Watch of the Week: Rolex Yacht-Master
Rarely has a name of a timepiece been more appropriate than with the Rolex Yacht-Master, because if you own a yacht, this is the watch to wear. While deeply rooted in Rolex’s sailing heritage, a field in which they have been active since the 1950s, it was first launched in 1992.

Watch of the Week: Rolex Yacht-Master 42
When it comes to Rolex’s sports watches, the focus is often on their famed Daytona, GMT-Master, Explorer of Submariner, rather than the Yacht-Master. Even today can the Yacht-Master be considered a new kid on the block, as this model wasn’t introduced until 1992 and doesn’t have such a long history as the other Rolex sports models mentioned. Some refer to it as the Submariner’s casual sibling, and there is some truth to this. While visually, it has some similarities, there are also differences. The 60-minute graduated bezel is bidirectional, and Yacht-Master is ‘only’ waterproof to 100 meters. In effect, this makes it the perfect watch for people who enjoy all kinds of water sports but don’t scuba dive. READ MORE

Four Watch Designs That Stood The Test Of Time
Staying power is something that every watch brand hopes for when they launch a new model. Achieving this is far more complicated than it might seem at first. Many new models will be tweaked in their design within a relatively short period after their launch, while others ride a wave of fashion only to be discontinued as this wave is taken over by another one. Only with a rare few, the passing of time doesn’t seem to get a hold of them. They have become icons for their respective brands, and benchmarks for the rest of the industry. But that doesn’t mean that they did it by merely being idle. READ MORE
