches

Testimonials

Nathaniel g..

"I had wanted a Yacht-Master for as long as I could remember, but could never justify the high price of buying new. Once I realized that buying pre-owned might be a smarter option, I searched around the internet, but only Bob's Watches made me feel comfortable with making such a large purchase online. I understood their business model, and past customers' reviews were very positive. The prices were competitive as well, and rivaled those of less-trustworthy dealers. Once I made my choice, there was a slight hiccup in the process to wire funds, but when I called in, the problem was quickly resolved.

I received my watch a few days later, and it looked stunning. When the site says "mint condition," it means it! Bob's was also able to tell me when the watch was last serviced, which (in combination with the one-year warranty) gives me peace-of-mind. As I look to expand my collection of watches, I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer of Bob's Watches."

Review originally published on Trustpilot

"I have been shopping for the Rolex Yachtmaster for the better part of a year. I visited multiple jewelers & brokers in my area. Either they were of poor condition or over priced. Then I found Bobs Watches. The staff was expeditious and courteous. They sent me new photos of the watch upon request with no hesitation. The service, price, and condition of the watch was without compare. I am now a lifelong customer of Bobs Watches, I cannot imagine buying from any other source."

Introducing The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 With Multi-Color Gem-Set Bezel

We have seen several iterations of this sporty watch in various sizes, such as 40mm, 37mm, and 35mm, along with the yacht-master ii, but this is the first time we have seen the yacht-master 40 set with rolex’s famous gemstones..

The Yacht-Master has been a consistent part of the Oyster Perpetual collection since its debut in 1992 . We have seen several iterations of this sporty watch in various sizes, such as 40mm, 37mm, and 35mm, along with the Yacht-Master II, but this is the first time we have seen the Yacht-Master 40 set with Rolex’s famous gemstones. And boy is this one set with gemstones. 

The new Rolex Yacht-Master 40 with gem-set bezel.

The latest Yacht-Master 40 is pretty much the same watch we know from 2015 , with the addition of a bright gem-set bezel. The watch still features a 40mm 18k Everose gold case (in case you forgot, Everose is Rolex’s special rose gold alloy) and has the rich glossy black dial with oversized white lume plots (Chromalight to be exact) and Everose surrounds. The movement is still the same trusty automatic caliber 3135 movement and the watch can still boast 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance. 

The new thing about this watch is the rainbow-colored rotating bezel. I have talked about Rolex’s impeccable gem-setting technique before, and while it is clearly not for everyone, it deserves your respect. Here the bezel is set with 32 sapphires, eight tsavorites, and one diamond, fitted perfectly together, creating a vibrant look on an otherwise sporty timepiece. 

The new Rolex Yacht-Master has the Oysterflex strap featured on the previous iteration.

Finally, this watch is finished with a black Oysterflex rubber strap (which was developed and patented by Rolex) and 18k Everose Oysterlock clasp. There's no news yet on pricing for this watch, but we will update this story as soon as it becomes available. Be sure to check back soon for live photographs too.

Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant 2, Sosnoviy Bor

The Leningrad nuclear power plant-2 (LNPP2) is being developed next to the existing Leningrad NPP in the town of Sosnovy Bor in Leningrad Oblast, Russia.

Nuclear power plant

Reactor Type and Model

VVER-1200 pressurised water reactor

Sosnoviy Bor, Russia

Rosenergoatom

Construction Started

October 2008

Unit 1: 2016, Unit 2: 2018

The Leningrad nuclear power plant-2 (LNPP2) is being developed next to the existing Leningrad nuclear power plant (NPP) in the town of Sosnovy Bor in Leningrad Oblast, Russia. The plant is located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, approximately 70km to the west of the Saint Petersburg city centre.

The project is being developed to replace the existing RBMK-1000 type reactors at the Leningrad NPP, which are nearing expiry. The design life of the first unit is estimated to be until 2018, while the second unit is until 2020, and the third and fourth units are until 2025.

Four upgraded VVER-1200 water-moderated reactors will be installed at the Leningrad NPP-2. Construction of the first unit started in October 2008, followed by the second unit in April 2010. The two units are expected to come online in 2016 and 2018, respectively.

Leningrad NPP details

Adler Power Plant, located in the Sochi District of Russia, is an advanced combined heat and power station (CHPS) built by Gazprom.

Leningrad is one of ten nuclear power plants being operated by Russia’s state-owned utility Rosenergoatom, the world’s second-biggest nuclear power generating utility. The plant is a major producer of electrical power in the Russian North-West and currently generates electricity for more than 50% of St Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast population.

