Staying on course
The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in 18 ct white gold with a black dial and 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 white 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 white gold
Commitment to excellence
By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white.
They are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with the same painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.
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.
Exceptional legibility
Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 42 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.

Matte black bezel. need i say more.
From a distance, you'd be forgiven for not even realizing that this watch is a new introduction to Rolex's collection. I mean, it looks so much like something that could have been in the catalog for decades, but it's actually as fresh as it gets. This is the first 42mm time-and-date Yacht-Master, offering a larger option for those who still find 40mm too conservative, and it comes with a sleek combination of a black dial and an unbelievable bezel made of white gold with a matte black Cerachrom insert. The markings on that insert are raised and polished and the result is totally stunning. Inside is the caliber 3235, which is Rolex's most state-of-the-art, time-and-date movement. It uses the Chronergy high-efficiency escapement and is regulated to a crazy +2/-2 seconds per day. If you liked the Everose gold Yacht-Master introduced back in 2015 but wanted something bigger and sleeker (and somehow even more reliable), your prayers have been answered.
The Yacht-Master line can be a bit confusing, even for people who know their Rolex references backwards and forwards. First off, like with the Explorer, there's a standard Yacht-Master (which is what you're looking at here) and a Yacht-Master II (which is 44mm and has a regatta timer complication). As far as the simpler time-and-date models go, there are now three sizes: 37mm, 40mm, and 42mm. There are a mix of metal configurations, including steel and platinum, steel and Everose gold, all Everose gold, and now all white gold. And don't even get me started on the various incarnations of the Oyster bracelet and Oysterflex bracelet that you can choose from.
For me, the new Yacht-Master 42, despite adding a bunch of new options to the mix, is the purest expression of the model yet. The white gold case is luxe and hefty while still giving off the appearance of being a hearty tool watch, the matte black bezel is straight-up mean looking, and the Oysterflex bracelet is practical and casual. This is a watch for someone who wants to look low-key but likes things just so. And I can squarely get behind that.

Hands-On Rolex Yacht-Master II Review
So, I got a YachtMaster II. But hear me out… It was an insanely, and undeserved gift (“the company you keep”, right?). This got me to thinking about a lot of Rolexes offerings , and brought me around to the idea that the Yacht-Master II, no matter how niche a complication, no matter how specific, no matter how big, no matter how ridiculous - Might be one of my favorite models - And I’m not just saying that because I didn’t actually make the purchase.
Let me clear the elephant in the room. That’s the “You’re just saying you like the watch because it was free” statement that is absolutely BOUND to shroud my DM’s after this goes live. And that’s fine, I expect it, I welcome it, and I recognize the privilege that I’m projecting here. However, I would like to clear the air on where this review is going to come from - I have had plenty, and I mean PLENTY of opportunity to buy, sell, handle, photograph, and write about Rolex in the past decade. While I have on occasion, I’ve never particularly found Rolex to be a terribly interesting brand to review. Incremental changes over decades and decades tend to run together, and very few of those changes are worth lengthy, wrist-time in order to trump the (literal) thousands of reviews on the internet already - So I’ve mostly passed up on writing any kind of in-depth article or review on the brand. I’ve always felt that was better left for the Rolex boys, who are probably more qualified than myself to write about them anyway.
That is, until I have been wearing this particular model for a decent period of time. I started to notice that so many of the Rolex Yacht-Master II reviews on the internet, have often come from people who are attempting to sell you the watch. With the exception of a few “Hands On” articles floating around, I have had a very difficult time finding an open and honest review of this particular watch from someone who has actually owned one, and has worn it for a significant portion of time. So that is what I’m going to attempt to do here. This is going to be a wordy, however, comprehensive review of the Rolex Yacht-Master II (Ref 116680) - Arguably the most polarizing modern watch Rolex has produced.
If you’ve been around Rolex circles for any serious amount of time, you’ll likely have heard that the Yacht-Master II is simply too large of a watch for Rolex to have made - And to be fair, it’s very big by Rolex standards. The watch is the only Rolex produced that measures in at 44mm with a significant 14mm thickness and is made of 904L Stainless Steel. So to the more introverted Rolex collector, this is probably not the watch for them. While this model is definitely heavy, I have never once felt this watch to be uncomfortable or a nuisance on the wrist.
I have seen a number of comments that the Yacht-Master II is too bulky and heavy, however I do not feel that is the case. In fact, my Omega Planet Ocean is only 42mm x 15.7mm, and feels much bulkier and heavier than the Yacht-Master II.
