Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Friends who like the Rolex Yacht-Master series often consult us on which of the two sizes of the Rolex Yacht-Master, 40mm or 42mm, is more suitable. Today, we will share how to choose the Rolex Yacht-Master that suits you.
Let’s take the 40mm Rose Gold Yacht-Master m126655-0002 and the 42mm White Gold Yacht-Master m226659-0002 as examples to introduce.
First of all, the biggest difference between them is the size. The 40mm Rose Gold Yacht-Master has the same size as the second-generation Submariner, which is a very classic dial size for Rolex. The m126655 Yacht-Master features a rose gold case and is equipped with the 3235 movement, with a theoretical power reserve of about 72 hours. If your wrist is relatively thin, you can choose the 40mm Yacht-Master.
The 42mm White Gold Yacht-Master was released by Rolex in 2019, also powered by the 3235 movement. It is 2mm larger in size. Although the number doesn’t seem like much, you can actually feel the difference when wearing it.
Both Yacht-Master models are paired with a matte black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, and the side crown is equipped with Rolex’s patented Triplock triple waterproof system. Meanwhile, compared with the previous-generation 3135 movement, the 3235 movement is more excellent in terms of precision, shock resistance, and anti-magnetism.
In addition, in terms of color and style, the 40mm Yacht-Master offers more choices, including not only rubber strap versions but also steel strap versions with gray dials, steel strap versions with blue dials, and two-tone gold and steel strap versions. The 42mm Yacht-Master, on the other hand, includes white gold rubber strap versions and titanium case steel strap versions.
Today, we have introduced the 40mm and 42mm sizes of the Rolex Yacht-Master. For most watch enthusiasts, you can mainly compare them in terms of color and size to choose the favorite watch that suits you.
