Mens Rolex Yachtmaster II watch, 18kt yellow gold case (44mm diameter), 18kt yellow gold Oysterlock bracelet with Easylink, special scratch-proof blue ceramic command bezel, white dial with red/blue markings, regatta countdown function, small seconds dial at 6 o'clock, #4160 Caliber 42 jewel self-winding Oyster Perpetual programmable chronometer movement, special Oyster case with shoulders to protect the Triplock winding crown, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 100 meters.

Hour and minute hand, as well as the small seconds dial at 6?o clock position show the current time. Current time can be adjusted by pulling the crown to its first position. In this position, the current time can be set in both directions. The small seconds hand stops automatically when the crown pulled out of the first notch and will start again when the crown is pushed back. The crown of the Yachtmaster II only has one position as there is no date function. The chronograph works the same as the Daytona model. Pusher at the 2 o'clock position for the start/stop function and a pusher at the 4 o'clock position for zero reset. Also, the pusher at the 4 o'clock position is used for synchronization and for setting the chronograph minute hand. The chronograph minute hand acts as a countdown (max 10 to 0 minutes).

The Oyster Perpetual Yachtmaster regatta chronograph spells uncompromising adventure. Inspired by the winds of change, this model sets new sights in the art of watchmaking. Intended for experienced skippers as well as yachting enthusiasts, this regatta chronograph is born of the longstanding relationship that Rolex enjoys with the sea, sailing, and the mysteries of the deep. It perpetuates the supremacy of the Oyster, designed to resist water and conquer the elements. The latest addition to the family of Oyster Professional watches, featuring an unprecented horological complication, the Yachtmaster II and its programmable countdown memory signal a new generation that draws on a wellspring of know-how and innovation. Today, total autonomy in research and production grants Rolex the freedom to create, design and manufacture resolutely innovative watches while rigorously adhering to the demands of quality. Rolex relies on the competence and ingenuity of its watchmakers and the resourcefulness of the men and women -designers, engineers, and other specialists - in its laboratories and workshops. The Rolex Yachtmaster II is much more than the culmination of Rolex technology or that indispensable instrument at the starting line of a regatta. It is a moment of pure pleasure to be savoured both on land and at sea.
