The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in 18 ct white gold with a falcon’s eye dial and an Oysterflex bracelet.

The oysterflex bracelet, highly resistant and durable.

The Yacht-Master’s new Oysterflex bracelet, developed by Rolex and patented, offers a sporty alternative to metal bracelets. The bracelet attaches to the watch case and the Oysterlock safety clasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade.

The blade is overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer which is particularly resistant to environmental effects, very durable and perfectly inert for the wearer of the watch. For enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with a patented longitudinal cushion system that stabilizes the watch on the wrist and fitted with an 18 ct white gold Oysterlock safety clasp. It also features the Rolex Glidelock extension system, designed by the brand and patented. This inventive toothed mechanism, integrated beneath the clasp, allows fine adjustment of the bracelet length by some 15 mm in increments of approximately 2.5 mm, without the use of tools.

18 ct white gold

Commitment to excellence

By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white.

They are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with the same painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.

Falcon’s eye dial

Exceptional legibility.

Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 42 offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display.

The broad hands and hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.

Bidirectional Rotatable Bezel

Timing the distance.

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from precious metals or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-tech ceramic. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background.

This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

Rolex Releases The Yacht-Master 42 Watch With Yellow Gold And Falcon’s Eye Dial Variants

In 2019, Rolex added a 42mm variant to the Yacht-Master range that became the largest size of the brand’s three-hand sailing watch. Despite being a larger-sized luxury watch, that model still flies somewhat under the radar, as it comes in a more subtle white gold color with a traditional black dial on an Oysterflex bracelet. At Watches and Wonders 2022, however, Rolex has changed that with two new references.

Specifications

Brand : Rolex Model : Yacht-Master 42 Dimensions : 42mm Water Resistance : 100 meters Case Material : 18K yellow or white gold Crystal/Lens : Sapphire with cyclops and anti-reflective coating Movement : Calibre 3235 Frequency : 4Hz Power Reserve : 70 hours Strap/Bracelet : Oysterflex Price & Availability : $28,300 to $32,250 USD

The first new version is the yellow gold Rolex Yacht-Master 42. As with the earlier white gold model, it features a bidirectional rotating 60-minute bezel with a three-dimensional polished and matte black Cerachrom ceramic insert. The change points are that the case is now rendered in yellow rather than white gold. The black lacquer dial is also updated with yellow gold indices as well as yellow gold hands. Rolex describes this new finish as “Glowing with Brilliance.” Unlike white gold, it won’t be confused with stainless steel, so this model should be sure to draw more attention than the earlier version.

For buyers who prefer more neutral tones, the white gold Yacht-Master 42 is still in the Rolex catalog. Lucky buyers will soon be able to choose a second and very unique dial option though. Called “Falcon’s Eye,” the dial has an organic texture to it, as well as a blue-green hue that should be sure to look attractive in different types of light. As with all Rolex dials, it is designed and manufactured in-house, and largely by hand. The markers and hands of this model are made from white gold, and both models feature Rolex’s Chromalight blue luminescence.

As with the existing 42mm model, both new variants are equipped with Rolex Oysterflex bracelets. What appears to be a simple rubber strap is actually a flexible titanium and nickel alloy blade which is over-molded in what Rolex refers to as “high-performance black elastomer.” It is finished off with an 18k gold Oysterlock safety clasp that features the Rolex Glidelock extension system.

As it is only available in precious metals, the Yacht-Master 42 is one of Rolex’s less commonly seen and more expensive sports models. With these new releases, Rolex adds some desirable options to the line that give the luxury model a look that more accurately reflects its higher price point. These new Yacht-Master 42 models will be available through Rolex dealers at MSRPs of $28,300 to $32,250 USD . For more details, visit the brand’s website .

Introducing Two New Wild Rolex Yacht-Master 42mm Models – One In Yellow Gold And Another With A Falcon's Eye Dial

Rolex is really flexing with these two oysterflex-equipped models..

