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 matte, 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

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.

RLX titanium

RLX titanium is a grade 5 titanium alloy specially selected by Rolex. Like all titanium alloys, it is especially lightweight and is noted for its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Another characteristic of RLX titanium is the possibility of working it to give a polished or satin finish according to the brand's specifications. Its high mechanical strength makes it complex to work with, and the decision to use it has required the introduction of special production processes.

Oyster Perpetual

Yacht-Master 42

An emblematic watch in rlx titanium.

The emblematic watch of the sailing world, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 is now available in RLX titanium. More than a simple variation, the use of this new, robust and light material required the development of particular industrial techniques, allowing the metal to be manipulated with the utmost care. Advantages proven by Sir Ben Ainslie, renowned skipper and luminary of the SailGP, who tested a Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium exclusively created for him, enabling the development of the new version presented in 2023.

RLX titanium is a grade 5 alloy that is lighter than steel and denser than aluminium.

Mastering lightness

Titanium is a surprising metal. The titanium selected by Rolex to manufacture its watches is a grade 5 alloy named RLX titanium. It is both lighter than steel and denser than aluminium, yet harder and more resistant than either of these metals. Its characteristics are so unique that its processing and finishing – particularly the technical satin finish specially developed by Rolex and specific to watches in RLX titanium – required the development of a dedicated industrial process. Using RLX titanium to create the case and bracelet also reduces the weight of the watch by about one-third compared with the same watch in Oystersteel. A major watchmaking feat, marked by the distinctive symbol on the winding crown: a dash surrounded by two dots.

Unprecedented aesthetic balance

The new Yacht-Master 42 stands out with its finishes, a combination of technical satin, high-sheen and polished, proof of Rolex’s know-how in machining and finishing. The three finishes delight the eye with their subtle play on textures and light, contrasting the gleaming polished surface of the crown guard, the lustrous high-sheen on the top edges of the case lugs, and the matt of the technical satin finishing – with its pronounced grain – visible on the case and bracelet. An unprecedented aesthetic balance reinforced by the combination of the RLX titanium’s anthracite grey colour and the matt black colour of the Cerachrom bezel insert in ceramic.

Unparalleled comfort

The new Yacht-Master 42’s Oyster bracelet is also made of RLX titanium. Sporting a technical satin finish extending to the edge of its links and to the sides of the Oysterlock safety clasp’s cover, it is equipped with an Easylink comfort extension link that allows its length to be easily adjusted by about 5 mm. It also includes ceramic inserts inside the links to enhance its flexibility and longevity.

Tested against the elements

In 2021, Sir Ben Ainslie, a four-time Olympic sailing champion, was chosen to test a Yacht-Master 42 specially designed for him. This gentleman skipper competed in the SailGP championship with the only watch of its kind in the world: a Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium. By exposing its watches to extreme conditions, Rolex perpetuates the vision of its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who saw the world as a living laboratory in which only extreme testing could provide evidence of a watch’s reliability. A chronometer with superlative precision, made of a material used in high-technology industries, the watch proved to be the perfect ally for the driver of the Great Britain team. Ultralight, robust and extremely corrosion-resistant, it accompanies him on board without hindering any of his movements.

I love the diversity.

A breath of fresh air for sailing

It is a competition unlike any other in the world. With its multihulls travelling at more than 50 knots – almost 100 km/h – and comprising multiple events across the world, the SailGP series showcases the most innovative technologies in water sport. Rolex has been Presenting Partner and Official Timepiece of SailGP since the competition was inaugurated in 2019. A veritable ballet of the seas, SailGP is a spectacle like no other. Aboard their catamarans flying across the water, team members grapple with the elements, each playing a precise role.

Faced with the unexpected, they must band together to withstand stress and make instantaneous decisions. To sense the direction of the wind before the others and gain the best trajectory to win. Among these outstanding athletes is Rolex Testimonee Sir Ben Ainslie, who tested a Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium during races. With incomparable lightness, this watch offers unparalleled liberty of movement, as much on land as at sea. It allows the wearer to lead their life with a masterful hand, in the perpetual quest to balance speed and staying the course.

Introducing The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 In RLX Titanium

A prototype surfaced years ago, and now the watch is a reality…on a bracelet..

rolex rlx titanium yachtmaster for sale

Late last year, Rolex released the Deepsea Challenge in its proprietary RLX titanium material. That watch also happened to be 50mm in diameter and basically unwearable for mere mortals. Today another watch enters the RLX fray: The Rolex Yacht-Master 42. We last saw a titanium Yacht-Master on the wrist of Ben Ainslie – the famed sailor. That was years ago, and the watch he was wearing was a prototype on a strap.

