Yacht Master II Ref.116680

Reference 116680 is an all-stainless steel Yacht-Master II that has been manufactured since 2013. The long-awaited all-stainless steel model that had never existed before in the Yacht-Master II, a high-end Yacht-Master model, attracted attention.
The movement is equipped with Cal.4161, which is an improved version of Cal.4160, and the parts for the countdown function have been improved to improve maintainability. The case and bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel, while the bezel is made of Cerachrom, a proprietary Rolex patent. The color development of the dial is white (white).

As a minor change in 2017, the design of the dial and hour hand was greatly changed. The hour hand has changed from a steel baton type to an 18K white gold Benz hand, and the coating has been changed from blue to metallic Rhodium. The hour markers, which were all square, now have an inverted triangle at 12 o'clock and a rectangle at 6 o'clock. It has become a minor change that further enhances sportiness and unity.

The Yacht-Master II is a Rolex sports model made for yacht racing and is equipped with the world's only chronograph with a mechanical memory. Rolex's patented technology called the Ring Command Bezel links the movement and the bezel, allowing programming of the countdown function and counting down from up to 10 minutes.
