Product Features:

【Case】RLX aviation-grade titanium alloy integrally formed case, weighing only 100 grams. It has strong physical properties, enhanced compressive performance, corrosion resistance, and scratch resistance. High-strength brushed polishing achieves the hardness level of genuine products, making it resistant to wear during long-term wear. The top edge chamfering of the middle case lugs achieves the same metallic luster as the genuine product, perfectly replicating the subtle details.

【Bezel】The Yacht-Master's usual matte black Cerachrom ceramic bezel with polished three-dimensional numerals and markers. The ceramic molded bezel's first 15 minutes are marked with minute markers for more precise timing.

【Bracelet】Upgraded bracelet buckle with sandblasted effect, laser-engraved black coding. The edges of the bracelet links and the side of the clasp cover show distinct matte textures. Made entirely of titanium alloy, the Grade 5 titanium metal is known for its lightness, corrosion resistance, and other advantages.

【Movement】Equipped with the Shanghai 3235 movement, a truly extended 72-hour power reserve. It has undergone rigorous stability performance testing to ensure delivery to watch enthusiasts in the best condition. It features a rich black finely brushed dial and top-level Swiss ice-blue luminous material. It creates an ideal choice for a successful journey, setting sail for distant voyages.

2023 New Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42

In 2023, Rolex introduced the new Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium for the first time. This new watch embodies the distinctive features of RLX titanium models, with clearly visible brushed textures on the mid-case, bracelet links, and clasp sides. The chamfered edges of the mid-case lugs shine with a brilliant luster, and the crown guards are polished to showcase meticulous craftsmanship.

The titanium Yacht-Master 42 continues the design ethos of its series, including a rotatable bezel and screw-down crown, which have led many to mistakenly believe it is a diving watch, similar to the famous Submariner. However, according to the brand’s positioning, the Yacht-Master is "a watch for sailing,” designed for yachting enthusiasts. Its water resistance is only 100 meters, focusing less on water resistance compared to diving watches.

The TW+ Factory titanium Yacht-Master features a bidirectional rotating bezel with a matte Cerachrom ceramic insert and polished three-dimensional markers and numerals, following the 2019 original aesthetic. The watch is fitted with a refined matte dial and an Oyster bracelet equipped with an Easylink extension system.

RLX Titanium: Exceptional and Versatile

RLX titanium, a specially selected Grade 5 titanium alloy, retains the characteristics of all titanium alloys: lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. Additionally, RLX titanium can be processed to achieve either polished or brushed finishes, according to the brand’s requirements. Due to its high mechanical strength, RLX titanium requires a special set of processing techniques.

Compared to 904L steel, titanium's significant advantage is its lightness. The TW+ Factory’s titanium Yacht-Master weighs approximately 106 grams, about 50 grams lighter than the standard Submariner, proving the use of genuine titanium material.

The new Yacht-Master 42 features a bidirectional rotating bezel with a matte Cerachrom ceramic insert marked with a 60-minute scale. The first 15 minutes are marked for precise interval timing, with the bezel edge designed for easy grip and rotation. The sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating and a high-transparency finish.

Exceptional Details

The dial of the TW+ Factory’s titanium Yacht-Master features excellent three-dimensional printing and solid central axis processing. However, the finishing of the hands is slightly inferior compared to those from factories like Clean or VS, and the hands are thinner. Notably, the Yacht-Master’s dial markers are flatter than those on the Submariner, a detail that TW+ has accurately replicated.

Apart from the mirror-polished lugs and crown guards, the watch predominantly features a satin finish, combined with a matte bezel and dial, giving it a "grey warrior" look. The wide bevels on the four lugs are notably large, accurately replicating the original's finishing.

The TW+ Factory’s Yacht-Master is powered by the newly upgraded Shanghai 3235 movement, providing a 72-hour power reserve, matching the power reserve of the Dandong movement. This upgrade in the Shanghai 3235 movement is now implemented in the TW+ titanium Yacht-Master.
