Watches In The Wild The Road Through America, Episode 1: A Model Of Mass Production

There is big news, and there is Rolex big news, and in some ways, ne'er the twain shall meet. At Baselworld this year, Rolex debuted a first for the company: the very first, ever, Rolex delivered on a rubber strap. Now, for most companies this would have little effect on watch enthusiasts other than to evoke (very) tepid interest at best, and boredom at worst – but this is not an ordinary rubber strap, this is an official, designed-and-tested-and-thoroughly-obsessed-over-by-Rolex rubber strap. And thereby hangs a tale.

The Yachtmaster, as we have mentioned in some of our previous coverage , occupies a somewhat particular place in Rolex’s lineup of sports watches; it shares water-resistance and a turning bezel with the Submariner (the latter is water resistant to 300 m while the Yachtmaster standard model is water resistant to 100 m). It is certainly not a tool watch; the Yachtmaster is offered in either platinum and steel, or gold and steel (that’s Rolesium and Rolesor, lest we forget) and is either quietly or unequivocally luxurious depending on what size and metal you go for (Rolex makes the Yachtmaster in both 35 mm and 40 mm sizes). 

The Yachtmaster’s history goes back to the first introduction of the watch in 1992, although the name, interestingly enough, appears on the dial of a prototype Yachtmaster Chronograph from the late 1960s (a watch so legendary I am actually forced to use the word; one of three known is in the collection of Mr. John Goldberger; we covered it – and a host of other remarkable ultra-rare watches from his collection – in a very memorable episode of Talking Watches ).

The term “Yachtmaster” is also, incidentally, used for a certificate of competency in yachting which is issued by the Royal Yachting Association, although we’re unaware of any specific association between the RYA and the Yachtmaster watch.

Now, this newest version of the Yachtmaster does take a few pages from the existing Yachtmaster playbook: 100-meter water resistance, a bidirectional turning bezel, and a dial and hands that echo the Submariner. There are also a couple of features that may make vintage Sub enthusiasts wonder if Rolex mightn’t have an exceedingly subtle sense of humor; the gilt coronet and “Rolex,” and the red lettering, both features which according to HODINKEE founder Ben Clymer would have, had they appeared on a Rolex dive watch, made it instantly the single most popular watch in the modern Rolex inventory. The case is rose gold – Rolex famously makes their own, called Everose, in their own foundry, with a bit of platinum mixed in to prevent discoloration – and the bezel, rather than being some other precious metal (as is the case in the “standard” Yachtmasters) is in black Cerachrom – a very technical-looking matte black that contrasts sharply with the gold case. Somehow, between the rose gold, the Cerachrom bezel, and the new Oysterflex bracelet this manages to be the most luxurious and at the same time most technical Yachtmaster yet (leaving aside the Yachtmaster II, which we recently reviewed right here , but that is a watch that marches to the beat of a different drummer entirely).

The two different versions of the Everose Yachtmaster (40 mm and 37 mm) sport different movements; the larger uses the caliber 3135 and the smaller, the newer 2236, which sports the “Syloxi” silicon balance spring (first used by Rolex in 2014).

The Oysterflex bracelet is, in a nutshell, quite a piece of work. One of the most endearing traits of Rolex as a company is that it tends to demonstrate what we can only describe as a laudable degree of corporate obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to research and development, and it does so, often, without making any sort of fanfare about it at all. In this case we do know a little bit about the Oysterflex, however – it is basically designed to have the hypoallergenic and comfort properties of a rubber strap and the durability and shape-retention properties of a bracelet. 

At the core of the Oysterflex bracelet are metal inserts made of titanium and nickel, which are used to affix the bracelet to the clasp and watch case; over those is a sheathing of “high-performance black elastomer.” “Elastomer” is a portmanteau word, formed from “elastic” and “polymer” and is a general term for natural and synthetic rubbers. In addition to the materials complexity of the Oysterflex bracelet, it is also shaped in a rather unusual fashion – there are ridges molded into the the wristward face of the bracelet, which are intended to allow the bracelet when worn to better approximate the natural curvature of the wrist.

