The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium with an intense black dial and an Oyster bracelet.

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.

Intense black 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.

RLX titanium

Ultralight resistance

RLX titanium is a grade 5 titanium alloy specially selected by Rolex. Like all titanium alloys, it is especially lightweight and is noted for its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

Another characteristic of RLX titanium is the possibility of working it to give a polished or satin finish according to the brand’s specifications. Its high mechanical strength makes it complex to work with, and the decision to use it has required the introduction of special production processes.

The Oyster bracelet

Alchemy of form and function.

The Yacht-Master 42, made from RLX titanium, is fitted on an Oyster bracelet. Developed at the end of the 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet remains the most universal in the Oyster Perpetual collection and is known for its robustness.

The Oyster bracelet of this new version of the Yacht-Master 42 features the Oysterlock folding safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening. It is also equipped with the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex, which allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm. The Oyster bracelet in RLX titanium also includes patented ceramic inserts – designed by the brand – inside the links to enhance its flexibility on the wrist and its longevity.

Watches In The Wild The Road Through America, Episode 1: A Model Of Mass Production

At 8:30 AM last Wednesday (Geneva time), when everyone stateside was tucked into their beds, the entire set of new Rolex novelties hit the internet. We immediately turned our focus to a certain left-sided crown GMT-Master II with a green and black bezel, and the new Air-King with crown guards and professional case. But those weren't the only releases from The Crown this year. In fact, when the HODINKEE team visited the Rolex booth (I really need to stop calling these things booths) at Watches & Wonders, one collection took us all by surprise: The Yacht-Master.

Now, I don't have a complete understanding of the personal lives of my colleagues, but I think it's fair for me to say that not one of us is a competitive yachts-person and yet nearly every one of us was jazzed to handle the new 42mm Yacht-Master in yellow gold on the Oysterflex bracelet. Yellow gold has a tendency to do that.

In fact, this is one of the reasons I am so happy that trade shows are back and we're able to handle watches in person and report back to you, the readers, on our observations. I think it's likely that we would have overlooked this release as nothing more than a change in metal. But to my mind, this new case material results in a Yacht-Master the way it always should have been: Flashy, but no less sporty. The yellow gold execution just feels right.

Of course, that wasn't the only news to come off the yacht. We weren't able to see it, but Rolex unveiled a new white gold variant with something called a Falcon's Eye dial which looks about as cool as anything I've seen out of the "house that Wilsdorf built" in years. I'll reserve full judgment until I see it in person, though.

Yacht-Master with Falcon's Eye dial

But there was even more yacht-watch action that had the room waiting to touch and feel (I'll never stop saying that). I'm talking about the 40mm white gold Yacht-Master with diamond-set lugs, and a rotating bezel fully set with an array of colorful sapphires.

I don't want this point to be lost on anyone. The bezel has no text, numerals, or any useful markings. It's just adorned with sapphires and yet – Rolex still made it rotate. You just have to love that. It almost bears repeating the "no sapphire left unturned" joke I made in the introductory article. Well, I guess I just repeated it anyway.

It really is interesting that the watches you think we'd scoff at in press photos are the ones we were most excited to try on in person. The sapphire YM made its way around the table multiple times, as each of us wanted a second and third time with it on the wrist. From a size perspective, I have always loved the 40mm YM , and the colorful blingy-ness of this one really makes it a larger-than-life timepiece.

But it was the YG YM that really caught my eye. Prior to W&W, we wrote an article about Rolex watches we hoped to see this year. I chose one I knew we would never see, which was a Submariner with a Yacht-Master bezel. I just love the matte-ceramic look and feel of this bezel with the tone-on-tone raised numerals. For a model range that comes predominantly in precious metals, it is interesting to see such a utilitarian, toolish look paired with gold. This is in contrast to the steel Submariner, which utilizes a shiny Cerachrom bezel.

On the wrist, the 42mm version wears exactly like you would expect a 42mm watch to wear. It isn't deceptively small, or overly large – but it is big. I have a six-and-a-third-inch wrist and I am not sure I could wear this one daily. Much of that has to do with the Oysterflex bracelet – and yes it is technically a bracelet and not a strap. You see, as comfortable as it is (and it's mighty comfortable), it bows out slightly and doesn't hug the wrist as tightly as a traditional bracelet does. Unfortunately, this makes a 42mm watch wear exactly as advertised, which in my case makes the watch a tad too big (though fingers crossed for a future 37mm version).

