Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Oyster, 42 mm, titanio RLX M226627-0001

• Referenza 226627
• Cassa Oyster, 42 mm, titanio RLX
• Lunetta Girevole bidirezionale graduata 60 minuti con disco Cerachrom in ceramica nera opaca, graduazioni e numeri lucidi e in rilievo
• Impermeabilità Impermeabile fino a 100 metri
• Movimento Perpetual, meccanico, a carica automatica
• Calibro 3235, Manifattura Rolex
• Autonomia Circa 70 ore
• Bracciale Oyster (3 file), maglie massicce
• Quadrante Nero intenso
• Certificazione Cronometro Superlativo (COSC + certificazione Rolex con movimento incassato)

Bidirectional Rotatable Bezel

La lunetta girevole bidirezionale graduata 60 minuti dello Yacht‑Master è realizzata interamente in metallo prezioso o dotata di un disco Cerachrom in ceramica ad alta tecnologia. Le graduazioni e i numeri in rilievo con finitura lucida si stagliano sullo sfondo opaco con finitura sabbiata. Questa lunetta funzionale, che permette a chi indossa l’orologio di leggere una durata, ad esempio il tempo di percorrenza tra due boe, è anche una componente chiave dell’identità unica dello Yacht‑Master.

Il quadrante nero intenso

Come tutti gli orologi Professionali di Rolex, il modello Yacht-Master 42 garantisce un’ottima leggibilità in ogni circostanza, specialmente al buio, grazie alla visualizzazione Chromalight. Le ampie lancette e gli indici di grandi dimensioni dalle forme semplici – triangoli, tondi e rettangoli – sono rivestiti di una sostanza luminescente a emissioni di lunga durata.

Titanio RLX

Il titanio RLX è una lega di titanio grado 5 appositamente selezionata da Rolex. Come ogni lega di questo metallo, si distingue per la sua leggerezza e per la sua resistenza meccanica e alla corrosione. Il titanio RLX è anche caratterizzato dal fatto che può essere lavorato in modo da presentare finiture lucide o satinate, in linea con le necessità del Marchio. Per via della sua elevata resistenza meccanica, è difficile da lavorare e il suo utilizzo ha richiesto la messa a punto di specifici processi di fabbricazione.

Disponibilità dei modelli

Tutti gli orologi Rolex sono assemblati a mano, con estrema cura, per soddisfare gli elevati standard di qualità del Marchio. Tuttavia, un simile livello di attenzione può ridurre le capacità produttive di Rolex e la forte domanda può limitare la disponibilità di alcuni modelli del Marchio.

I nuovi orologi Rolex sono disponibili esclusivamente presso i rivenditori autorizzati, regolarmente approvvigionati, che gestiscono in modo indipendente le assegnazioni dei segnatempo ai loro clienti.

Rocca 1794 è orgoglioso di far parte della rete globale di rivenditori autorizzati Rolex ed è a disposizione per fornire maggiori informazioni sulla disponibilità dei modelli.

Hands-On Rolex Made A Wearable Titanium Watch – How Are People Not Freaking Out?

Any other year, the titanium yacht-master 42 would steal the show for rolex. this year, the brand has so many crazy releases that the ym flies under the radar. here's why it still matters..

A year ago, the very idea of a titanium Rolex was relegated to wild dreams. A prototype had been seen on the wrist of British competitive sailor Sir Ben Ainslie, but the widely circulated online photo had gotten so old that some of us began to wonder if the watch would ever see the light of day.

The pic that launched our titanium dreams. Image by Ineos Britannia Team / C GREGORY

Now, in less than five months, we've gotten two watches from the Crown cased in RLX Titanium (a grade 5 titanium). The first was last year's 50mm Deep Sea Special , the mega dive watch that obliterated the water-resistance record. And now this week we have the Yacht-Master 42, which unlike the DSS is sized so that a normal human being could conceivably wear it. 

Here it is. The first practically sized titanium Rolex, the new Yacht-Master 42. 

It's a big deal. But when seen next to Daytonas with display casebacks, Day-Dates with emojis, a solid-gold GMT-Master II, and an entirely new line of dress watches, a titanium Yacht-Master barely moves the needle of surprise and excitement. What a wild 48 hours this has been for the House of Wilsdorf.

In some ways, it feels like the appropriate response to not be that excited. After all, at this point every other watchmaker under the sun has made a titanium watch, from affordable Citizens in multiple colors of bezels and dials to Jean-Claude Biver's $500,000 minute repeater tourbillon announced Sunday.

And yet, as soon as the new titanium Yacht-Master ref. 226627 started to be passed around the room of Hodinkee editors during this week's Watches & Wonders trade show, the general reaction was just to laugh with surprise. This 42mm watch, which looks so sturdy, feels so unbelievably light. I mean, that's titanium for you. But still. You can't quite believe this watch is real, on a number of different levels. 

