Rolex Yacht Master History & Legacy

The Yacht Master came in as a nautical inspired luxury watch, meant to introduce sailors' spirit into the Rolex line. With its waterproof Oyster case, characteristic bezel, and universal styling, both sailors and aficionados were drawn to it. Then the Yacht Master II further widened the scope with a regatta countdown function and sophisticated movement technology. Together, the models project Rolex's capability of merging technical proficiency with contemporary elegance to make the Yacht Master a highly innovative and unique collection for the brand and an important part of our wider second hand Rolex watches range.
