Authentic Reference Context & Specifications

The genuine Rolex Yacht-Master 42 reference M226658-0001 sets the standard for maritime mastery, boasting an Oyster case in 42 mm 18 ct yellow gold with a monobloc middle, screw-down case back, and Triplock crown for superior sealing. Its bidirectional rotatable bezel features a matt black Cerachrom ceramic insert with polished raised 18 ct yellow gold numerals and graduations, ideal for timing nautical distances.

Powered by the in-house Calibre 3235 perpetual mechanical self-winding movement, it achieves -2/+2 sec/day precision (after casing), a 70-hour power reserve, and functions including centre hour/minute/seconds hands, instantaneous date with rapid setting, and stop-seconds. The black dial ensures exceptional legibility via Chromalight lume, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal includes a Cyclops lens over the date. Water resistance reaches 100 metres / 330 feet, complemented by the patented Oysterflex bracelet with flexible titanium/nickel alloy blades overmoulded in high-performance black elastomer, secured by an Oysterlock safety clasp with Glidelock extension for 15 mm tool-free adjustment in 2.5 mm increments.

This replica faithfully emulates these hallmarks using a Super Clone 3235 automatic movement for smooth sweeping seconds, quick-set date, and reliable daily performance.