This was a bit of a bummer for me to experience in the room because as a design object, the yellow gold Yacht-Master is a total stunner. The black dial, maxi lume plots, and the date window all work to form a well-proportioned timepiece. Of course, this is a purely aesthetic update and the watch continues to feature the Superlative Chronometer-rated 3235 caliber.

I really think the entire YM collection is criminally underrated by the general watch-loving public, but I also understand that price is a factor in these things, and at $28,300 the yellow gold model isn't necessarily a bargain. Of course you can always spring for the steel model with platinum bezel in 40mm sizing, but that really feels like a different watch entirely.

My high-level observations of this watch are that it's a logical addition to the Yacht-Master fray. I suspect we'll see more of these in the wild than we did the white gold model because WG is a metal that flies under the radar. If you're buying gold, you want someone to know. It has the heft you want from a solid gold watch, but it's balanced by the cushioned comfort of the Oysterflex. In a world where steel Rolex sport watches are trending around the price of this model on the secondary market, is it so crazy to spring for YG and get your name on the warranty card?

OYSTER PERPETUAL YACHT-MASTER 42

MASTERING LIGHTNESS

Light and robust, the new Yacht-Master 42, in RLX titanium, is the ally of those who revel in freedom. Especially suited to the demands and pressures of competitive sailing, it delivers exceptional performance.

Rolex is presenting a new version of the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42. This nautical watch is introduced for the first time in RLX titanium – a particularly strong but lightweight alloy – and is fitted on an Oyster bracelet. The new version stands out for its technical satin finish – a satin finish with a visible grain, a feature of Rolex watches in RLX titanium – which extends to the middle case sides, the edges of the bracelet links and the sides of the clasp cover. The chamfered top edges of the middle case lugs have a high-sheen finish, while the crown guard is polished. With its bidirectional rotatable bezel fitted with a Cerachrom insert in matt black ceramic featuring raised and polished numerals and graduations, the Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium remains faithful to the aesthetics of the original model, unveiled in 2019. It is graced with an intense black dial in a fine satin finish, and its Oyster bracelet is equipped with the Easylink comfort extension link. The new version of the Yacht-Master 42 is equipped with calibre 3235, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology, enabling it to display the date as well as the hours, minutes and seconds. Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist.

THE CALL OF THE OPEN SEAS Launched in 1992, the Yacht-Master was designed specifically for navigators and skippers. Embodying the rich heritage that has bound Rolex and the world of sailing since the 1950s, this Professional-category watch provides a perfect blend of functionality and nautical style, making it equally at home on and off the water. An emblematic nautical timepiece, it is easily recognized by its bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel made entirely from precious metal or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-technology ceramic.

RLX TITANIUM  RLX titanium is a grade 5 titanium alloy specially selected by Rolex. Like all titanium alloys, it is especially lightweight and is noted for its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Another characteristic of RLX titanium is the possibility of working it to give a polished or satin finish according to the brand’s specifications. Its high mechanical strength makes it complex to work with, and the decision to use it has required the introduction of special production processes.

HIGH-TECHNOLOGY CERAMIC Rolex played a pioneering role in the development of special ceramics for creating monobloc bezels and bezel inserts. Not only are these materials virtually scratchproof, their colours are also of a rare intensity and are resistant to environmental effects. In addition, thanks to its chemical composition, the high-tech ceramic is inert and cannot corrode. Rolex has developed exclusive expertise and innovative manufacturing methods that grant it complete independence in the production of these ceramic components. On the new version of the Yacht-Master 42, the bidirectional rotatable bezel is fitted with a 60-minute graduated Cerachrom insert in matt black ceramic. Its raised graduations and numerals are first moulded into the ceramic and then polished. The first 15 minutes are graduated minute-by-minute to allow time intervals to be read with great precision. The bezel can also be turned with ease thanks to its knurled edge, which offers excellent grip.

OYSTER CASE, SYMBOL OF WATERPROOFNESS  A paragon of robustness and reliability, the 42 mm Oyster case of the new Yacht-Master 42 is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). The middle case is crafted from a solid block of RLX titanium. Its case back, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed down with a special tool that allows only Rolex watchmakers to access the movement. The Triplock winding crown, fitted with a triple waterproofness system and protected by an integral crown guard, screws down securely against the case. The crystal, which features a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the date, is made of virtually scratchproof sapphire and benefits from an anti-reflective coating. The waterproof Oyster case provides optimal protection for the movement it houses. 