It is the first Russian nuclear power plant to use the RBMK-1000 reactors (uranium – graphite nuclear reactors of channel type on thermal neutrons). Its construction started in July 1967 and the first unit was launched in December 1973. The other four units were launched in July 1975, December 1979 and December 1981.

As of June 2015, the first unit at the plant is being overhauled, while the remaining three units are operating with a load of 3,020MW.

Leningrad NPP 2 make-up

Leningrad NPP 2 is the second Russian nuclear power plant, the first one being Novovoronezh II, to use VVER-1200 (AES-2006) reactors. It will further be equipped with four PGV-1000MKP steam generators.

The four nuclear reactors are estimated to have an annual electricity output of 32.8 million kWh. Each reactor is also estimated to generate approximately 9.17PJ/yr of district heating.

Each steam turbine weighs more than 2,500t and is designed to operate for 60 years. Heat from the reactor’s primary coolant circuit will be transferred to a secondary circuit to turn water into steam that will drive turbines to generate electricity.

VVER-1200 reactors at Leningrad-2

VVER is a series of pressurised, water-cooled, water-moderated energy reactor designs originally developed in Russia. The main features of the 1200 series reactor include horizontal steam generators, hexahedral fuel assemblies and high-capacity pressurisers that provide a large reactor coolant inventory.

The reactor is designed to produce 1,200MWe of power with optimised fuel efficiency and operate at a capacity factor of 90%.

Its safety features include a containment building and missile shield, while the emergency systems include an emergency core cooling system, backup diesel supply, refuelling machine, backup feed water supply and reactor SCRAM system.

The nuclear reactor and associated systems, including refuelling machine, diesel backup power supply, steam generators and reactor control systems, are accommodated in a single building. The turbo generators are installed in a separate building.

Leningrad-2 nuclear power plant construction

Construction of the foundation plate of the reactor building began in October 2008 and was completed in June 2009.

First concrete was poured for the foundation plate of the second unit’s turbine building in April 2010. The containment dome of the first unit was installed in June 2014. The steam generators for unit 2 were delivered to the construction site in the same month.

Contractors involved with Leningrad NPP 2 development

AtomEnergoProekt (AEP), a company based in St Petersburg, was awarded a $5.8bn contract for the construction of the first two units in March 2008. AEP was also awarded the contract to design the third and fourth units of the nuclear power station.

TITAN-2, operating through its subsidiary Titanstroymontazh, is the general contractor for the project. ZIO-Podolsk, a subsidiary of Atomenergomash (AEM), is the manufacturer of steam generators for the NPP. It is also the supplier of the separation system, reheating system and high-pressure heaters for the plant.

AEM conducted the logistics operations for the delivery of four steam generators from the production site (Podolsk) to the construction site in Sosnovy Bor. ZIO-Podolsk Energospetsmontazh was engaged for building and commissioning the power units of the plant, while JET (GE Energy Technologies) was awarded the contract for the installation of simulator equipment.

Glasovsky Zavod Himmash, part of Russian heavy engineering company OMZ, was contracted to manufacture AFIPE-3,4-1,6-S hydrogen form cation resin deironing filters and AFSDPE-3,4-1,6-S mixed-bed filters for the first two units.

ARAKO, part of Rosatom’s machine engineering division Atomenergomash, is the supplier of industrial valves, stop valves and globe valves for the project. OKBM Afrikantov conducted the acceptance tests of the unit 2 refuelling machinery.

Staying on course

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium with an intense black dial and an Oyster bracelet.

Bidirectional rotatable bezel, timing the distance.

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from precious metals or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-tech ceramic. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background.

This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

Intense black dial

Exceptional legibility.

Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 42 offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display.

The broad hands and hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.

RLX titanium

Ultralight resistance

RLX titanium is a grade 5 titanium alloy specially selected by Rolex. Like all titanium alloys, it is especially lightweight and is noted for its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

Another characteristic of RLX titanium is the possibility of working it to give a polished or satin finish according to the brand’s specifications. Its high mechanical strength makes it complex to work with, and the decision to use it has required the introduction of special production processes.

The Oyster bracelet

Alchemy of form and function.

The Yacht-Master 42, made from RLX titanium, is fitted on an Oyster bracelet. Developed at the end of the 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet remains the most universal in the Oyster Perpetual collection and is known for its robustness.

The Oyster bracelet of this new version of the Yacht-Master 42 features the Oysterlock folding safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening. It is also equipped with the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex, which allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm. The Oyster bracelet in RLX titanium also includes patented ceramic inserts – designed by the brand – inside the links to enhance its flexibility on the wrist and its longevity.
