Crafted for the world's most prestigious regattas, the Rolex Yacht-Master II Ref. 116680 is a professional regatta chronograph—an engineering masterpiece that combines functionality, precision, and an unmistakable nautical style. It is the world's first watch with a programmable countdown featuring a mechanical memory, a tribute to the competitive spirit, innovation, and technical mastery.
Case and Bezel
The 44 mm case is crafted from Oystersteel, a Rolex-exclusive alloy that offers exceptional resistance and brilliance. The robust and waterproof Oyster design is built to withstand the rigors of the sea. The bidirectional, rotatable Ring Command bezel is at the core of this watch's functionality. Featuring a blue Cerachrom ceramic insert, it interacts with the movement to program and synchronize the countdown—a patented Rolex feature that demonstrates true ingenuity.
Dial
The white dial features hour markers and hands with Chromalight, which emit a long-lasting blue luminescence for superior legibility in low-light conditions. The dial configuration is optimized for sailing, with a large central chronograph hand and a bright red countdown hand that stands out. The precision of the markers and the sub-dial layout reflect the need for quick and accurate readings during a regatta.
Movement
At the heart of this navigational instrument lies the Calibre 4161, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This movement, certified as a Superlative Chronometer, features a Parachrom hairspring and the Chronergy escapement, guaranteeing a precision of −2/+2 seconds per day. With a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, its advanced engineering is designed for performance, especially with its regatta chronograph function.
Bracelet
The watch is complemented by an Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel, which combines robustness and comfort. The bracelet is equipped with an Oysterlock safety clasp and the Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link, allowing for easy adjustment on a sailor's wrist. Its solid and elegant design makes it perfect for both daily wear and the most demanding conditions at sea.
The Rolex Yacht-Master II Ref. 116680 is not just a watch; it's a precision instrument designed for the sport of sailing, a statement of nautical style, and the ultimate expression of chronograph innovation. It is the epitome of Rolex engineering, built for the sea and refined for the lifestyle of sailors.
