Watch of the Week: Rolex Yacht-Master

Rarely has a name of a timepiece been more appropriate than with the Rolex Yacht-Master, because if you own a yacht, this is the watch to wear. While deeply rooted in Rolex's sailing heritage, a field in which they have been active since the 1950s, it was first launched in 1992. Right from the start, it held a unique position as it combines the tool watch look of the Submariner with a generous dash of elegance. This resulted in a tempting sports watch that has been one of the pillars of the Rolex collection ever since.

Watch of the Week: Rolex Yacht-Master 42

When it comes to Rolex's sports watches, the focus is often on their famed Daytona, GMT-Master, Explorer of Submariner, rather than the Yacht-Master. Even today can the Yacht-Master be considered a new kid on the block, as this model wasn't introduced until 1992 and doesn't have such a long history as the other Rolex sports models mentioned. Some refer to it as the Submariner's casual sibling, and there is some truth to this. While visually, it has some similarities, there are also differences. The 60-minute graduated bezel is bidirectional, and Yacht-Master is 'only' waterproof to 100 meters. In effect, this makes it the perfect watch for people who enjoy all kinds of water sports but don't scuba dive.