Yacht-Master

This new release is a full titanium Yacht-Master 42. That means a titanium case and titanium bracelet – just like the Deepsea Challenge. In terms of aesthetics, the overall design language is everything we have come to expect from the black-Cerachrom bezel YM's of late. That means we get the raised black numerals against a matte ceramic bezel insert. But where the case would normally be a precious metal, now we get this watch in full titanium.

The titanium bracelet is fully brushed (thank you, Rolex) and features the brand's 5mm Easylink extension system.

I had a hunch more titanium was coming, but I also figured we were years away from such a thing. I did not expect a second titanium Rolex mere months after the Deepsea Challenge, and I fully did not expect that watch to be a Yacht-Master. Now that it's here, though, I should have – considering the prototype was known to have existed.

Rolex Yacht-Master

To be honest, the draw here for me is Rolex's decision to put this on a titanium bracelet. It would have been all too easy to throw this on Oysterflex and call it a day. But the choice of a fully-brushed titanium bracelet puts the Yacht-Master firmly in the tool-watch category and makes me more excited about the model than I ever have been before.

Having worn the 42 in white gold, on Oysterflex, the sizing doesn't scare me at all, and this likely will wear even better on the bracelet. Stay tuned for our hands-on impressions – as I can't wait to feel how light this one is.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42

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.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Intense black dial

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.

RLX titanium is a grade 5 titanium alloy specially selected by Rolex. Like all titanium alloys, it is especially lightweight and is noted for its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Another characteristic of RLX titanium is the possibility of working it to give a polished or satin finish according to the brand's specifications. Its high mechanical strength makes it complex to work with, and the decision to use it has required the introduction of special production processes.

All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity.

Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers.

GEARYS is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.

A new jewel shines on the surface of the sea: for the first time, the Yacht-Master 42 is available in yellow gold – an inspired and original refinement to the emblematic sailing timepiece that in no way alters its course. Rolex is presenting a new version of the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42. From now on, the nautical watch is also available in 18 ct yellow gold, after having been offered uniquely in 18 ct white gold. The new version, which, like the original model, includes a bidirectional rotatable bezel and a Cerachrom insert with a raised graduation as well as the innovative Oysterflex bracelet, benefits from an optimized Chromalight display. The hour markers and hands are filled or coated with a new luminescent material, exclusive to Rolex, that guarantees a longer-lasting intense glow. In daylight, these display elements also have a brighter white hue.

Hands-On: Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Watch Reference 226627 In RLX Titanium

rolex rlx titanium yachtmaster for sale

The visceral experience of wearing the Yacht-Master 42 titanium is very odd for any long-time Rolex fan. Rolex more or less helped create the 20th-century notion that you can often measure the value of a watch by feeling how solid and weighty it is. Rolex watches have never been designed for lightness, so most of them are quite hefty, and beloved for that reason. It is common for someone to admire a precious metal Rolex simply by feeling its mass in the open palm of your hand.

rolex rlx titanium yachtmaster for sale

The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 was introduced in 2019 with tones very similar to this titanium model, but rather in 18k white gold and on a black Rolex Oysterflex strap. A yellow gold version was eventually added, and it seemed as though Rolex’s largest Yacht-Master was destined to be a precious-metal-only product. The 2023 226627 Yacht-Master 42 changes that paradigm by adding in a full grade 5 titanium case and matching bracelet to the product family. This is what people should consider the first “wearable” Rolex watch produced from titanium.

Even though Rolex uses the same grade 5 titanium as other brands, it focuses a lot on surface finishing and polishing for this timepiece. Rolex uses a sort of deep-grain engraving, which is somewhat different from the same effect on steel. Titanium as a color is also a bit darker than the comparatively bright 904L steel that most other (non-precious metal) Rolex sport watches are made out of. Titanium does scratch, and I asked Rolex about the service plan for the Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium. To make a long story short, Rolex will offer the same “case refresh” service for its titanium watches as it does for its steel and gold watches, though in reality, Rolex will have to use some special processes to polish titanium so that it looks fresh and new again. “RLX titanium” is really just Rolex’s way of indicating that it polishes and finishes titanium metal differently from other brands (according to Rolex).

rolex rlx titanium yachtmaster for sale

Other than being in titanium with the matching bracelet, there isn’t too much new here. The Yacht-Master 42 case is 42mm-wide and has similar proportions as other watches in the larger Oyster Perpetual watch. The case is water resistant to 100 meters, and around the dial is a uni-directional rotating bezel with a matte-black ceramic insert that matches the matte-dark-gray tone of the Yacht-Master 42 dial.