PERPETUAL CALIBRE 3235  The new version of the Yacht-Master 42 is equipped with calibre 3235, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex that was released in 2015 and has been fitted on this model since its launch in 2019. A distillation of technology, this self-winding mechanical movement delivers outstanding performance in terms of precision, power reserve, convenience and reliability.   Calibre 3235 incorporates the patented Chronergy escapement, which combines high energy efficiency with great dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, this escapement is resistant to strong magnetic fields. The movement is fitted with a blue Parachrom hairspring, manufactured by Rolex in a paramagnetic alloy. The hairspring offers great stability in the face of temperature variations as well as high resistance to shocks. It is equipped with a Rolex overcoil, ensuring the calibre’s regularity in any position. The oscillator is mounted on the Rolex-designed, patented high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, increasing the movement’s shock resistance. The oscillating weight is now fitted with an optimized ball bearing. Calibre 3235 is equipped with a self-winding system via a Perpetual rotor. Thanks to its barrel architecture and the escapement’s superior efficiency, the power reserve of calibre 3235 extends to approximately 70 hours. 

OYSTER BRACELET AND OYSTERLOCK SAFETY CLASP  The new version of the Yacht-Master 42, made from RLX titanium, is fitted on an Oyster bracelet. Developed at the end of the 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet remains the most universal in the Oyster Perpetual collection and is known for its robustness. The Oyster bracelet of this new version of the Yacht-Master 42 features the Oysterlock folding safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening. It is also equipped with the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex, which allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm. The Oyster bracelet in RLX titanium also includes patented ceramic inserts – designed by the brand – inside the links to enhance its flexibility on the wrist and its longevity.

SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER CERTIFICATION Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria, following the official certification of the movements by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The in-house certification tests apply to the fully assembled watch, after casing the movement, guaranteeing superlative performance on the wrist in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding. The precision of a Rolex Superlative Chronometer is of the order of −2 /+2 seconds per day – the rate deviation tolerated by the brand for a finished watch is significantly smaller than that accepted by COSC for official certification of the movement alone. The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.

Rolex Green Face Watches Ultimate Guide

An emerald-colored dial is bound to make any onlooker green with envy – and this is especially true when it comes to green Rolex watches . There’s something about that rich color that just pops against metals such as gold and silver; maybe it’s the contrast between the organic hue and its cool metallic frame? Regardless of the reason behind its allure, green is Rolex’s company color and although it was notably absent from the brand’s catalog for many years, it has started to play an increasingly large role, ever since it was first introduced alongside the 50th-anniversary edition of the Submariner.

Let’s take a closer look at the iconic pairing of the color green and Rolex watches, including why this popular tone is so appealing to luxury watch enthusiasts and some of the most sought-after green dial Rolex watches that you can buy on the secondary market.

Why Are Green Dial Rolex Watches So Popular?

Green is Rolex’s Signature Color

The first and most obvious reason why green Rolex watches are so popular is that green is Rolex’s signature hue and it can be found throughout its various boutiques and packaging materials. That’s also a big reason why Rolex includes green details on some of its watches, such as the dial and bezel, particularly on anniversary models .

Rolex is also closely associated with power and success, and green also happens to be the color of money. So, it isn’t too far of a stretch to make the connection between the two, as the color green typically carries luxurious connotations.

Overseas Markets

Over the years, there has been an increasing demand for green dial Rolex watches. Some experts tie it to the large growth of Chinese markets since green symbolizes success in Chinese culture. Rolex has had a big presence in China for a number of years – and now there are a lot more people with the money to wear it around their wrists.

Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116718LN

GMT-Master II 116718LN Key Features:

– Reference Number: 116718LN

– Case Size: 40mm

– Materials: 18k Yellow Gold

– Functions: Time w/ Running Seconds, Date Display, GMT Functionality

– Dial: Green w/ Luminous Markers

– Bezel: Bidirectional, Black Cerachrom Insert w/ 24-Hour Scale

– Crystal: Sapphire (Flat w/ Cyclops Lens)

– Movement: Rolex Caliber 3186

– Strap/Bracelet: Oyster Bracelet (18k Yellow Gold)

Take a moment to let that image sink in. The high-polish and satin-finished yellow gold case and bracelet pop against the bright anniversary green dial – the black bezel with its lustrous ceramic insert tying the two elements together perfectly. With this watch, you can enjoy everything you already love about a solid gold GMT-Master II. That includes the Caliber 3186 movement and the bi-directional bezel, complete with a 24-hour scale in contrasting yellow gold.

