Unveiled in 2007 and originally manufactured in either yellow or white gold, the Yacht-Master II was a revolutionary timekeeping invention designed by Rolex used for yachting. The regatta chronograph function could be easily set through the bezel and allow for imitation of the timer. The proprietary Ring Command System allows the bezel to work directly with the movement to adjust the countdown timer while on the water.