The case is alternating with polished and satin-finished and features a nautical blue ceramic bezel. The pushers are, as is Rolex’s MO, a perfect length. Even though I’m left handed, and therefore wear my watch on my right wrist, I had no issues with the pushers digging into my wrist, or catching on my sleeves. The rounded and tapered case, although thick, cleanly buffers between the oversized bezel and any sleeve you wish to pull over it. I live in Tampa FL, so I am always tucking it away under a sleeve… cause… I don’t want to get robbed in a parking lot.
The pushers are easy to use, cause it’s Rolex, and of course they are. The triple-lock crown screws down easy and fits tight against the case, so I never feel like there is any risk in the water - Even though the watch carries a 100m water resistance rating.
The bezel is often criticized for it’s ostentatious nature. I mean, there is no doubt what watch is on your wrist with the huge, bold, and easily seen “YACHT-MASTER II” etched into the bezel itself. The bezel function works with the movement (which we will get to in a minute), as it turns 90 degrees in order to program the indicators (which we’ll also get to). The matte finish with crescent grippers makes the bezel easy to use, and readily available when needed.
This is the ref. 116680, which means there were some moderate adjustments made to the dial by Rolex over the previous er… 116680 (Rolex opted not to change the reference number). Personally, I find them to be minimal, and unless you’re insanely familiar with the Yacht-Master II line of watches, will likely be largely unnoticed, but I feel it important to discuss anyway.
For starters, the indicators are not simply square all the way around the dial anymore. Instead of every indicator remaining the same shape and angle, the 12 o’ clock indice was changed to an elongated triangle to easily dictate the top of the watch. Additionally, the 6 o’clock indicator was changed to an elongated rectangle, again, to easily dictate it’s location. Is this likely to be a deal-breaker for Regatta enthusiasts when looking to time 60 second intervals with a flyback function? Probably not. But it does make the dial a lot more legible, and I suppose, a certain percentage more useful.
Additionally, the other major changes were too the handset. Instead of the heat treated blued handset of prior models, the 116680 features skeletonized hands with lumed tips and an added “mercedes” hour hand. This allows for the wearer to see the Regatta timer lap ring with minimal interruption - Although, I think the blue handset would have helped - The polished hands can get lost against the slick white dial in certain light. Lesser changes include some thickening of lines, a bit darker tint of blue, and some added lume.
Overall, the dial is exactly what you’d expect from Rolex. It’s superbly legible, displays the utility of the movement well, and is innately “Rolex”. The updates definitely add to the legibility, even when using the lap timer, however, I’ve never known a Rolex to really struggle in that department to begin with.
THE MOVEMENT:
Inside the Yacht-Master II is the Rolex Calibre 4161. The movement is formidable, and the functions make sense for the extremely specific times a captain would need to use it. Essentially, the “chronograph” functions as a 10 minute countdown sectioned off in “laps”. When activated, the movement counts the ten lap starting sequence of a regatta race.
Interestingly, because of the internal memory, the movement can be programmed for any position within the 1-10 sequence for even more precise timing. This can be done by rotating the “Command bezel” 90 degrees and pressing the start / stop pusher to adjust the position. Interestingly, Rolex boasts that it’s one of the first watches in the world to utilize a bezel in conjunction to the movement.
The 360+ part Calibre 4161 beats at 28,800 VpH, features a 72-hour power reserve, and Rolex’s Parachrom hairspring for better anti-magnetism.
THE BRACELET:
The watch comes on an Oystersteel bracelet with a pretty unique clasp feature that allows for the adjustment of the links to 5mm - or a half link. This was super handy for my wrist, because the watch sat just a hair too lose, but taking out a third link would cause the watch to flop around more than I’d like. Admittedly, I hadn’t had much experience with this feature, but learned on the fly how easy it was to use. Where the bracelet connects to the clasp, there is a little fold half link. You can either pull up and flip it back down to set it in place, or pull slightly back to release it. This either shortens, or lengthens the link. This is great for hot days when your wrist swells. And the added ability to do it quick, on the fly, and without tools was a huge bonus to the watches utility.
Obviously, there isn’t much improving on the Oyster bracelet. It’s insanely comfortable, it flexes perfectly when it needs to, it’s clasp is solid and doesn’t buckle (no pun intended) and it’s fit to the lugs is perfect for the watch.
