Baselworld 2019: Rolex Yacht-Master 42 White Gold Men's Watch Replica
The Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced in 1992, so only a relatively new member of the Oyster family. Now, 27 years later, they introduce something big, bold and in white gold, the new Rolex Yacht-Master 42 with black ceramic bezel and oysterflex did not disappoint. Let’s have a look at the new Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Men's Watch replica 226659.
The most famous version of the Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced in 1999, under the reference 16622 replica: steel case, steel bracelet, solid platinum bezel and platinum-coated dial with a sparkling finish. At Baselworld 2012, the brand came with refreshed versions, including new blue accents on a silver model as well as a cobalt-blue dial option.
Finally, a major evolution came in 2015, with the introduction of the Everose version, Rolex Yacht-Master 116655 watch replica was also in full gold and with the Oysterflex bracelet (which is actually a strap). If I am not mistaken, it was the first watch to use the Oysterflex.
The History
The first model was the Rolex Yacht-Master replica 16628, a Yellow Gold model with a white dial and and black hour indexes. The design of this watch feels quite familiar, so it's easy to speculate about the inspiration and the positioning of this Yacht-Master in the collection.

The Dial
The dial of the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 watch replica is distinctive due to its black colour with large white hour markers. Unlike the Everose version of 2015, the printing of the ‘Yacht-Master’ writing is in white instead of red. As always, the hour markers and hands are also made of gold. The distinctive black bezel of the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 is made of ceramic with a black Cerachrom insert. It features raised numerals and graduations with a polished finish. As written above, this bezel is also bi-directional.
The Case
After having launched several versions of the YM in 40mm, it was apparently time for Rolex to increase the size of its model, in order to differentiate it even more from the Submariner. Thus, the new Rolex Yacht-Master 42 men's watch replica 226659 has gained 2mm in diameter to now 42mm overall – meaning one of the largest time-and-date watches in the collection.The Movement
Within the 18k white gold case of the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 replica is the Rolex Caliber 3235. The recipient of 14 patents, it includes the new Chronergy escapement, which is highly efficient and dependable. It contains all the hallmarks of a Rolex Perpetual movement suited to an active lifestyle, such as the Blue Parachrom hairspring (highly resistant to magnetic fields and temperature interference) and the Paraflex shock absorption system. It has a power reserve of 70 hours and runs well within chronometer specification (-2/+2 seconds per day deviation on average).
