a new luxury lifestyle

The dawn of the Yacht-Master

More luxurious than the Submariner, sportier than the Datejust and dressier than the GMT-Master, this was the timepiece superyacht owners had been waiting for. While Rolex has long been a supporter of yachting and experimented with a Yacht-Master dial prototype based on the Cosmograph in the 1960s, it was not until the 1990s that the brand introduced a watch explicitly dedicated to the nautical lifestyle. The first model to launch the Yacht-Master collection was the Yacht-Master ref. 16628. Initially exclusively available in 18 carat yellow gold, it was clear from the start that Rolex wanted to position the Yacht-Master above the regular sports watch with plenty of style and flair.

A succesfull partnership

Rolex & Yachting

Rolex's official link with the sailing world began in 1958 when it signed a sponsorship agreement with the New York Yacht Club (NYYC), the driving force behind the oldest regatta in sailing - the America's Cup. Since then, Rolex has sponsored the world's most prestigious regattas and sailing races.

The Sailor's Watch

Yacht-Master

The Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced in 1992 and was the first Rolex specially designed for sailors. The rotating bezel together with the minute hand can be used as a chronometer for navigation purposes.

In the right time

A special kind of sea dweller

Every Rolex is special and has its own special story. That's clear. At the end of the day, it's something special that every watch manufacturer's advertising tries to entice us with. But: the Rolex Deepsea D-Blue is - truly - something special.

green even greener

You almost get the impression that Rolex did everything wrong when they robbed the Rolex Submariner LV of its green dial. Or were they putting an end to a trend in Geneva that all the well-known watch manufacturers were only gradually jumping on, a good decade after the launch of the "Hulk"?
