The update concerns the dial only - details of the dial. The main objective of Rolex was to increase the legibility of this professional watch, in order to make sure that no confusion can be possible – and probably to give it a bit more of Rolex DNA. For that, the dial of the Rolex Yacht-Master II now features a triangular hour marker at 12 o’clock and a rectangular hour marker at 6 o’clock for more intuitive reading of the watch – instead of square markers all around the dial. 12 and 6 markers are now clearly distinguished from the rest of the dial. More replica Rolex watches.
The hands have been updated too. Before this facelift, the replica Rolex Yacht-Master II featured rather thin baton hands (blued on the steel version, or matching the case on gold versions) with few luminescent material. As of 2017, the Yacht-Master will rely on the iconic “Mercedes” hand for the hour, with a large luminescent disc, clearly distinguishes it from the minute hand -which still shows a baton shape, however it is now widely opened on its end, in order not to obstruct the view on the Regatta countdown.
Rolex Yacht-Master II remains unchanged. It still relies on its 44mm case water-resistant to 100m, an Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock folding safety clasp and Easylink 5mm comfort extension link (the center link of the bracelet remains polished, while the rest is satin-finished), a Triplock winding crown, protected by a crown guard that is an integral part of the middle case, screwed caseback (plain, no sapphire crystal) and a blue ceramic bezel with platinum- or gold-PVD numerals and inscriptions (to the exception of the white gold version, which keeps it sold platinum bezel).
Inside, the impressive calibre 4161, a mechanical chronograph movement with column wheel and vertical clutch exclusive to the Rolex Yacht-Master II (very different from the 4130 of the Daytona), with automatic winding in both direction, 72-hour power reserve, antimagnetic Parachrom hairspring and large balance wheel with variable inertia.
