No name in watches evokes quite the image that Rolex does. Not only does it signify class and elegance, but durability, excellence, and practicality. Oh, and price!
The Yachtmaster is no exception. Its thirty-one jewel Oyster Perpetual movement is an automatic, mechanical movement, that has come to be known as one of the most sought-after movements among watch collectors.
While mechanical movements are slightly less accurate than quartz movements, they are symbols of the centuries old craft of watch-making. The movements are intricate works of art and many high-end mechanical watch makers have vowed never to produce quartz watches.
The jewelry-style Yachtmaster features water resistance to thirty meters, a platinum rotating bezel and a synthetic sapphire crystal for scratch resistance.