The Yacht-Master II is very top-heavy, so it’s important for the bracelet to manage that efficiently, and this is Rolex we’re talking about, so it does. Are there times that swelling and moisture, and dirt / sand affect the comfort? Sure, but there’s nothing the bracelet can do to fix that.
CONCLUSION:
While, admittedly loud, I found myself leaning into the oversized and exaggerated nature of the watch more and more. Is it massive and recognizable? Yes. Obviously. Does it take away from the watch at all? No. I feel it compliments it. Rolex as a whole has a difficult time being identified without, it becoming your entire identity - If that makes any sense, and the Yacht-Master II case is one of the few (in my opinion) Rolex watches that comes with it’s own personality - even if that personality tends to get lumped in with the loud and obnoxiously rich people that tend to strive to own it.
As my first Rolex, I recognize that it’s not exactly the normal “First” for the brand, but I’ve grown to love the watch. In fact, I think it’s a staple in my collection. It’s hefty and legitimately feels like a sports watch worth wearing, and still classic and toned down enough to be a dinner watch. I don’t have much to fault the watch with that isn’t built into the foundations of what the watch is to begin with. I feel and criticism I could really throw at it would be met with “Yeah, we know, that’s the point”, and that just feels… well, pointless.
How much is the Rolex Yacht-Master II?
If you can find one at retail, you’re looking at a price tag of $18,700 USD but is going for around $24,000 to $29,000 on the secondary market.
Fed Up With Brightly Coloured Watches? Back to Basics with Six Classic White Dial Watches
Subtle but never out of fashion, white is the perfect antidote for the sensory overload of colourful dials..
Are you done with in-your-face splashes of colour ? Are you fed up with blue , yellow , red , green or perhaps even pink and purple ? Well, you’re in luck because we’ve been eyeballing a couple of very impressive watches with simple yet ever-fashionable pristine white dials. This almost blank canvas can serve any purpose, from simple single-handed unisex watches to field watches and even space-bound chronographs. So, with that in mind and a taste for something achromatic, here’s our selection of six white-dial beauties to balance out the onslaught of colour!
Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition
Exploration demands legibility in any type of instrument, and what’s better than black on white? Or, in the case of the Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition , beige and black on white? Available in either 37mm or 41mm, the white dial looks extremely crisp yet with a vintage touch thanks to the beige luminous inserts in the minute track and hands. Powered by the calibre H10 , which is Hamilton’s version of the Powermatic 80 , it won’t let you down, thanks to the generous 80 hours of running time. It comes on a khaki-green NATO strap for EUR 1,065 , a leather strap for EUR 1,115 or a steel bracelet for EUR 1,195 . All very sensible!
For more information, please visit HamiltonWatch.com .
Quick Facts – 37mm or 41mm x 11.5mm – stainless steel case – bidirectional compass bezel – sapphire crystal front & back – 100m water-resistant – white dial – Arabic numerals – luminous markers & hands – calibre H10 (Powermatic 80) – automatic winding – 21,600vph – 80h power reserve – hours, minutes, seconds – NATO textile strap, leather strap or stainless steel bracelet – EUR 1,065 (Nato) – EUR 1,115 (Leather) – EUR 1,195 (steel bracelet)
Rolex Sky-Dweller 336938
Rolex added two new versions of its most complex watch to date, the Sky-Dweller , to the collection this year , both executed in precious metal. Ref. 336938 comes in a 42mm wide yellow gold case with a fluted yellow gold Ring Command bezel and a matching brushed and polished Jubilee bracelet. This is offset with a stark white dial, serving as the backdrop for the applied gold markers and hands. As standard with the current generation of the Sky-Dweller, it comes with the calibre 9002 , which was updated slightly last year. The very practical and user-friendly Sky-Dweller in yellow gold and white dial retails for EUR 51,000 .
For more information, please visit Rolex.com .
Quick Facts – 42mm x 13.8mm – yellow gold case – fluted Ring Command bezel – sapphire crystal with cyclops – solid caseback – 100m water-resistant – white dial – applied gold markers & hands – Saros annual calendar – local & reference time – calibre 9002, in-house automatic – 28,800vph – 72h power reserve – brushed & polished Jubilee bracelet in gold – folding clasp with Easylink comfort extension – EUR 51,000
IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar
The numbers the IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar brings to the table are almost beyond comprehension: a gear that rotates once every 400 years, no adjustment needed until the year 3999, and a moon phase display accurate to 45 million years. But this time around, it’s the spectacular white dial that garners our attention instead! Made of glass, with white lacquer applied on the underside, it has a very unique look. The raised profile of the sub-dials and outer flange for the minutes track enhances the undeniable sense of depth even more. The platinum watch, worn on a leather strap, is yours for a rather hefty EUR 150,000 .