They might look a bit odd but in practice, the design works out quite wonderfully; this is easily the most downright comfortable and organic-feeling rubber strap I have ever worn, and like the entire watch manages to be both extremely technical in feel, and very luxurious at the same time; I doubt whether any company has ever taken so much trouble over the design of a strap (for all that Rolex prefers the term “bracelet” in describing the Oysterflex, habit dies hard and you’ll probably find yourself calling it a strap, just as we did). On the wrist, the two stabilizing ridges do exactly what they are supposed to: keep the watch from shifting, as heavier watches on rubber straps are wont to do, without requiring you to have the strap uncomfortably tight. The Everose Oysterlock clasp does a superb job mechanically and also looks fabulous into the bargain; the quality of finish on the clasp and case may not seem terribly elaborate at first, but it is as technically flawless as anything I have ever seen at any price, on any watch.

What we have here, in other words, is a very Rolex interpretation of luxury. Yes, this is a gold watch, and a gold Rolex, and wearing a gold Rolex always carries with it, shall we say, certain semiotic complexities. However there is also another side to the watch, and to the Rolex approach to luxury in general: the taking of such pains to produce technical perfection that technical perfection becomes a luxury in itself.

The Everose Rolex Yachtmaster, in Rolex Everose, with Everose Oysterclasp and Oysterflex bracelet, as shown, $22,000 in 37 mm, and $24,950 in 40 mm. For more info, check out Rolex.com.

Rolesium Yacht-Master 116622

With its debut just two years ago at Baselworld 2016, the Yacht-Master ref. 116622 has quickly established itself as a coveted Rolex luxury watch. Part sporty part precious, this modern Rolesium Yacht-Master 40 plays up both sides beautifully. Let’s explore all the glorious details.

The Rolesium Yacht-Master 40

Whereas Rolesor refers to Rolex combining steel and gold on a two-tone watch, Rolesium is when rugged stainless steel and ultra-precious platinum meet on a Rolex watch. The Rolex ref. 116622 is indeed a Rolesium Yacht-Master model where the 40mm Oyster case and sporty Oyster bracelet are crafted in stainless steel while the bezel is made from platinum.

Although steel and platinum are both white metals – thus lend a monochromatic look to the watch – the Yacht-Master offers great contrasting textures. From the opposing high-polished raised numerals on the bezel set against a sandblasted background to the polished center links on the bracelet flanked by the brushed-finish outer links, the Yacht-Master ref. 116622 is always interesting to look at.

In terms of dial options, there’s the dark rhodium dial accented with a turquoise seconds hand and the turquoise YACHT-MASTER text or the blue dial with red accents. There’s plenty of lume on the Rolesium Yacht-Master for ideal legibility in low light and of course, the signature date window at 3 o’clock along with the Cyclops magnification lens on the sapphire crystal.

The Yacht-Master’s Caliber 3135

Often dubbed as Rolex’s workhorse, the Caliber 3135 has been an important movement for the company since 1988. This particular automatic movement powers many of Rolex’s timepieces including the Rolesium Yacht-Master ref. 116622.

The Caliber 3135 provides a power reserve of around 48 hours and as of 2015—a year before the launch of the Yacht-Master ref. 116622—Rolex redefined their “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” designation to guarantee an impressive accuracy rating of -2/+2 seconds per day. The self-winding caliber also boasts the paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for improved resistance to magnetic fields and daily knocks.

Date Function

Naturally, as one of Rolex’s newer models, the Rolesium Yacht-Master 116622 includes the quickset date function where the date window is adjusted independently from the center timekeeping hands, in addition to the hacking feature where the seconds hands stops when the crown is pulled out for precise time-setting.

Ready For Marine Lifestyle

Finally, as its name suggests, the Yacht-Master 40 is perfectly suited for a marine lifestyle thanks in part to its 100-meter (330 feet) water resistance. To keep the water and dust out, there’s the Triplock screw-down winding crown and the fluted caseback.

A wonderful addition to the Rolex catalog, the   Rolesium Yacht-Master 40 is casually elegant, yet practical and durable. Just the thing to wear while sailing the seas.

Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622

What's it like to wear the rolex yacht-master.

| Wrist Size: 7 inch

Before we get to my Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 review, we need some background. In 1992 Rolex introduced a watch that shared the silhouette of their beloved Submariner but in solid 18k yellow gold, embossed YG bezel insert soldered to the bezel, funky white dial, and the unusual name “Yacht-Master” written where “Submariner” would normally live. People then and now still wonder.. “Why?”.

Rumor has it Rolex wanted to drastically update the Submariner but were scared that the changes were too extreme. The Submariner was essentially their poster child and arguably their most iconic watch. Fearing backlash, they created a whole new line. Rolex rarely creates completely new watches, the last time they made a new watch before the Rolex Yacht-Master was in 1964 when the Daytona was introduced. Luckily it paid off as the Yacht-Master was pretty well received!