Rolex is having a big day, with a lot of green. We've already seen the new Air-King and a left-handed GMT-Master II – both featuring green accents. But enough of the green already. We now have two new 42mm Yacht-Masters. One is white gold with a killer Falcon's Eye dial. And the other is a Rolex Yacht-Master 42 in yellow gold, baby! 

Much like the existing white gold, these new variation takes things into new territory in terms of case and dial material. They keep things simple and straightforward with completely white text on the dial (The Everose Yacht-Master 40 displays the word Yacht-Master in red).

Fans will be pleased to see there are now options within the 42mm Yacht-Master range. Previously, this size was only available in white gold with a standard black dial. Both variations utilize the same Rolex in-house caliber 3235 released in 2015, and fitted inside the 42 yacht-leisure watch since 2019.

Of course, the Crown didn't stop there. In addition to this new 42mm model, Rolex has also unveiled a new Yachtmaster 40 in white gold (a first for that collection) and a rotatable – yes you read that right – multi-colored sapphire bezel and iced-out lugs. It's certainly a watch that deserves a certain level of yacht. 

If any material is tailor-made for leisurely drinks on the fantail in Capri, it's yellow gold. Of course, that wouldn't be the case for true sport yachting, but let's be real – the target audience for the Yacht-Master doesn't really get down with that kind of boating. So what does that make the Falcon's Eye dial? It's something you want just because you want it. And that's okay.

The Yacht-Master line is something of an oddball in the Rolex lineup. It looks similar to a Submariner, but has certain differences like the use of a matte ceramic bezel as opposed to polished. Of course, the biggest difference between a Yacht-Master and other Rolex sports watches is that has come exclusively in precious metals. And that trend continues today with the introduction of yellow gold.

I'm sure many fans are disappointed to learn that Rolex did not release a titanium Yacht-Master – which was made as a prototype for British sailor Ben Ainslie. Oh well. The new one keeps consistency within the range. It was gold, and remains gold.

I'm torn between which variation I like more. On one hand, I love the yellow gold model because – well – I love yellow gold. It looks like a watch that has existed, or at least should always existed and that's a good thing. On the other hand, just look at the Falcon's Eye dial! It is undeniably cool, and one of those things that makes you look closer and closer. Did Rolex need to create a dial like this? Of course not, but it's Rolex we're talking about.

Both watches come fitted to the Rolex Oysterflex bracelet which gives these precious models a certain sportiness that belies the price of gold. Yachting season is nearly upon us (I think). And these arrived just in time.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 "Falcon Eye" 226659

The funny thing about Yacht-Masters is that in the collecting world, they’re a watch that tends to pass people by. They aren’t a hype-piece, they are rarely mentioned in the discussion of “tool watches” and in fairness to them, they are woefully underrated.  

There are, of course, reasons for this, but with the upgrades to the line, they’re reasons that are relevant to the Yachty’s of old, less so the current lineup.  

The Yacht-Master was first launched in 1992 in full yellow gold. It was very much a "HELLO SAILORS" piece designed, as its name suggests, for the Yachting set, those who split their time between sailing and getting plastered on Martini’s while gracing the decks of the yacht-club. It was designed to straddle the world of work, and play. Being precious metal, early buyers would have been wise to keep it a little calm on the work front though, it must be said.  

A steel case and bracelet variant, the 16622 was launched in ’99 and is considered by some to be the definitive Yacht-Master. It had a platinum dial, a vibrant red seconds hand, and a platinum bezel and was mounted on an oyster bracelet with polished centre links. Rolex named the steel and platinum mix “Rolesium” as is often their habit when combining metals. Rolesor (steel and gold) belong the better known example of both word and metal blending. The mix goes as follows: Role(x) S(teel) and either Or (gold) or “ium”, the end letters of platinum. Quite proprietary but can still create some confusion with those who aren’t “au fait” with the method.  

The 16622 was and still is a lovely watch, but it was always a niche seller and never quite hit peak.