Inside the watch is the Rolex in-house-made caliber 3235 automatic movement that operates at 4Hz with about 70 hours of power reserve. The movement offers the time with date and on the sapphire crystal is a Rolex “cyclops” magnifier lens. Titanium is considered by many engineers to be the perfect material for wristwatch cases. While I don’t think it is possible to ever determine “bests” in regard to an emotional product, it is true that you can easily enjoy the Yacht-Master 42 in titanium from purely a tool watch perspective. The lighter weight and large size give this 42mm-wide Rolex an interesting and desirable personality. It also makes us wonder whether or not there will be more titanium Rolex watches in the future. Possibly some, but I don’t think that Rolex, primarily a maker of conspicuous jewelry-style watches, will heavily focus on a material that will not hold a high polish as nicely as steel, gold, or platinum watches.

rolex rlx titanium yachtmaster for sale

For watch lovers and Rolex collectors, there really is a lot of novelty to wearing a Rolex watch in titanium simply because most people haven’t ever done so before. The sister brand Tudor has had the Pelagos, which, for a while, was really the more sober equivalent of this Rolex Yacht-Master 42 226627. It is also much less expensive, but it doesn’t have the iconic Oyster Perpetual case shape and the famous Submariner-style dial that this Yacht-Master does.

While the Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium raises a lot of interesting philosophical questions about what Rolex should and shouldn’t be doing, the product will be a commercial success given the current latent demand for high-end titanium sport watches and anything even remotely interesting from Rolex. Rolex has made it clear that production of the titanium Yacht-Master 42 is going to be limited in scope, in large part because there are so many pieces of titanium in the case, and especially the bracelet, that all need to bear precisely matching polishes and finishes. I don’t imagine that this watch is easy for Rolex to make, but we do know that Rolex could increase production of titanium watches if it ever wanted to. Price for the very interesting and comfortable reference 226627 Rolex Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium is $14,050 USD . Learn more at the Rolex watches website here .

The long-awaited Rolex Yacht-Master in RLX Titanium

The long-awaited Rolex Yacht-Master in RLX Titanium

  • After much anticipation, Rolex releases the first production Yacht-Master in RLX titanium
  • The 42mm case is totally brushed, save for some wide, polished lug chamfers
  • Powered by the 3235 calibre, the Yacht-Master RLX Titanium has a power reserve of 70 hours

First spotted on the wrist of Sir Ben Ainslie, Rolex has finally released the Yacht-Master 42mm in RLX titanium. This was almost confirmed when the Crown presented their Deepsea Challenge last year, and is certainly a release that will please many.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 titanium

The new Yacht-Master 42 features a brushed finish throughout its RLX titanium construction, and this matte vibe continues to the Cerachrom bezel insert, too. To stand out from the non-reflective backdrop, the raised markers and numerals are highly polished, somewhat helping the legibility. Furthermore, the dial is completely matte too, while the signature Mercedes hands and mix of circular, rectangular and triangular indices are all in 18k white gold.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 titanium

Even though the finish of the case is uniform, Rolex don’t fail to spice it up a little. The tops of the lugs have sharp chamfers, while the crown guards, crown and bezel sport the only polished finishes found anywhere in the watch. Another rarity for Rolex’s sports models is the new crystal. Its sapphire construction and presence of a cyclops won’t be a surprise, but it now also features anti-reflective coating.

While Sir Ainslie’s Yacht-Master sported a strap, the production RLX titanium model has a matching titanium Oyster bracelet, complete with an Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension system. A new feature for this bracelet is the inclusion of ceramic inserts inside the links, enhancing its flexibility and longevity.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 titanium

The screw-down crown helps the Yacht-Master reach 100 metres of water resistance. It operates the calibre 3235, released in 2015 and first seen in the Yacht-Master in 2019, featuring all the Rolex bells and whistles you’d expect – a Chronergy escapement, Paraflex shock absorbers and Parachrom hairspring. The automatic calibre is not extensively decorated, and will beat for up to 70 hours hidden behind the closed caseback.

