The Yacht-Master reference 126622 is a contemporary interpretation of Rolex's nautical-inspired sports watch, distinguished by its Rolesium construction, which pairs Oystersteel for the case and bracelet with a platinum bezel. This reference maintains the established aesthetic of the Yacht-Master line, offering a refined yet robust profile suitable for daily wear. It represents a continuation of the model's evolution, incorporating modern technical advancements while retaining its characteristic design elements. This model features a 40 mm Oyster case crafted from Oystersteel, complemented by a bidirectional rotatable bezel with raised graduations in 950 platinum. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3235, an automatic movement known for its precision and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, secured by a screw-down crown and case back. The 126622 appeals to collectors seeking a sports watch with a luxurious material combination that is distinct from other Rolex professional models. It is offered with a blue dial, providing a contrast to the platinum bezel and contributing to its visual identity. The Oyster bracelet ensures a secure and comfortable fit, aligning with the model's functional design.
