Rolex yacht-master ii watch review.

The Rolex Yacht-Master II is the dominant sports watch model from the Rolex brand. On this review, Eric shows you the different types of Yacht-Master II’s and the functionality and purpose behind the model.

The Yacht-Master II was released by Rolex in 2010. The watch was equipped with Rolex’s new 4161 movement and featured Rolex’s Ring Command bezel for the first time, which is a main component behind the countdown timer functionality of the model.

At 44mm, the Yacht-Master II is tied with the Deepsea as the largest watch of the Rolex brand. Unfortunately, the Deepsea tends to be a lot taller than the Yacht-Master II , making the Deepsea look a lot more conspicuous on a man’s wrist.

The YM2 also features an Oyster bracelet with an Oysterlock clasp.

Is the Yacht-Master II a Chrono?

Many people mistake the Rolex Yacht-Master II for a chronograph, but it isn’t. It simply has a 10-minute countdown timer that is popular in regatta races.

On the video, you will see how the boating race timer is set and how it counts down. The timer can actually be set to count down from 10 minutes or less; 9 minutes, 8 minutes, etc.

For Eric, the size of the watch, the white dial-blue bezel combination, and its overall balanced look makes it the perfect sports model and definitely one that belongs in the arsenal of any serious watch collector.

The only thing Eric does not like from the Rolex Yacht-Master II design, even though he’s gotten more used to it throughout the years, is the way Rolex inscribes the actual model name on the bezel. This was too much of a commercialized moved by the Swiss watchmaker in Eric’s opinion.

Yacht-Master II Variations and Prices

The Rolex Yacht-Master II is available in yellow gold, two-tone, and stainless steel. Good prices for these variations (when the video was released on October 2015) are $28,500, $18,500 and $13,500 respectively.

The price of a new Rolex Yacht-Master II will be around $2,000 more than the above (circa video release date).

Eric’s favorite variation of the YM2 timepiece is the stainless steel version.

As far as the Watch Game is concerned, the Yacht-Master II is the perfect watch to take out on a boat or beach event; that is, if you want to make heads turn. It’s definitely a serious piece in Eric’s book!

Staying on course

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 40 in 18 ct Everose gold with an Oysterflex bracelet.

The oysterflex bracelet, highly resistant and durable.

The Yacht-Master’s new Oysterflex bracelet, developed by Rolex and patented, offers a sporty alternative to metal bracelets. The bracelet attaches to the watch case and the Oysterlock safety clasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade.

The blade is overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer which is particularly resistant to environmental effects, very durable and perfectly inert for the wearer of the watch. For enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with a patented longitudinal cushion system that stabilizes the watch on the wrist and fitted with an 18 ct Everose gold Oysterlock safety clasp. It also features the Rolex Glidelock extension system, designed by the brand and patented. This inventive toothed mechanism, integrated beneath the clasp, allows fine adjustment of the bracelet length by some 15 mm in increments of approximately 2.5 mm, without the use of tools.

18 ct Everose gold

An exclusive patent

To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created and patented an exclusive 18 ct pink gold alloy cast in its own foundry: Everose gold.

Introduced in 2005, 18 ct Everose is used on all Rolex Oyster models in pink gold.

Bidirectional Rotatable Bezel

Timing the distance.

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from precious metals or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-tech ceramic. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background.

This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

Intense black dial

Exceptional legibility.

Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 40 offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display.

The broad hands and hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.

The Rolex Yacht-Master II: How does it work, and why is it so
To set the timer on the Rolex Yacht-Master II, begin by turning the bezel until it clicks into place. This happens when the "1" on the bezel is around the 12 o'clock position. Then, press the push-piece at 4 o'clock, which will stay engaged. Once you unscrew the crown, you can set the duration of the countdown in minutes.