Even though the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 at first glance looks very similar to the Submariner it’s a totally different wearing experience. The case shape is completely different from the Sub. Its case profile is composed of compound curves with the lugs swooping downwards very similar to a Daytona, the case is also fully polished. My particular Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 being Roleisum (Rolex’s term for the combination of Platinum and Steel which was first introduced in 1999 with the ref. 16622), in combination with the blue sunburst dial and red accents, gives it such a unique aesthetic it sets it apart in Rolex’s catalog. Rolex I think perfected their blue dials, it’s absolutely gorgeous! Pictures do not do it justice whatsoever. In person, it appears much darker, almost black however in direct light that’s when the striking blue hue pops. The date function is also very convenient!

What is it like to wear a Rolex Yacht-Master? I would describe it as the most comfortable and stressful watch I have ever worn and owned. What most people don’t realize is that it’s a thin watch and I mean THIN. At 11.5mm it’s just as thin or even thinner than a 34mm 114200 Air-King! Like what? The case hugs your wrist amazingly while the oyster bracelet seems to caress you. It makes you want to wear it every single day, I mean how could you not? Thin, sporty, beautiful, comfortable and low key a strap monster. Until you see a scratch or nick on the solid Platinum bezel insert, call up Rolex Service Center to see how much it would be to replace it and they slap you in the face with a $2500 (before taxes) quote for JUST the bezel/bezel insert assembly (they’re soldered together remember?). Then you think “Okay, okay which Seiko ’s do I sell to cover the cost of a freaking bezel”. Did I mention the case is fully polished?

Has this ever happened to me? No, because I’m extremely OCD, however I was curious and called RSC, I also used to own the 16622 and was trained to wear long sleeves only, only wear it sparingly, cover my wrist when walking through doorways, never let it touch denim (yes, denim will scratch it apparently), and for all I know never sneeze near it or even look at it too long because for all I know that could probably scratch it too. To top it all off, of COURSE the bracelet and clasp has Polished Center Links! While I am exaggerating the fragility of the Rolex Yacht-Master, the stress of potentially scuffing it is real.

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 is arguably one of my favorite watches ever made. I never thought I’d ever get to own one. It’s beautiful, ridiculously comfortable, relatively uncommon, however so stressful to wear. I have owned it for almost exactly one year and I personally try to enjoy every second I wear it; I even strap changed it with zero scuffs! I have and I do but my OCD and extreme caution lends itself to be a difficult one to fully appreciate without worry. I’ve debated if this watch was right for me all the time. However, I would recommend this watch to anyone minutely interested. I have no regrets having owned two of them like an insane person, but who in the watch collecting world isn’t insane?

Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622

• Very comfortable to wear.
• Beautiful aesthetics.
• Has many color ways.
• Stressful to wear.

Rolex yacht-master i – maritim & sportlich.

Hissen Sie die Segel und legen Sie die Rolex Yacht-Master I an – schon kann die nächste Regatta beginnen. Die elegante Sportuhr begeistert sowohl Männer als auch Frauen dank des stilvollen und zeitlosen Designs. Modelle der Kollektion sind der optimale Begleiter für Tage an Deck sowie Nächten im Hafen. Bei CHRONEXT können Sie eine große Auswahl an Yacht-Master I Modellen online kaufen – zu attraktiven Preisen und mit 24-monatiger CHRONEXT-Garantie.

Ein eleganter Zeitmesser der Meisterklasse

Mit der legendären Rolex Yacht-Master setzt Rolex ein klares Statement und bringt den Markennamen noch enger mit dem Segelsport in Verbindung. Das Schweizer Unternehmen ist schließlich ein renommierter Sponsor von zahlreichen Regatten. Jährlich nehmen die abenteuerlustigen Regattenfahrer an diesen international renommierten Wettkämpfen teil – der Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup ist einer der berühmtesten davon.

Bei Wind und Wellen präsentiert sich die Yacht-Master I, das Schwestermodell der großen Yacht-Master II , mit einer Wasserdichtigkeit von 100 Metern als eine stetig treue Gefährtin der Abenteurer und gehört zu einer optimalen Ausrüstung der Segelsportler. Neben ihrer beeindruckenden Performance auf offener See kann sie aber auch auf dem Festland in einer entspannten Yachtclub-Lounge bezaubern. Die Modelle der Kollektion, welche über ein blaues Zifferblatt verfügen (Ref. 116622), deuten dezent und edel auf die maritime Einsatzfähigkeit dieser Uhren hin. Die Modelle mit dem platinfarbenen Zifferblatt (Ref. 116622) bestechen durch ihre klare Eleganz und sind als Herrenuhren sowie als Damenuhren gleichermaßen beliebt.

