Steel Yacht-Master II. Following up on the release of a Bi-Metal Yacht-Master II in 2011 Roles has released one in an all stainless steel case and bracelet. This is welcome new those waiting for a lower cost version of the Yacht-Master II.
The Yacht-Master I a large watch by Rolex standards, with a 43 mm case. It is also one of the two Rolex watches which would fit into the category of a complications watch.
Complication watch. The Yatch-Master II was designed for regatta (boat racing) events featuring a programmable 10 minute countdown timer to keep track of the time that skippers have to get their boats into position before the start of the race.
The Yacht-Master II is Rolex's only true production complication watch, with a "Command Bezel" to control the countdown timer. Rotating the bezel 90 degrees counter clockwise and pulling out the crown to the first position will allow you to use the crown to set the countdown time. The watch can be set to countdown from 1 minutes to 10 minutes. When set on zero, the watch does not countdown. Once the countdown timer is set, the bezel is rotated back to its original position and the button at 2 o'clock can be used to start and stop the countdown timer which uses the main second hand and the short hand with a red and while triangle at the head. The button at 4 o'clock is used to reset the main second hand.