For any of us who've ever tried on a steel Submariner (a.k.a. anyone with a passing interest in Rolex), it's kind of comical to find out how much your brain is preconditioned to see a 42mm steel Oyster case, round indices, and Mercedes hands and think about the luxurious heft that awaits you.

At around 100 grams, according to Rolex, the titanium Yacht-Master is so light it breaks your brain.

For a moment, let's compare the new YM to last year's titanium Pelagos from Rolex's sister brand Tudor. Rolex's choice to put the watch on a bracelet instead of a sportier Oysterflex makes the comparison obvious. I've now spent time with both pieces, and I prefer the Yacht-Master. 

The YM, like the Pelagos, is distinctly a tool watch – something that would have been hard to say about Yacht-Masters in the past. But the finishing a world apart, which is saying something for such an understated metal as titanium.

Rolex's proprietary grade 5 "RLX Titanium" (stronger than the grade 2 of the Pelagos) has the curious property of being equally able to be brushed satin or polished, which means it has the nice sharp and shiny chamfers that you'd like to see contrasted against the dark grey and relatively matte metal. That combination also works well with the more matte and textured dial – and with the contrast of the raised black numerals against a matte ceramic bezel insert, which is is the main giveaway that this is still squarely a Yacht-Master.

My main critique (which I share into the void, knowing that Rolex designers will do whatever they think best) is that I wish they'd  stuck to the no-date design of Ainsilie's prototype. In the practical application of most sailing races, there's really no use for a date. If you're blue-water sailing and circumnavigating the globe, maybe its useful, though just like dive watches the practical application gives way to the reality of technology. So why not refine the design further and leave the date off altogether? And while we're at it, a better quick-adjustment option would be great.

The price is somewhat immaterial – CHF 13,400 – since the average collector won't be able to get it at retail anytime soon. But the new Yacht-Master 42 is more than a solid release. It's a more than a titanium proof of concept. It's a wearable piece that portends at least the possibility of future experiments with this fascinating material.

Rolex Amazes With A New Yacht Master 42 In Titanium – Watches & Wonders 2023

• 2023 New Watches

Andrea David

Table of contents

Live from Watches and Wonders Rolex has just unveiled a new version of the Yacht Master 42 with a material never before seen on the model, namely titanium.

Anticipated by many collectors, Rolex with this new model has certainly succeeded in pleasing its enthusiasts with an unusual but successful watch (perhaps a bit late).

Let us now go on to find out all the details within this article.

RLX Titanium

To be precise, Rolex had previously created a titanium Yacht-Master but it was a one-off made for sailor Ben Ainslie.

After the public appearance of this highly exclusive model, all fans of the crowned house began to wait and hope that a similar model made of the same material might also arrive in the catalog.

As strange as Rolex’s use of titanium may seem to many, suffice it to say that the Geneva-based maison’s hallmark spirit has always been the creation of instrument watches suitable for all kinds of situations.

Titanium is therefore a material that, thanks to its lightness combined with its strength, is perfect for a watch with a sporty character that can be used in all kinds of situations.

Rolex already gave us a taste of this new material a few months ago with the new Deepsea Challenge , and even then we should have expected the material to be adopted on other models in the crowned house’s collection. Many even, hoped it might arrive on the Daytona for the 60th anniversary.

This innovative material from Rolex is called RLX titanium and is nothing more than a grade 5 titanium alloy that is distinguished by its light weight and resistance to corrosion. Used to make both the case and the iconic Oyster bracelet, titanium made it possible to reduce the weight of the watch by about one-third compared to a similar steel watch.

In order to make this type of material, which is highly difficult to work with, the fashion house had to develop specific manufacturing processes.

The features

The 42 mm diameter case of the new titanium Yacht-Master 42 features several finishes that highlight all of Rolex’s expertise in the field. Polished parts on the crown protection straps and the upper edges of the lugs contrast with the satin matte finish of the rest of the case and bracelet.

The bi-directional rotating bezel with a black ceramic “Cerachrom” disc is directly inspired by the aesthetics of the 2019 model and features shiny black raised numerals that contrast with the matte black of their surface. Thanks to these elements, the wearer of this watch with a nautical spirit can measure a duration such as, for example, the time between two buoys.

The black dial matching the bezel contrasts the white hour markers ensuring excellent readability in all situations including at night thanks to the Chromalight luminescent material also placed on the hands. The beating heart of the watch is the COSC-certified in-house caliber 3235 with a 72-hour power reserve. Completing the watch is the titanium Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp.

What we think about it

We can only welcome this novelty from Rolex, which has once again managed to demonstrate, without distorting the faithful design of the model, its know-how in the field of innovation and development of technical solutions that are functional for everyday use and in all areas of the watch.

