In 1992, Rolex launched the Rolex Yacht-Master ( the 18k yellow gold 16628) which is a combined sailing and divers watch. With its sporty features, this solid gold Rolex Yacht-Master became an instant success.

In addition to its practical functions, the Rolex Yacht-Master also looks attractive and aesthetic. The full-size men’s Yacht-Master is measured at 40mm, however, the time-lapse bezel is quite fat and gives the Yacht-Master a larger, heavier look. This aesthetic feature is also true of the 29mm Lady Yacht-Master and 35mm mid size; you definitely get a lot of bang for your buck with the Yacht-Master if you are looking for an “oversized” sport style watch. Since 1992, there have been no major changes in design or mechanics for the Yacht-Master. The same 3135 automatic movement is used and the original aesthetics have stayed intact. The use of tritium on the dial markers have now been excluded and the eventual upgrade of inner bezel engraving in the late 2000s is the only significant change.

It can be frustrating when you are unable to read the time on your watch due to poor lighting, but you can solve this problem by purchasing the watches with luminous dials. Luminescent dials are relevant for reading the dial in the dark- particularly underwater. All divers watches must be equipped with a luminescent dial.

Variety of materials and chemicals have been used over the years to bring luminescence, or lume, to wrist watches. The early practice of applying lume to wrist watches, around the time of World War I, involved mixing the radioactive material radium with zinc sulfide. However the glow of radium alone was not bright enough and the amount required to make it useful would emit too much harmful radiation. In 1968, the use of Radium in wrist watches was banned requiring alternative methods of lume to be used. Tritium became the material of choice. The difference between radium and tritium is the level of radiation and half-life of the materials. The measure of radiation in radium is at the top of the scale with a 20 while tritium is at the other end with a ranking of 1, or about that of getting an x-ray. In recent years, tritium has made a comeback after in the form of tritium gas tubes. These small glass tubes contain a phosphor layer inside and are filled with tritium gas; these are known by gaseous tritium light source (GTLS). The tritium undergoes beta decay which releases electrons that trigger the phosphor layer causing it to glow.

Today Rolex has a marquis presence in the sport. In 2013, Rolex became a Global Partner and Official Timepiece of Formula 1, the pinnacle of motor sports. Like Rolex, Formula 1 is present the world over, with 21 races organized in 21 countries across five continents. Being both the Official Formula 1 Racing Timekeeper and Official Timepieces of Formula 1 is big achievement and the role had previously been occupied by brands like Jacques LeMans, Tag Heuer, and most recently Hublot.

Since the 1960 s, Rolex invited racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart to join the Rolex outstanding representative team, who was one of the most famous drivers enjoying great reputation in the filed of Formula One in the past forty years. Sir Jackie Stewart for three times won as formula one championship, respectively in 1969, 1971 and 1973, and 27 times won the championships in the Sub-station.

Rolex brand since the 1930 s has been wedded in the competition of several prominent drivers, including Sir Malcolm Campbell, who was driving in 1935 when the world land fastest speed record holder "Bluebird" broke the record of per hour 300 MPH (483 km/h), and Sir Malcolm Campbell was wearing Rolex Oyster Perpetural replica to finish the event and won the event.

In 1959, the Rolex brand established relations of cooperation with the Daytona International Speedway. A few years later, Rolex engraved the "DAYTONA" on the watch dial of the classic Rolex daytona  which is specially designed for racing drivers. Since then, Rolex’s cooperation with the car industry is more and more close. Since 1992, the Rolex named sponsorship in the Rolex 24 At Daytona which was hold in Florida, and in 2001 become the hour timing chronograph of the world's oldest car endurance - 24 Hours of Le Mans. 

A chronometer is a very accurate mechanical watch. Chronometer is a designation given to a watch that has the highest standard of precision. The designation is given to automatic and mechanical movement watches, not those that run with quartz movement. A watch carrying the chronometer certification has passed vigorous tests demanded by the Swiss Official Chronometer Control (COSC). A chronometer's mechanical movement is close to perfection, so the time it displays is almost always accurate. Watches such as Rolex that are true Chronometers, will have a designation on the dial indicating “Officially Certified.”  The dial of every COSC certified Rolex wristwatch is the marking “Superlative Chronometer – Officially Certified.”  Other watches such as Breitling and Omega also have Officially Certified on the dial after being COSC tested.

A chronograph, on the other hand is a watch that was made with a built-in stopwatch feature- have one or more sub-dials or small liquid crystal display panel to monitor elapsed time. In addition, chronographs have extra pushers to the crown for the start, stop, and reset functions. Most chronographs have two or three subdials listing hours, minutes, and seconds. The chronograph is one function that the vast majority of men want in a watch, so chronograph watch is more popular nowadays. A watch can be both a chronometer and have a chronograph function. However, they can also be separate. Just because a watch is a chronometer does not mean it has a chronograph and vice versa. Chronographs such as the Replica Rolex Daytona and the newer Omega Speedmasters can also be certified as Chronometers, and perhaps that’s why people confuse the terms, but a Chronograph is easy to discern by the subdials and the reset buttons in the side of the case. Although the two words sound and appear similar, they are entirely different. 

With the popularity of mechanical watches, you’ve probably heard the term “power reserve.” But what does power reserve really mean? power reserve indicates the amount of time the movement can dispense constant energy (the autonomy) before the watch needs to be wound. Mechanical watches are the kind of watches you need to wind up manually everyday or almost everyday. Some of them have a power reserve of 2-3 days (48-72 hours), some of them a solid week/7 days of power reserve. Some of these mechanical watches have a “power reserve display” on their dials which tells you when you need to manually wind up the watch again before it stops. However, most mechanical watches don’t have a power reserve display on their dials. It’s recommended that you wind them up manually every day or every second day.

Rolex watches require a certain amount of reserve power in order for the movement to operate properly. When your Rolex has been serviced and returned it is necessary to manually wind the movement. You will need to un-screw the crown. The first position is the winding position. From this position, wind your Rolex 40 full turns of the crown. When winding is completed, screw the crown down to its original position. Your Rolex will now have the correct amount of reserve power to properly operate the movement. From this point on, depending upon your activity level, your Rolex should wind automatically maintaining the correct amount of power.

Replica Rolex Air-king watches are be loved for their grave, practical, not flashy style by successful people. As the picture shows, this new Rolex Air-King appearing in Baselworld 2016, combines a more audacious design with the most advanced technology available at Rolex.

Highest steel grade

Rolex is very aggressive when it comes to metal. In 1985, Rolex started using the 904L stainless steel alloy, which is one of the toughest steel grades you can find today. The 904L is used primarily in the aerospace and chemical industries and in the world of high-technology. The company makes use of an expensive grade, 904L and they say that this grade is resistant to pitting. The grade requires better machinery to be worked upon and Rolex had to invest a lot in upgrading the machinery, however, the payoff was worth it. Few steel grades, if any, can match the 904L stainless steel alloy used by Rolex. Also, the company has its own foundry where gold and platinum are made.
