First introduced in 2007, the Yacht-Master II was conceived out of a professional need as a yachting watch incorporating both a flyback chronograph and a programmable regatta timer. By rotating the ‘command module’ bezel the user can alter the central countdown from 10 to 1 minute according to the sailing regatta rules they are participating in. Housed in an imposing and luxurious 44-mm white gold case with its distinctive three dimensional bezel and in-house caliber 4160, the Yacht-Master II has become a firm favorite with the yachting community and collector community alike.