Then, there’s that green dial. In addition to its bright color with contrasting yellow gold text, the dial also displays the date and a secondary time zone with an additional GMT hand, while a waterproof Oyster case and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal keep it all safe. The luminous hour markers shine in yellow gold surrounds, enhancing the depth of the emerald, green hue. Everything about this watch shines a little bit extra against the radiant green dial, plus this is the only Rolex GMT watch to ever feature a green dial , so for those reasons, we had to introduce you to this highly-collectible and unique stunner.

Rolex Submariner Ref. 116610LV – “Hulk”

Submariner 116610LV Key Features:

– Reference Number: 116610LV

– Materials: Stainless Steel

– Functions: Time w/ Running Seconds, Date Display

– Dial: Green w/ Luminous Hour Markers

– Bezel: Unidirectional, Green Cerachrom Insert w/ 60-Minute Scale

– Movement: Rolex Caliber 3135

– Strap/Bracelet: Oyster Bracelet (Stainless Steel)

This timepiece is the model that first made green Rolex Submariner watches popular. The Rolex 116610LV was introduced in 2010 as the second green Submariner, featuring the brand’s signature green hue for both its dial and matching green Cerachrom bezel, which earned it the charming “Hulk” nickname. This green Rolex watch is one of the most sought-after pieces by enthusiasts and collectors today – and can you blame them?

The cult-favorite Rolex Hulk is everything you love about a classic Submariner and more. Just like the standard black version, it’s outfitted with an automatic Cal. 3135 movement, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, waterproof case with a unidirectional diver’s bezel, and those classic highly-luminous Mercedes hands. Protecting the green dial and bezel is a case made from sturdy 904L stainless steel, meaning that this watch is more than tough enough to stand up to active daily use.

Rolex recently discontinued this green icon in favor of the current ref. 126610LV, which still has a green Cerachom bezel, but lacks the stunning sunburst green dial of the “Hulk” Submariner 116610LV. If you’ve always wanted to add one of these green Submariner watches to your collection, now is the time to invest because prices seem to only get higher each year. Check out our Rolex Submariner 116610LV Hulk Ultimate Reference Guide .

Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 118138

Day-Date 118138 Key Features:

– Reference Number: 118138

– Case Size: 36mm

– Functions: Time w/ Running Seconds, Date Display, Day Indicator

– Bezel: Fixed, 18k Yellow Gold, Fluted Style

– Movement: Rolex Caliber 3155

– Strap/Bracelet: Green Leather Strap w/ 18k Yellow Gold Clasp

The Day-Date is the most prestigious of all Rolex watches and it was the first timepiece to show the day of the week written in full in addition to the date. Only ever crafted in either 18k gold or 950 platinum, the Rolex Day-Date is a symbol of success and is often the watch of choice among the world’s most notable public figures, including professional athletes, celebrities, and anyone else of significant influence. Its impressive reputation has since earned the Rolex Day-Date its “President’s Watch” nickname. If you’re interested in learning more read our Rolex Day Date green dial watches buying guide .

The reference 118138 features a leather strap in a rich green hue that is fitted with a matching 18k yellow gold clasp – a change of pace from the familiar metal bracelet with semi-circular links that is frequently found on the Day-Date collection. It matches perfectly with the metallic green dial and contrasts nicely against the warm hue of the yellow-gold case and fluted bezel. While this edition is certainly unlike most green Day-Date watches on the market , it stays true to the collection’s exquisite aesthetic with a sharply fluted bezel, flawless precious metal finish, and dual calendar apertures on the dial.

The Next Generation of Green Rolex Watches

Due to the fact that Rolex often chooses to feature the color green on anniversary-edition models, many of the most famous green Rolex watches are no longer in production and available at a retail level. In fact, each of the watches covered in this guide so far has since been discontinued to make way for the current generation of Rolex watches. Although not all of them were considered ultra-desirable while they remained in production, high demand and dwindling stock on the secondary market (particularly for sports watches) have turned them into prized collector’s items, with present-day prices far exceeding the values of their original brand-new retail prices.