Was kostet eine Rolex Yacht-Master?

Die Wertentwicklung der Yacht-Master ist wie bei allen Rolex-Modellen beeindruckend. Auch der Rolex Yacht-Master Preis ist in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen – nicht zuletzt aufgrund der immer weiter steigenden Beliebtheit dieses Modells. Da die Yacht-Master und die Yacht-Master 2 praktisch nicht zu Listenpreisen erhältlich sind, sind die Marktpreise entscheidend. Während die klassische fünfstellige Rolex 16622 für 11.000 bis 14.000 Euro erhältlich ist, kostet die aktuelle Rolex Yacht-Master Rhodium oder die Rolex Yacht-Master Blau (beide Rolex 126622) über 16.000 Euro. Die Rolex Yacht-Master Bicolor liegt bei ungefähr 20.000 Euro. Für Vollgold-Modelle am Oysterflex-Band beträgt der Marktpreis je nach Modell zwischen 30.000 Euro und 40.000 Euro. Rolex Yacht-Master Damen Modelle ab 29 mm sind ab 6.000 Euro erhältlich.

Die Rolex Yacht-Master 2 aus Edelstahl kostet mindestens 20.000 Euro, die Rolex Yacht-Master 2 Gold ist in der Regel nicht unter 40.000 Euro verfügbar.

Die noble Welt der Rolex Yacht-Master

1992 präsentierte die Manufaktur aus Genf eine neue Uhr aus der Familie Oyster Perpetual: Die Rolex Yacht-Master (Ref. 16628). Die Branchenkenner erkannten sofort die Ähnlichkeit zum ewigen Klassike: der Submariner . Im Gegensatz zu diesem Dauer-Bestseller bewegte sich die Rolex Yacht-Master von Beginn an in höheren Preis-Klassen und wurde zunächst ausschließlich mit einem Goldgehäuse gefertigt.

Die beiden Armbanduhren ergänzen sich vorzüglich, denn während sich die Submariner sicher in der Unterwasserwelt zurechtfindet, weiß die Rolex Yacht-Master (Ref. 116622) an Deck einer Regatta und an Land zu überzeugen. Gegensätzlich zu der klassischen Taucheruhr lässt sich die Lünette in beide Richtungen drehen, wodurch eine exakte Fahrtzeitbestimmung auf offener See möglich wird. Teils aus Materialien wie 18 Karat Gelbgold oder Platin 950 gefertigt und mit einer 60-Minuten-Graduierung im Relief, besticht die Lünette durch pure Eleganz und hohe Funktionalität. Des Weiteren begeistern die großen Indizes und Zeiger, die sich auf dem strahlend blauen oder perlmuttfarbenen Zifferblatt präsentieren, mit einer zuverlässigen Ablesbarkeit in allen Einsatzbedingungen. Hergestellt aus demselben kratzfesten Saphirglas, aus dem auch das Uhrglas besteht, garantiert die Zykloplupe mit einer doppelten Antireflexbeschichtung ein noch komfortableres Ablesen des Datums.

Sport und Luxus in einer Uhr

Zuverlässig und präzise: Das aktuelle 40 Millimeter große Modell der Rolex Yacht-Master (Ref. 116622) ist mit dem Manufakturkaliber 3135 ausgestattet, während das kleinere Modell mit dem 35-Millimeter-Gehäuse das Kaliber 2235 enthält. Diese von Rolex entwickelten Automatik-Uhrwerke wurden von der offiziellen schweizerischen Chronometerprüfstelle COSC zertifiziert, sodass sie Ihnen besondere Präzision und Zuverlässigkeit gewährleisten.

Robust und fest wie eine Auster: Wie alle Oyster-Uhren verfügt auch die Yacht-Master über ein verschraubtes, wasserdichtes Gehäuse. Die aus paramagnetischem Stahl gefertigte Parachrom-Breguetspirale im Werkinneren bleibt unbeeinflusst von Magnetfeldern und hält Erschütterungen bis zu zehnmal besser stand als herkömmliche Spiralfedern. Auch das Oyster-Band, ein Produkt aus Funktion, Schönheit und Technik, begeistert durch extreme Widerstandsfähigkeit und Tragekomfort. In der Oyster Kollektion ist das dreireihige Metallarmband mit seinen breiten flachen Elementen am weitesten verbreitet.

