Mastering the start

A distinctive bezel

The Yacht-Master is easily recognised by its bidirectional rotatable bezel with a 60-minute graduation, crafted entirely in precious metal – Everose gold or platinum. It is also available with a black Cerachrom insert in high-technology ceramic. The polished raised graduations and numerals stand out clearly against the matt background. Allowing the wearer to read a sailing time, such as the interval between two buoys, this functional bezel is essential to the watch’s unique character.

Chromalight display

The Yacht-Master remains highly legible in all conditions, even in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display: its large hour markers and broad hands are filled or coated with a luminescent material that emits a long-lasting blue glow.