Next, we turn our sights towards current production Rolex models and the best green dial watches from the brand’s contemporary collection. If you’re lucky enough to purchase one of these green Rolex watches at retail, they can have immense investment potential, trading hands up to three times their brand-new retail prices, simply due to their irresistible green dials.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 Ref. 124300

Oyster Perpetual 124300 Key Features:

– Reference Number: 124300

– Case Size: 41mm

– Functions: Time w/ Running Seconds

– Bezel: Fixed, Stainless Steel, Smooth Style

– Crystal: Sapphire (Flat)

– Movement: Rolex Caliber 3230

In a surprising move, Rolex released new Oyster Perpetual watches in 2020 with nine different dial color options. Of course, green was included in the newest offerings, earning the Oyster Perpetual 41 ref. 124300 a spot in our guide. The collection also made headlines with the debut of the first 41mm option within the Oyster Perpetual series, effectively replacing the beloved 39mm OP. It also marked the integration of the larger case size options to the newer Caliber 3230 Perpetual movement.

With a spectacular green dial, the Oyster Perpetual takes on a contemporary and fresh aesthetic for the 2020s while also holding on tight to its classic design ethos. For example, the Oyster Perpetual is still positioned as an entry-level watch and is currently only produced in stainless steel. Additionally, the series is only offered on the flat-link Oyster bracelet and with a smooth bezel.

Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228235

Day-Date 228235 Key Features:

– Reference Number: 228235

– Case Size: 40mm

– Materials: 18k Everose Gold

– Bezel: Fixed, 18k Everose Gold, Fluted Style

– Movement: Rolex Caliber 3255

– Strap/Bracelet: President Bracelet (18k Everose Gold)

Reference 228235 pairs the warm tones of Rolex’s proprietary 18k pink gold “Everose” with an Olive dial. It’s a soft take on the green dial Rolex that exudes a certain level of elegance and class. Additionally, Everose is trending among modern collectors and is a handsome alternative to white or yellow gold. As if that weren’t enough to win you over, this contemporary Day-Date also features a 40mm case, up 4mm from the classic Day-Date 36 and down 1mm from the now-discontinued Day-Date II with a 41mm case. Of course, the Presidential Rolex also brings with it the exclusivity of owning both a Rolex and a luxury watch crafted from valuable precious metal.

Turning our attention back to the Day Date green dial , the hour markers feature a clever configuration reimagined for the modern series that alternates stick markers with Roman numerals. This design choice prevents the dial from becoming too cluttered while including the brand’s iconic Roman numeral hour markers. They’re also faceted and reflect the light beautifully, just like the sharply fluted bezel. This ref. 228235 is a cool and contemporary take on the classic green dial Rolex that any luxury watch enthusiast can appreciate.

Rolex Daytona Ref. 116508

Daytona 116508 Key Features:

– Reference Number: 116508

– Functions: Time w/ Running Seconds, 12-Hour Chronograph

– Bezel: Fixed, 18k Yellow Gold w/ Tachymeter Scale

– Movement: Rolex Caliber 4130

The next green dial Rolex on our list is the Daytona ref. 116508 , which made its debut in 2016 alongside the steel and ceramic bezel ref. 116500. Both watches have since earned cult status among collectors – ref. 116500 for being the first stainless steel Daytona to include Cerachrom on the bezel and ref. 116508 for pairing a stunning yellow gold case and bracelet with a vibrant green dial. This exceptional design set has since earned the Rolex 116508 its impressive moniker “Gold Hulk.”

With celebrities, such as Jonah Hill and well-known watch enthusiast John Mayer, keeping the Daytona 116508 in the spotlight, it isn’t hard to imagine why it is one of the most sought-after gold Rolex watches the market. It features what Rolex enthusiasts refer to as a “racing green” dial, complete with gold-trimmed Chromalight hour markers, matching hands, and chronograph registers in gold, white, and red. It’s elegant without compromising the unwavering masculine motorsport aesthetic that many have come to expect from the Daytona series.

Green Is The New Black

Move over black and silver dials – green is here to stay. Whether it was the Chinese market or innovators at Rolex who turned green dials vogue, we’re just glad it happened. This subtle yet bold display of color intrigues anyone’s eye it catches and is sure to be a piece you often sport and cherish for a lifetime. Can’t get enough? Neither can we.

The color of money, precious emeralds, lush golf courses, green is also the hue most associated with Rolex. Whether you opt for a GMT Master II, Submariner, or Day-Date 36, stand out from the norm with these distinct Rolex watches dressed in green .