There may be a couple of reasons for this:  

Primarily, the platinum bezel. While utterly opulent, it is difficult to refinish due to its sandblast base and polished raised numbers. A precious metal bezel + swinging sails + adventurous wear could mean an eye-watering bill should you need to replace the bezel after battering it.

Despite having a triplock crown, its water resistance rating was set at 100m so as to not pit it against the flagship Sub. Don’t get me wrong, 100m is perfectly adequate, but it put the Yacht-Master amongst the likes of the Daytona, GMT, and DateJust - none of which are marketed as watches for the high seas. It was also considered to be a bit of a hybrid piece. With a curved and polished case similar Daytona minus its chrono pushers, and the use of precious metals, it wasn’t appealing enough to the tool-watch nuts to be a big hit. There have been plenty of other configurations of Yacht-Master available over the years, ranging from 27mm (now discontinued) to the 44mm of the regatta chronograph equipped Yacht-Master II. They have been available in a range of flavours bi-metal, full gold, sunburst dials, plain dials, MOP dials, and pretty much everything in between bar a full stainless steel variant. Those of you who keep in the loop will also be aware of the brand spanking new 2023 release of the Yacht-master 42 in full RLX titanium. A new metal in the Rolex playground that was initially premiered in the whopping 50mm Deepsea Challenge. Lets call the new Ti YM42 the follow-up for more moderate wearers.  

Personally, I don’t think we’re going to see a Ti Submariner any time soon, which is indicative of the strategy that Rolex is putting in to the Yacht-Master with its recent tweaks, firsts, and investment into the range.

It has gone from the oddball of the catalogue to the point were its offering some significant competition to its stablemates. The most notable of which was the 2019 release of the Yacht-Master 42 which shed its soft bouncy curves in favour of a larger, sharper, beefier case which echoes that of the Submariner +1mm. Those of you who have met my love of analogy before - it’s gone from Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and The City to full Sarah Connor.  

This has been a roaringly successful evolution that brings us quite neatly to the subject of this review. The Yacht-Master 42 “Falcon Eye”  

The Yacht-Master 42 is a relatively new addition to the Rolex line-up. Released in 2019 in 18 carat white gold with a black dial. Its got the “macho” hard lines of the submariner, along with a gorgeous matte black ceramic bezel (no more worries about taking chunks out of platinum) and is fitted to a Rolex Oysterflex bracelet, which in typical Rolex form, is not actually as simple as a rubber strap, despite appearances.  

The “Oysterflex” bracelet was first released in 2015 on the 40mm Everose Yacht-Master and comprises of two titanium blades in arced shapes, which make the base “skeleton” of the strap. The blades are covered by a black elastomer (rubber) which has two “fins” on the underside to raise the rubber from the wrist slightly to improve ventilation and comfort, as well as increasing the stability of the watch and reducing the propensity of a heavier watch head to spin on the wrist. As the bracelet cannot be cut to size, Rolex offers it in several different sizes to accommodate all wrists, and the fitted clasp allows for both micro-adjustment and has an easy link feature to take care of any change in wrist size due to heat and humidity. Its supremely comfortable and robust, and is, in my humble opinion, the perfect bracelet for this particular reference. The use of both matte ceramic and Oysterflex in this instance is Rolex playing a sneaky blinder, because if you want the increased size, Oysterflex, and a non gloss ceramic, the YM42 is your only option. Rolex haven’t released a Sub or SeaDweller with a matte bezel, or on Oysterflex so Rolex have very cleverly created a funnel from those who want matte and rubber straight to the YM line which has done the job as Yacht-Masters have seen a switch from being a faintly forgotten about member the professional line, to increased popularity and waiting lists. Job done. The case is 18 carat white gold with thick lugs and flat polished case sides, and the bezel is a matte ceramic with raised polished numbers. No surprises from the crown there.

The dial, however, is the show-piece of this particular model. It’s a “Falcon Eye” which is a stone from the Tiger eye family (technical term - unreplaced crocidolite) but rather than exhibiting flashes of gold and brown like the tiger, the falcon eye exhibits flashes of mid and dark blue with occasional green or grey bands.  

