ROLEX
OYSTER PERPETUAL YACHT MASTER II
Perhaps the best-known modern regatta watch uses its own timing complication that is both programmable and correctible. The Yacht-
Master II’s countdown can be programmed for a duration of between one and ten minutes. The programming is memorized by the
mechanism so that at a reset it returns to the previous setting.
Once launched, the countdown can be synchronized to match the offi cial race countdown. The dial on this newest model now features
a triangular hour marker at 12 o’clock and a rectangular hour marker at 6 o’clock for more intuitive reading. A luminescent disc on the hour
hand clearly distinguishes it from the minute hand. Prices: Starting at $18,750 in steel.
