Rolex Yatch-Master 40 ‘Rhodium’

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40, reference 126622, is a distinguished model that seamlessly blends luxury with functionality. Introduced as part of Rolex’s “Rolesium” collection, this timepiece features a unique combination of Oystersteel and platinum, setting it apart in both design and performance.

The 40mm Oyster case is crafted from robust Oystersteel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The platinum bezel, with its raised polished numerals and graduations against a matte, sand-blasted background, not only enhances the watch’s aesthetic appeal but also serves a functional purpose. This bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel allows wearers to calculate elapsed time, making it particularly useful for maritime activities.

Complementing the case is the slate dial, which offers exceptional legibility in various lighting conditions. The broad hands and hour markers, in simple shapes—triangles, circles, rectangles—are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow, thanks to the Chromalight display.

Powering the Yacht-Master 40 is the Rolex Calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its precision and reliability. This COSC-certified movement incorporates the innovative Chronergy escapement, offering a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

The Oyster bracelet, equipped with the Oysterlock safety clasp and the Easylink comfort extension link, ensures a secure and comfortable fit. Crafted from Oystersteel, this bracelet not only complements the watch’s overall aesthetic but also provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear.