The stone is said to have both calming and protective properties, which makes it an ideal talisman for dealing with traffic, children, GP receptionists, and customer service hotlines as well as excelling in its default setting of yachts, boats, decks, bars, clubs and snorkelling.  

The wonderful thing about this dial is that in some lights, it looks utterly black and unassuming, but when the light hits it glints into life and displays some captivating blue and grey striations which brings a bit of restrained partying to the proceedings. Given that low key extravagance has become pretty synonymous with the Yacht-Master line in general, it’s a triumph.  

I suppose that drawing this review to a close, a sensible question to ask would be would I choose this Yacht-Master 42 over any of its competitors, whether that’s a precious metal or steel Sub, a GMT, or even a Daytona, as these pieces are that natural competitors. I have to say, yes. In a Falcon-Eyed flash.

Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 42 offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display. The broad hands and hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.

All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity.

Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Jewelers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers.

Tourneau I Bucherer is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Jewelers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.

Light and robust, the new Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium is the ally of those seeking freedom of movement. Especially suited to the demands and pressures of competitive sailing, it puts watchmaking excellence at the service of sporting performance.

The Yacht-Master 42 is the second watch in RLX titanium released by Rolex after the Oyster Per-petual Deepsea Challenge, confirming that light-ness is a quality to be taken seriously.

7 BREATHTAKING observation decks for spectacular views of Moscow

1. Observation decks at Moscow City

There are two main observation decks in the Moscow City business district. They offer a 360-degree panoramic view of the Russian capital.

The first is located on the 56th floor of the Empire Tower . It can only be accessed with a tour, which takes place every 30 minutes. It is located at a height of 215 meters, occupies an entire floor.

However, the highest observation deck – PANORAMA 360 – is located on the 89th floor of the Federation Tower.  It takes less than a minute to access it by elevator and you can visit it without a tour, but remember to purchase a ticket first!

Presnenskaya Naberezhnaya, 12 

2. Ostankino TV Tower

An excursion to the Ostankino TV Tower includes visits to two observation decks: a covered one at a height of 337 meters and an open one at a height of 340 meters. For a long time (until the PANORAMA 360 was opened), Ostankino Tower offered the highest observation point in Moscow. The viewing platforms here offer excellent views of VDNKh, the Botanical Gardens, the Moscow City skyscrapers and many other parts of Moscow.

Once you are here, it’s worth having a drink or something to eat at the café. It has a revolving floor and makes a full circle every 40 minutes!

Akademika Koroleva St, 15

3. Ivan the Great Bell Tower

Once you are inside the Kremlin, you can climb 137 steps up to the viewing platform at the top of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower , which is 25 meters tall. From the top, you get splendid views of the Cathedral Square inside the Kremlin and the Moskva River embankments.

4. Observation deck at the Central Children's Store

There is a small observation deck on the rooftop of the newly renovated Central Children's Store in Lubyanka, offering up-close views of central Moscow, including the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, Christ the Savior Cathedral and the city's central streets. You can use the tower viewers installed there to take a closer look at the Kremlin towers or the three-tier gilded inscription under the dome of Ivan the Great Bell Tower. Let us know what you think it says!

5. Sparrow Hills

The viewing platform on the steep bank of the Moskva River can be rightly called one of Moscow's main sites. Entrance is free and it offers panoramic views of central Moscow, the Luzhniki stadium and the famous Seven Sisters buildings.

Since 2018, it can also be reached by a cable car from the Luzhniki stadium – the views that you will experience during the ride in the cable car are no less spectacular!

Universitetskaya Square   

 7. Observation deck at Gorky Park

A walk in Gorky Park would not be complete without a visit to its observation deck situated on the roof of the Main Entrance’s arch. From there you can see many interesting things, and if you make use of the tower viewers, you’ll be able to take a closer look at the park alleys, as well as the Krymsky Bridge, the Seven Sisters buildings and Christ the Savior Cathedral.

Krymsky Val, 9

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
