The regatta chronograph makes a grand return with the new-generation Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II. Sleek, simplified, and modernized, the watch features an entirely redesigned programmable countdown with a mechanical memory and on-the-fly synchronization. To assist sailors during the critical start sequence of races, the countdown is now programmed exclusively via the lower pusher.

To offer enhanced clarity, the countdown minutes and seconds hands now turn counterclockwise. This dual functional revolution is made possible by calibre 4162, a movement incorporating innovative technical solutions and large index hour markers typical of Rolex Professional watches. The countdown timer is set on a flange, while a graduated bidirectional rotatable bezel enables the reading of time intervals.

Nautical aesthetics are prioritized in the design, with pusher geometry inspired by the form of winches. Available in Oystersteel or 18 ct yellow gold, the watch features a white matt lacquer dial that contrasts beautifully with a blue Cerachrom bezel insert. It is an exceptional tool watch that enables full command of the timings crucial to a regatta.