Edle Materialien und luxuriöse Verarbeitung

Ein erster Prototyp der Rolex Yacht-Master wurde bereits in den 60er Jahren entwickelt. Doch erst im Jahre 1992 erblickte die erste Version (Ref. 16628) aus 18 Karat Gold und mit einem weißen Zifferblatt das Licht der Welt.

Schließlich wurden im Jahr 1994 auch kleinere Modelle mit einem Gehäusedurchmesser von 35 Millimeter (Ref. 68628) oder Modell mit 29-Millimeter-Durchmesser (Ref. 69628) für Damen oder Herren mit schmaleren Handgelenken lanciert.

Im Jahre 1999 brachte Rolex dann die neue Yacht-Master (Ref. 16622) mit einem luxuriösen Mix aus makellosem Edelstahl und Platin hervor. Bei diesem Modell sind Lünette und Zifferblatt aus bestechendem Platin gefertigt. Seitdem hat sich das von Rolex erfundene Kunstwort „Rolesium“ eingebürgert, das diese außergewöhnliche Kombination aus Edelstahl und Platin bezeichnet.

Das Jahr 2005 brachte das neue Modell der Rolex Yacht-Master (Ref. 16623) mit einem Rolesor-Gehäuse, einem Material-Mix von Gold und Edelstahl. Somit erfreut die Auswahl an neuen und gebrauchten Yacht-Master Modellen mit einer breiten Vielfalt an Gehäusegrößen, Materialien und Zifferblattfarben, was für die Genfer Marke eher ungewöhnlich ist. Ob Damenuhr oder Herrenuhr – die Modelle schmiegen sich erhaben um jedes Handgelenk.

Meister der Materialien

Kaum ein anderes Rolex-Modell ist für eine so große Vielfalt an Materialien bekannt wie die Rolex Yacht-Master. Nachdem der Zeitmesser zunächst als luxuriöse Gelbgold-Uhr (Ref. 16628) im Jahr 1992 auf den Markt kam, stellte die Genfer Manufaktur im Jahr 1999 mit der Rolex 16622 die Weichen für die enorme Vielseitigkeit, die die Yacht-Master im Laufe der Zeit auszeichnen sollte: Diese Referenz verfügte erstmals in der Geschichte von Rolex über einen luxuriösen Material-Mix aus Edelstahl und Platin namens Rolesium. Während das Gehäuse und das Armband dieser Rolex Yacht-Master aus Edelstahl gefertigt waren, verwendete Rolex für die Lünette Platin 950. Seit jeher ist im Zusammenhang mit der Rolex Yacht-Master Platin das bekannteste und charakteristischste Material. Das feine Material kommt auch in der aktuellen Rolex 126622 zu Anwendung – zum Beispiel in der Rolex Yacht-Master Rhodium oder der Rolex Yacht-Master Blau – und verleiht der Lünette einen unverwechselbar lebhaften Glanz.

Rolesium, Gelbgold, Weißgold und Everose-Gold

Ein Highlight der Yacht-Master-Kollektion ist die Verfügbarkeit sämtlicher Gold-Legierungen: Während Professional-Modelle wie die Rolex Submariner oder die Rolex GMT-Master nur in ausgewählten Goldlegierungen erhältlich sind, verwendet Rolex für die Yacht-Master alle Goldlegierungen der Manufaktur: - Rolex Yacht-Master Gelbgold - Rolex Yacht-Master Rosé Gold (Everose-Gold) - Rolex Yacht-Master Weißgold

Gold trifft auf Kautschuk

Auch bei der Wahl der Armbänder gibt sich Rolex als Meister der Materialien: Das sportliche Kautschuk-Armband hört auf den Namen „Oysterflex“ und besteht aus einem elastischen Metallmantel, der von hochwertigen Kautschuk überzogen wird. Die innovative Kombination beider Werkstoffe sorgt für ein unvergleichlichen Tragekomfort und eine hohe Lebensdauer.

Das Oysterflex-Armband wurde im Jahr 2015 präsentiert und zunächst ausschließlich für die Rolex Yacht-Master 37 und die gleichzeitig lancierte Rolex Yacht-Master 40 angeboten. Inzwischen wurden die Rolex Yacht-Master Kautschuk Modelle um die Rolex Yacht-Master 42 erweitert. Bis heute ist das Oysterflex-Armband exklusiv für Vollgold-Modelle erhältlich. Damit bietet Rolex eine avantgardistische Material-Kombination an, die 1980 erstmals von Hublot präsentiert wurde und dem luxuriösen Gold-Look einen sportlich-legeren Akzent verleiht.

