In today's vernacular, the word 'hype' implies that something has gained status or attention it has not earned. When buying a product as consistently and exceptionally fine as a Rolex Yachtmaster II watch (or any other Rolex model), the only "hype" is the excitement you feel when owning one. Given the quality of materials and exquisite craftsmanship that go into making each Rolex, it is little wonder that discriminating, sophisticated buyers are choosing the Rolex Yachtmaster II in record numbers.
The Oyster Perpetual Rolex Yachtmaster II regatta chronograph is not just a watch; it's also an invaluable tool for people who race yachts competitively. Although some owners choose the Yachtmaster II for its handsome features and legendary durability, many buyers select this watch as a matter of practicality. It has been designed and engineered to withstand exposure to corrosive sea spray, variable atmospheric conditions, and inadvertent contact with ropes, sails, cleats, and all of the other rigging above and below the deck of a racing yacht.
Crew members of world-class racing vessels must move precisely and adjust to ever-changing conditions. These quick or trying movements create countless opportunities for shocks that would wreck the delicate inner components of other watches. With the Yachtmaster II, owners' concerns about damaging their watches while sailing are alleviated by the durability of its interior and exterior features, including:
The Yachtmaster II's composition-Equipped with the innovative, brand-new Rolex self-winding Caliber 4160, the Yachtmaster II consists of no fewer than 360 components that accurately keep time with 28,800 beats per hour. The PARACHROM hairspring with a Breguet overcoil is not sensitive to magnetic fields and is up to 10 times more resistant to shocks.
Water resistance-The Yachtmaster II is water-resistant to 100 meters. This feature gives wearers all the water protection they need for underwater hull inspections or repairs, as well as the occasional, leisurely post-regatta dip.
Triplock winding crown-The watch component most vulnerable to the intrusion of moisture, sand, and other substances is the crown. Rolex has virtually removed the possibility of harm with the triplock winding crown. This unique assembly includes a rubber o-ring gasket near the base and a finely threaded base that locks the crown in place in-between settings.
The Yachtmaster II has many other desirable attributes, including:
The Ring Command bezel and countdown timer-This bezel represents a leap forward for Rolex engineering and design. It must have been devilishly difficult to accomplish, too; it allows the owner to program the watch for yacht racing. A programmable digital watch would be unremarkable; however, since the Yachtmaster II is made of moving parts, it is a technical triumph. The Ring Command bezel rotates counter-clockwise to 90 degrees, allowing the owner to program a race countdown between one and ten minutes in length. This feature allows a skipper to see how much time he or she has to get the vessel in position for the staggered starts of the regatta race.
An invaluable tool for serious, competitive yacht racers, the programmable countdown feature can be started or stopped by the push button at the 2 o'clock position. The programming can be cleared by pressing the button at the 4 o'clock position. The fact that this programming is made possible by moving parts within the Yachtmaster II and not aided by a memory chip exemplifies Rolex's dedication to remaining at the forefront of watch making.
Composition materials-Available in 18-carat yellow gold or 18-carat white gold with a striking blue ceramic bezel, the Yachtmaster II is crafted with the same attention to detail that Rolex puts into every model. The Oyster bracelet is also made of solid white or yellow gold and fitted with an Oysterlock clasp featuring the customary polished edges.
The Oyster Perpetual Rolex Yachtmaster II regatta chronograph is a technical marvel built specifically to serve serious sailors all over the world. Whether owners buy it for its looks, functionality, durability, programmability, or a combination of all these virtues, it's easy to see that with the Yachtmaster II, there's no hype at all. As the late, great baseball pitcher Dizzy Dean once said, "It ain't bragging if you can do it.