Hands-On Debut: Rolex Yacht-Master 42 in Titanium RLX

rolex rlx titanium yachtmaster for sale

First introduced in 2019, Rolex is taking a new approach to the Yacht-Master 42 series, this time opting for a new case and bracelet material: titanium RLX. This grade 5 titanium alloy is exclusive to Rolex and has previously only been used for the Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge presented last year. According to the brand, the extremely robust and corrosion-resistant metal makes the watch, which is designed for sailing, 30 percent lighter than other titanium watches.

Rolex yacht master ii titanium rlx

The combination of polished, high-sheen, and technical satin finishes illustrates the brand’s prowess in finishing techniques. Together, they produce a subtle blend of textures and light, the gleaming polished surface of the crown guard and the lustrous high-sheen on the top edges of the lugs are radiant. Contrastingly, the matte surface created by technical satin finishing – with its pronounced grain – is visible on the case and Oyster bracelet. The bracelet is equipped with the Rolex Easylink 5mm comfort extension link.

In terms of design, the new version remains faithful to the original model presented in 2019. As in previous releases, it features a bidirectional bezel with a Cerachrom insert in matte black ceramic with raised and polished numerals and graduations.

The bezel frames the black dial that offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, 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. Inside the watch is the manufacture caliber 3235.

Pricing for the updated Rolex Yachet-Master 42 is marked at $14,500.

Love this piece from Rolex ! Cunningly it is not available as a 40mm so as to not hurt the sales of the platinum bezel YM’s…

The first ROLEX I really liked in years. It looks good, the material is about time. Owned at least three to four ROLEXEs, but not one was accurate out of the box. I also own three GP’s and two IWCs, a Jaeger, a Cartier, all are accurate out of the box. Go figure. I bought my first ROLEX at Cartier on Fifth Ave in the late sixties, branded with both ROLEX and Cartier label. It cost $190 with leather, not metal, bracelet. The ROLEX HQ was next door. I had to take the watch to it to get the time adjusted.

After all these years of no real change to fire one’s interest, other than the subject of the article above, ROLEX in my mind has become boring, as well as overpriced for the product they serve the public.

I am amazed though at the advertising prowess of the company everywhere on the planet, which must add at least $2000-3000 to each watch sold. That means that each watch sold is actually worth that amount less than the sale price. I’d rather put m money into the watch than the advertising company’s pockets.

I urge anyone reading this to pick up an IWC Ingeneur AGM ceramic series watch, check the back for the movement, and make his comparison to the value against the ROLEX of his choice. You’ll immediately see what I speak of. Incidentally, my father was a master watchmaker.

I agree with you it is a long time awaited stunning piece. Of course, titanium being my metal of choice, I might not be objective…LOL You really had an unfortunate series of bad luck with your Rollies. May I ask if you have had any recent iterations? Because at my house, the recent models all keep time like…”a swiss clock”…with about 1 second or less per day, constant months after months. You are privileged that your dad was a master watchmaker.

Which New Rolex Watches Could We See Released in 2024?

New models? New materials? New colors? These are the models that may be in store.

rolex gmt watch

By Johnny Brayson

Watches & Wonders 2024 is right around the corner, which means that Rolex will soon be unveiling its most exciting novelties for the year. Traditionally, the brand has been known for its conservatism and incremental changes. Rolex usually doesn’t take big swings. In past years, simply releasing a new dial color for the Submariner or a new size for the Explorer was enough to send hordes of enthusiasts to their nearest AD with hopes of getting put on a waiting list.

But that wasn’t the case in 2023. Rolex was full of surprises last year, rolling out a bunch of watches that quite literally no one saw coming. The “ Celebration Dial ” Oyster Perpetual with its colorful bubbles. The wild “Puzzle” Day-Date with its emojified date wheel. And, a few months after Watches & Wonders, the “Le Mans” Daytona with its custom movement and revival of the Paul Newman-style exotic dial.

After Rolex’s shocking and exciting 2023, it’s become clear that no one really knows what Rolex is going to release this year. But I can make my best guesses, based on the direction the brand is headed along with actual rumors floating around the aether. So with that in mind, here are five watches we could see from The Crown in 2024.

A “Coke” GMT-Master II

rolex gmt watch

Out of all the hypothetical watches laid out in this article, this is the only one that has some tangible evidence to back it up. Just last month, a patent that Rolex had filed in 2022 came to light. And what was on that patent? Oh, just a description of a bi-color ceramic bezel in red and black.