For more information, please visit IWC.com .
Quick Facts – 44.4mm x 15mm – platinum case, brushed & polished – double domed sapphire crystal front & back – 50m water-resistant – glass dial with white lacquer – profiled sub-dials & outer flange – eternal (secular) calendar display – IWC calibre 52640, in-house automatic – 28,800vph – 54 jewels – 7-day (168 hours) power reserve – Santoni black alligator leather strap – platinum folding buckle – CHF 150,000
Bvlgari Aluminium Automatic White
The Bvlgari Aluminium Automatic has always been a very good watch for hotter days due to its low weight and comfy segmented rubber strap. New to the collection for this year is the Aluminium Automatic White , perhaps the perfect watch for this year’s summer season. The rubber-clad bezel, dial and segmented strap are all finished in bright white, with only minimal touches of colour. The strongly contrasting markers and hands keep things perfectly legible, while the central seconds hand gets a touch of red to stand out. Powered by the ETA 2892 -based calibre B77, this 1,000-piece limited edition retails for EUR 3,450 .
For more information, please visit Bulgari.com .
Quick Facts – 40mm diameter – aluminium case with white rubber bezel, titanium caseback and crown – 100m water-resistance – white matte dial with rhodium-plated indices, hour markers and hands, Super-LumiNova on indices and hour and minute hands, date window at 3 o’clock – calibre B77 (ETA 2892 base), automatic – 28,800vph – 42h power reserve – white rubber strap with aluminium links and pin buckle – limited edition 1,000 pieces – EUR 3,450
Omega Speedmaster moonwatch professional master chronometer White Dial
Going from black to white can have a big impact, and it certainly does for the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional . The long-awaited white version enters the permanent collection for the first time ever, making it the only currently available ‘ Speedy ‘ in a steel case without a black dial. The strongly contrasting black markings and hands, with just a hint of red, evoke the spirit of the Alaska project watches , which is pretty cool!

MeisterSinger Neo
Last but not least, is the most minimalist watch of the bunch. Known and loved for its tranquil single-handed approach to watchmaking , MeisterSinger has recently updated its compact Neo with higher water-resistance and a sapphire crystal instead of acrylic. This specific 36mm wide model pairs a crisp ivory-white dial with black, blue and gold markings and a single needle-like hand. Mechanically, nothing has changed, so you still get 38 hours of power reserve from a Sellita SW200 automatic movement. The Ocean Blue leather strap pairs very well, and the new Neo retails for EUR 1,890 , a slight increase over the old one.

And that’s why we need a white dial Explorer!
Did that meistersinger receive an update, or did you measure the case without the crystal? If so, that isn’t really fair.
A couple of additional exemplary examples, admittedly out of the past: JLC Geophysic 1958 PP 5055G-010
The SkyDweller is nice but you will need very deep pockets a common symptom these days.
That white dial Speedmaster is the best Omega watch released in the past 2 years – simply fantastic, and so versatile!
“Back to basics” with a couple of watches north of 50.000 respectively 15.000 Euros? Wow. I think it’s fair to say that the Hamilton is the token affordable one here.
But you’re missing out on thinks like the Junghans Meister and Max Bill watches, Stowa Marine 36, white-dialled Seiko Sharp Edge, Archimede Klassik 200, the OG Nomos Club campus with the white dial, the white Formex Essence 39, a whole slew of Seiko dive watches with white dials that got released recently, and so, so many more.
There are plenty of options in the affordable section, even up to some white dialled Aqua Terra’s, if you want something from Omega at 60% of the price of that speedy. Never have the words “Back to Basics” been so ill chosen.
I meant 150.000, not 15.000. Still, even at 15.000, the point sort of survives.

In fact, my Omega Planet Ocean is only 42mm x 15.7mm, and feels much bulkier and heavier than the Yacht-Master II. The case is alternating with polished and satin-finished and features a nautical blue ceramic bezel. The pushers are, as is Rolex's MO, a perfect length. Even though I'm left handed, and therefore wear my watch on my right ...
