Due to the interplay between the movement, the case and the bezel, this chronograph exemplifies the new generation of wristwatches. The new Yacht-Master has been so well thought out in its application that the different functions can all be operated with one hand. The watch is equipped with a completely new movement, namely the caliber 4160, which is equipped with 360 individual components and is manufactured entirely by the Rolex company. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with a Parachrom Breguet hairspring in blue and a terminal curve that is more than ten times more resistant to shocks and far less sensitive to magnetic fields.
The mechanism of the countdown was made using a vertical clutch and a ratchet wheel. Rolex has achieved an excellent technical achievement in producing this new type of countdown function. The watch can even be used in regattas with different start times. The new Yacht-Master features a Rolex manufacture movement with a perpetual rotor that has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.
The case has a diameter of 42.6 mm and is made from a solid block of 18 carat, yellow gold or white gold. The Yacht-Master II can be screwed onto a Triplock winding crown, is equipped with crown protection and has two pushers that are aligned on both sides of the winding crown. The start and stop pusher is located at the two o'clock position, triggers the countdown and ends it at the same time. The reset button is located at the four o'clock position and also has the additional functions for programming, synchronizing and setting a countdown.
In short, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is the innovation in the world of wristwatches!
