DescriptionThe Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ref. 126622 embodies the spirit of competitive sailing in a robust and stylish wristwatch. Crafted from a blend of high-grade 950 platinum and Rolex’s proprietary Oystersteel, this timepiece offers exceptional durability and a sophisticated presence. The 40-millimeter Oyster case features a monobloc middle case for enhanced water resistance, a screw-down case back for secure access to the movement, and a screw-down winding crown equipped with Rolex’s Triplock triple waterproofness system. The Triplock crown utilizes three successive screw-down gaskets to ensure the integrity of the internal movement in depths of up to 100 meters (330 feet).

The unidirectional rotatable bezel is a hallmark feature of the Yacht-Master collection and serves as a crucial tool for timekeeping during regattas. Constructed from solid 950 platinum, the bezel features raised numerals and graduations that are precisely calibrated for effortless 60-minute elapsed time tracking. The bezel’s rotatable design allows the wearer to align the zero mark with the minute hand at the start of a race, enabling intuitive timekeeping throughout the competition. A bright blue dial provides exceptional legibility in all lighting conditions, thanks to Rolex’s Chromalight display. Chromalight employs luminescent material on the broad hands and hour markers, ensuring a long-lasting green glow for optimal readability in darkness. The hour markers themselves are geometric in form, utilizing triangles, circles, and rectangles for a clean and contemporary aesthetic. At the 3-hour position, a magnified date window with a Cyclops lens offers a clear view of the date function.

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ref. 126622 is powered by Rolex’s caliber 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement manufactured in-house. The caliber 3235 incorporates a number of Rolex’s innovations to deliver exceptional performance. A blue Parachrom hairspring offers superior resistance to magnetism and temperature fluctuations, ensuring the watch’s accuracy over time. The movement’s high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers further protect the delicate balance spring from shocks and vibrations during everyday wear. The caliber 3235 boasts a 70-hour power reserve, which provides ample timekeeping power when the watch is not worn. The Oyster bracelet completes the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ref. 126622, offering a combination of comfort and resilience. Crafted from Oystersteel, the bracelet features three solid links for a sturdy and dependable feel on the wrist. A folding Oysterlock safety clasp secures the bracelet and prevents accidental opening, while the Easylink comfort extension link allows for the quick adjustment of the bracelet length by up to 5 millimeters, ensuring a perfect fit throughout the day.