Luxuriös und wandelbar

Vielseitig in der Verwendbarkeit, richten sich die aktuellen Modelle der Yacht-Master I bedingt durch das mannigfaltige Angebot an Damen und Herren gleichermaßen. Für Damen eignen sich besonders die Modelle mit einer Größe von 35 Millimetern. Dabei begeistert das Modell mit dem weißen Zifferblatt und der edlen Fertigung aus Edelstahl und Platin (Ref. 168622) oder auch das Modell mit dem goldfarbenen Zifferblatt und den luxuriösen Materialien Edelstahl und Gelbgold (Ref. 168623).

Für Herren sind die Modelle mit einem Gehäusedurchmesser von 40 mm ansprechender. Auch sie überzeugen mit einem wunderschönen weißen oder blauen Zifferblatt und erfreuen entweder mit Edelstahl und Platin (Ref. 116622) oder dem beliebten Mix aus Edelstahl und Gelbgold (Ref. 16623). Aufgrund der Verwendung hochwertiger Materialien wie Platin oder Gold, fällt der Preis der Rolex Yacht-Master höher aus. Solch eine wertvolle Uhr eignet sich auch als Geldanlage und erzielt noch im Wiederverkauf gute Preise. Um in den preiswerteren Genuss einer Yacht-Master zu gelangen, erweist sich der Kauf einer gebrauchten Uhr als vielversprechend. Vintage-Modelle haben meist spannende Geschichten zu erzählen und überzeugen durch ihre nachgewiesene Zeitlosigkeit.

Would Lil Yachty rock this Rolex Yacht-Master 40? Who knows, but it’s cool

Editor’s note: If you ever want to flex down at the NBAYOUNGBOAT Club, you want to have the appropriate attire — jacket, loafers, watch. And when it comes to the latter, we suggest the Yacht-Master. Surely, Lil Yachty would approve. 

This cool, calm and collected new Yacht-Master almost slipped past me. I was too busy falling in love (again) with the gold and chocolate Rolesor Yacht-Master, which was distracting me and dazzling my senses. But then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a flash of almost-iridescent blue, and my curiosity was piqued.

I’m so glad it was, because this steel and platinum Yacht-Master, with its dark rhodium dial and blue highlights, is an absolute stunner, even though it’s a much more restrained affair than its Everose-embellished siblings (in both Rolesor and Oysterflex variants). This is partly down to the dark dial, but it’s also the bi-directional platinum bezel, which might sound weird given the material, but with a predominantly sand-blasted finish, it’s actually far less in-your-face than ceramic. Not that it’s plain, by any stretch. The shimmering dial, polished bezel elements and centre bracelet links means it pops where it counts, and the overall effect of metallic grey on metallic grey adds up to a truly luxurious watch on the wrist.

Then there’s the blue. It’s funny how that single line of text and sweeping second hand — a comparatively small amount of real estate — can have such massive impact on the general feel of the watch. This bright slash of colour adds energy to the Yacht-Master, once again proving Rolex’s mastery of the minuscule.

Aside from that, it’s business as usual. You have the 40mm case, rated to 100m, robust 3135 calibre, with 49 hours of power reserve, and Parachrom hairspring, all backed by the Superlative Chronometer standard, which guarantees -2/+2 seconds of accuracy per day, after casing.

Rolex has spoiled us for choice this year, with the attention-grabbing Daytona, the youthful Air-King and numerous two-tone options. But if you prefer your Rolex to be more stealth than statement, you can’t go wrong with this excellent new steel and platinum Yacht-Master 40.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.

Oyster Perpetual

Yacht-Master

Stay the course, mapping invisible routes.

For those at sea, staying the course is a constant challenge. Defying the laws of logic, bearings can be lost suddenly in difficult conditions, thus requiring adaptability and the capacity to react quickly. Since 1992, the Yacht-Master – equipped with a bidirectional rotatable bezel – has become the established watch of masterful sailors who know how to react in order to keep their heading, in any situation.

Technical and elegant, the Yacht-Master is a reliable nautical instrument.

Bidirectional rotatable bezel

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from precious metal (gold or platinum) or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-technology ceramic. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt 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.

Oysterflex bracelet

This technical bracelet, developed by Rolex and patented, singularly combines the robustness and reliability of a metal bracelet with the suppleness, comfort and aesthetics of an elastomer strap.
