Rolex Yacht-Master 42 M226659-0002

The Rolex Yacht-Master with model number 226659 features a black dial and a 40mm case. The case is crafted from 18 karat white gold, while the Oysterflex bracelet is made from elastomer. The Yacht-Master is a chronometer with caliber 3235 and features a date display.

The innovative Oysterflex Yacht-Master bracelet, developed and patented by Rolex, is a sporty alternative to metal bracelets. The bracelet consists of a flexible plate made from a nickel-titanium alloy, securely connected to the case via a clasp. The plate is coated with high-quality black elastomer that offers exceptional resistance to environmental factors, provides a long service life, and adapts perfectly to the wearer. For enhanced comfort, the Oysterflex bracelet is fitted on the inside with lateral pads that stabilize the watch. Additionally, it features the Glidelock extension system developed and patented by Rolex, as well as the secure Oysterlock folding clasp in 18 karat gold. This ingenious mechanism with a serrated bar on the clasp allows tool-free bracelet extension of up to 15 mm with increments of approximately 2.5 mm.

The watch also features a Cyclops lens. The Cyclops lens is one of the most distinctive and recognizable elements of the Rolex brand. Named after the one-eyed giant from Greek mythology, the Cyclops lens magnifies the date window with extraordinary legibility. Every component of a Rolex watch tells a story. A story of discovery, research, development, and the constant pursuit of perfection.
