How the Yacht-Master sizes and metals differ
Rolex introduced the Yacht-Master in 1992 as a sailing watch: an Oyster case waterproof to 100 metres with a bidirectional 60-minute bezel with raised numerals. It comes in three current sizes. The 37 mm (268622, 268621, 268655) uses calibre 2236 with about 55 hours of reserve. The 40 mm (126622, 126621, 126655) and 42 mm (226627, 226658, 226659) use calibre 3235 with about 70 hours. All are Superlative Chronometers, regulated to -2/+2 seconds a day after casing.
Rolesium is Rolex’s name for Oystersteel with a 950 platinum bezel; it first appeared on the 16622 in 1999 and is the most affordable way into a current Yacht-Master (126622 and 268622). Everose Rolesor (126621, 268621) combines steel with Everose gold. The full-gold 126655, 268655, 226658 and 226659 sit on the Oysterflex bracelet, whose flexible metal blades are coated in black elastomer, and carry a matt black Cerachrom bezel. The 226627 is the only Yacht-Master in RLX titanium, a grade 5 titanium alloy, on an Oyster bracelet.
The Yacht-Master II is a different watch: a 44 mm regatta chronograph with a programmable countdown of up to 10 minutes and a mechanical memory, set through the Ring Command bezel. The 116680 family uses calibre 4161; the current steel 126680 uses calibre 4162.
Buying advice
For the lowest price on a modern movement, compare the 126622 with the previous 116622: the case and look are close, but the 126622 has calibre 3235 and its longer power reserve. If you want gold for less, the Everose Rolesor 126621 and 268621 cost well under the full-gold Oysterflex models. Choose by wrist: the 37 mm wears small on most men, while the 42 mm is broad, and lighter in titanium than in gold. On older 16622 and 16628 watches ask for the papers’ year, the service history and whether the bezel and dial are original; on Oysterflex models ask about the strap’s condition.