In true tool watch style, I think this Rolex will surely spark among the maison’s longtime fans.

Il prezzo di listino del Yacht‑Master 42 in titanio è di EUR 14.150,00.

Oyster Perpetual

Yacht-Master

Seguire la rotta, una mappa dalle vie invisibili.

In mare, seguire la rotta è una sfida costante. Quando si affrontano gli elementi non esistono certezze ed è necessario saper reagire sempre con prontezza per non deviare dalla giusta direzione. Dal suo lancio, nel 1992, l’Oyster Perpetual Yacht‑Master è dotato di una lunetta girevole bidirezionale che facilita il calcolo e la lettura dei tempi di navigazione. Elegante connubio di funzionalità e stile nautico, questo orologio si è imposto ben oltre l’universo professionale per cui è nato.

Una ricerca condivisa della precisione

Durante la navigazione è vitale sapere dove ci si trova nello spazio e nel tempo, poter fissare una rotta e seguirla. L’orologio, considerata la sua funzione, è dunque uno strumento essenziale per i navigatori in quanto consente loro di determinare la propria posizione. Ritenuti gli strumenti orologieri più precisi al mondo, i cronometri da marina hanno cominciato a essere sottoposti al vaglio degli osservatori astronomici per essere certificati sin dal XVIII secolo. A quei tempi, la massima autorità in materia di precisione cronometrica era l’Osservatorio di Kew, in Gran Bretagna.

Nel 1914 il fondatore di Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, fece testare uno degli orologi del Marchio proprio da questo osservatorio, che gli conferì la certificazione di cronometro: era la prima volta che un orologio da polso otteneva un tale riconoscimento. Da allora, celebri navigatori come Sir Francis Chichester e Bernard Moitessier hanno solcato i mari utilizzando orologi da polso Rolex come cronometri di bordo.

Eguagliare la precisione dei cronometri da marina era fondamentale per l’orologeria Rolex.

Progettato per i navigatori

La vela occupa un posto speciale nel mondo di Rolex. Nel 1958, il Marchio diventa partner del New York Yacht Club, fondatore della leggendaria America’s Cup. Rolex avvia poi collaborazioni con diversi prestigiosi club nautici di tutto il mondo e stringe legami con i principali appuntamenti velici, regate costiere e d’altura.

Nel 1992, questi solidi legami culminano nel lancio dello Yacht‑Master, un cronometro che reca in sé tutta la robustezza e l’impermeabilità della cassa Oyster e, per agevolare il calcolo e la lettura dei tempi di navigazione, è dotato di una lunetta bidirezionale graduata 60 minuti in rilievo.

Prezioso sulla terraferma e in mare

Proposto in tre dimensioni – 37, 40 e 42 mm – e declinato in diverse versioni preziose – oro 18 ct giallo, bianco ed Everose – nonché nelle versioni Rolesor Everose e Rolesium, lo Yacht‑Master spicca nella linea di orologi Professionali Rolex per la sua unicità. Questo orologio elegante dal carattere sportivo è stato il primo, nel 2015, ad essere abbinato a un bracciale Oysterflex.

Nel 2023, dopo averlo testato in condizioni reali al polso dell’acclamato timoniere Sir Ben Ainslie, Rolex ha lanciato lo Yacht‑Master 42 in una nuova versione in titanio RLX, un materiale ad alte prestazioni che offre al contempo leggerezza, robustezza e resistenza alla corrosione.

Oltre ad essere un prezioso alleato in mare, lo Yacht‑Master è anche un emblema di eleganza da indossare una volta fatto ritorno sulla terraferma. Un modello che, con le sue molteplici declinazioni, trascende le sue origini nautiche ed è diventato l’orologio di chi sa cambiare rotta e muoversi in libertà senza perdere di vista l’orizzonte.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

The Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the oldest, the most famous and popular opera and ballet theatre in Russia. The word “Bolshoi” means “big” in Russian. You can buy a ticket online in advance, 2-3 months before the date of performance on the official website . Prices for famous ballets are high: 6-8 thousand rubles for a seat in stalls. Tickets to operas are cheaper: you can get a good seat for 4-5 thousand rubles. Tickets are cheaper for daytime performances and performances on the New Stage. The New Stage is situated in the light-green building to the left of the Bolshoi's main building. The quality of operas and ballets shown on the New Stage is excellent too. However, you should pay attention that many seats of the Bolshoi’s Old and New Stages have limited visibility . If you want to see the Bolshoi’s Old Stage but all tickets are sold out, you can order a tour of the theatre. You can book such a tour on the official website.

If you want, following Russian tradition, to give flowers to the performers at the end of the show, in the Bolshoi flowers should be presented via special staff who collects these flowers in advance.