The “Coke” bezel of course has a strong history within the GMT-Master II line. In fact, the original GM T-Master II that was released in 1982 had a Coke bezel, distinguishing it at the time from the “Pepsi” GMT-Master that would remain alongside it in production for several years. The Coke GMT was produced from 1989 — 2005, but only in an aluminum variant — we’ve never seen a Coke bezel in Rolex’s durable Cerachrom ceramic material. It certainly seems like Rolex is working on one, though, and hopefully, we’ll get to see it this year.

The Return of the Milgauss

closeup of blue rolex watch dial

Fans of quirky Rolex were disappointed last year when the Milgauss was unceremoniously discontinued. The watch, which originally debuted in 1956 as an anti-magnetic watch for scientists in engineers. In recent years, it also became known for its decidedly non-traditional style cues, including green-tinted sapphire glass and a lightning bolt-shaped seconds hand.

It may be too soon for Rolex to revive the Milgauss — it’s only been gone for a year, after all — but then again, maybe not. The Air-King was discontinued by Rolex in 2014 but was revived in 2016 using the same case and movement of that era’s Milgauss. The Air-King then got another makeover in 2022 with a new case, movement and dial, so if Rolex is in the recycling mood again, it could bring back the Milgauss using the Air-King’s case and movement.

But I would like to see a bit more innovation from Rolex when it comes to the scientist’s watch. Omega has massively upped the ante when it comes to anti-magnetic watches in recent years with its METAS-certified watches now being resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. (The Milgauss only ever claimed protection against 1,000 gauss, hence the name.) Even Tudor , Rolex’s sister brand, is now using METAS-certified movements with the same magnetic resistance, so I would hope Rolex can create a new highly anti-magnetic movement for the new Milgauss to make it the industry standard once again.

A Sea-Dweller in RLX Titanium

rolex dive watch on the ocean floor

Last year, Rolex debuted the Yacht-Master 42 in RLX Titanium . The lightweight sports watch quickly became one of the hottest new Rolexes, and many are speculating that Rolex may give the titanium treatment to the Submariner this year. But I’m not so sure.

I think Rolex is more precious about the Sub and what it does with the collection compared to its less popular models, and a titanium Submariner just feels like too big a departure for the brand. But what does seem likely is a Sea-Dweller in RLX Titanium. As Rolex’s more serious dive watch, the Sea-Dweller makes a much better candidate for the ultra-light, technical material. Plus, the mega-souped-up version of the Sea-Dweller, the Deepsea Challenge , already exists in titanium.

Day-Dates with display casebacks

closeup of rolex watch movement seen through caseback

Another big surprise from Rolex — not emoji dial surprise-level, but still shocking — was the debut of sapphire display casebacks showing off the movements of certain Daytona models and its new dress watch , the 1908. Rolex had only ever released one watch with an exhibition caseback before, an obscure rectangular Cellini from the 2000s, so the new display casebacks were a big deal and brought Rolex more in line with the rest of the luxury watch industry, where sapphire casebacks showing off decorated movements are pretty standard.

So I’m thinking Rolex will expand its display caseback offerings in 2024, and the Day-Date seems the most likely candidate to get the upgrade. Like the 1908 and the platinum and white gold Daytonas that have already received display casebacks, the Day-Date is only available in precious metal, continuing the theme Rolex established last year. Of course, if Rolex does go this route while continuing to use the Calibre 3255 in the Day-Date, then it will have to tart up the rather utilitarian-looking movement.

A “Polar” Explorer

This last one would both be the easiest watch of these five for Rolex to create and the one that seems the least likely. All I want to see is a white dial on the regular Explorer, like the one that’s been available on the Explorer II for decades. There are no technological feats to tackle or new materials to master to accomplish this — Rolex knows how to make a white dial.

So why does it feel unlikely? Well, mainly because Rolex hasn’t done it yet. It’s not like they don’t know people want it and would love it, they just haven’t been in any rush to give it to us. But, here’s why I think there’s a slim chance we could finally get an Explorer I with a white dial.

In the past few years, Rolex has been paying a lot of attention to the Explorer, and even getting – dare I say it — experimental with its most basic watch. In 2021, we saw the release of the Explorer in two-tone Rolesor for the first time. Then, last year, Rolex expanded the line by adding a 40mm Explorer in steel alongside the existing 36mm watch, giving buyers the choice of two sizes of Explorer for the first time. So why not continue the product line’s expansion with a Polar dial?

    The Oyster bracelet Alchemy of form and function. The Yacht-Master 42, made from RLX titanium, is fitted on an Oyster bracelet. Developed at the end of the 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet remains the most universal in the Oyster Perpetual collection and is known for its robustness.
