Watches In The Wild The Road Through America, Episode 1: A Model Of Mass Production

There is big news, and there is Rolex big news, and in some ways, ne'er the twain shall meet. At Baselworld this year, Rolex debuted a first for the company: the very first, ever, Rolex delivered on a rubber strap. Now, for most companies this would have little effect on watch enthusiasts other than to evoke (very) tepid interest at best, and boredom at worst – but this is not an ordinary rubber strap, this is an official, designed-and-tested-and-thoroughly-obsessed-over-by-Rolex rubber strap. And thereby hangs a tale.

rolex yacht master 40mm oyster

The Yachtmaster, as we have mentioned in some of our previous coverage , occupies a somewhat particular place in Rolex’s lineup of sports watches; it shares water-resistance and a turning bezel with the Submariner (the latter is water resistant to 300 m while the Yachtmaster standard model is water resistant to 100 m). It is certainly not a tool watch; the Yachtmaster is offered in either platinum and steel, or gold and steel (that’s Rolesium and Rolesor, lest we forget) and is either quietly or unequivocally luxurious depending on what size and metal you go for (Rolex makes the Yachtmaster in both 35 mm and 40 mm sizes). 

The Yachtmaster’s history goes back to the first introduction of the watch in 1992, although the name, interestingly enough, appears on the dial of a prototype Yachtmaster Chronograph from the late 1960s (a watch so legendary I am actually forced to use the word; one of three known is in the collection of Mr. John Goldberger; we covered it – and a host of other remarkable ultra-rare watches from his collection – in a very memorable episode of Talking Watches ).

rolex yacht master 40mm oyster

The term “Yachtmaster” is also, incidentally, used for a certificate of competency in yachting which is issued by the Royal Yachting Association, although we’re unaware of any specific association between the RYA and the Yachtmaster watch.

Now, this newest version of the Yachtmaster does take a few pages from the existing Yachtmaster playbook: 100-meter water resistance, a bidirectional turning bezel, and a dial and hands that echo the Submariner. There are also a couple of features that may make vintage Sub enthusiasts wonder if Rolex mightn’t have an exceedingly subtle sense of humor; the gilt coronet and “Rolex,” and the red lettering, both features which according to HODINKEE founder Ben Clymer would have, had they appeared on a Rolex dive watch, made it instantly the single most popular watch in the modern Rolex inventory. The case is rose gold – Rolex famously makes their own, called Everose, in their own foundry, with a bit of platinum mixed in to prevent discoloration – and the bezel, rather than being some other precious metal (as is the case in the “standard” Yachtmasters) is in black Cerachrom – a very technical-looking matte black that contrasts sharply with the gold case. Somehow, between the rose gold, the Cerachrom bezel, and the new Oysterflex bracelet this manages to be the most luxurious and at the same time most technical Yachtmaster yet (leaving aside the Yachtmaster II, which we recently reviewed right here , but that is a watch that marches to the beat of a different drummer entirely).

rolex yacht master 40mm oyster

The two different versions of the Everose Yachtmaster (40 mm and 37 mm) sport different movements; the larger uses the caliber 3135 and the smaller, the newer 2236, which sports the “Syloxi” silicon balance spring (first used by Rolex in 2014).

rolex yacht master 40mm oyster

The Oysterflex bracelet is, in a nutshell, quite a piece of work. One of the most endearing traits of Rolex as a company is that it tends to demonstrate what we can only describe as a laudable degree of corporate obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to research and development, and it does so, often, without making any sort of fanfare about it at all. In this case we do know a little bit about the Oysterflex, however – it is basically designed to have the hypoallergenic and comfort properties of a rubber strap and the durability and shape-retention properties of a bracelet. 

At the core of the Oysterflex bracelet are metal inserts made of titanium and nickel, which are used to affix the bracelet to the clasp and watch case; over those is a sheathing of “high-performance black elastomer.” “Elastomer” is a portmanteau word, formed from “elastic” and “polymer” and is a general term for natural and synthetic rubbers. In addition to the materials complexity of the Oysterflex bracelet, it is also shaped in a rather unusual fashion – there are ridges molded into the the wristward face of the bracelet, which are intended to allow the bracelet when worn to better approximate the natural curvature of the wrist.

rolex yacht master 40mm oyster

They might look a bit odd but in practice, the design works out quite wonderfully; this is easily the most downright comfortable and organic-feeling rubber strap I have ever worn, and like the entire watch manages to be both extremely technical in feel, and very luxurious at the same time; I doubt whether any company has ever taken so much trouble over the design of a strap (for all that Rolex prefers the term “bracelet” in describing the Oysterflex, habit dies hard and you’ll probably find yourself calling it a strap, just as we did). On the wrist, the two stabilizing ridges do exactly what they are supposed to: keep the watch from shifting, as heavier watches on rubber straps are wont to do, without requiring you to have the strap uncomfortably tight. The Everose Oysterlock clasp does a superb job mechanically and also looks fabulous into the bargain; the quality of finish on the clasp and case may not seem terribly elaborate at first, but it is as technically flawless as anything I have ever seen at any price, on any watch.

rolex yacht master 40mm oyster

What we have here, in other words, is a very Rolex interpretation of luxury. Yes, this is a gold watch, and a gold Rolex, and wearing a gold Rolex always carries with it, shall we say, certain semiotic complexities. However there is also another side to the watch, and to the Rolex approach to luxury in general: the taking of such pains to produce technical perfection that technical perfection becomes a luxury in itself.

Rolesium Yacht-Master 116622

The Rolex Rolex Yacht-Master 116622

With its debut just two years ago at Baselworld 2016, the Yacht-Master ref. 116622 has quickly established itself as a coveted Rolex luxury watch. Part sporty part precious, this modern Rolesium Yacht-Master 40 plays up both sides beautifully. Let’s explore all the glorious details.

The Rolesium Yacht-Master 40

rolex-116622-yachtmaster-watch

Whereas Rolesor refers to Rolex combining steel and gold on a two-tone watch, Rolesium is when rugged stainless steel and ultra-precious platinum meet on a Rolex watch. The Rolex ref. 116622 is indeed a Rolesium Yacht-Master model where the 40mm Oyster case and sporty Oyster bracelet are crafted in stainless steel while the bezel is made from platinum.

Although steel and platinum are both white metals – thus lend a monochromatic look to the watch – the Yacht-Master offers great contrasting textures. From the opposing high-polished raised numerals on the bezel set against a sandblasted background to the polished center links on the bracelet flanked by the brushed-finish outer links, the Yacht-Master ref. 116622 is always interesting to look at.

Rolex_Yachtmaster_116622_Watch

In terms of dial options, there’s the dark rhodium dial accented with a turquoise seconds hand and the turquoise YACHT-MASTER text or the blue dial with red accents. There’s plenty of lume on the Rolesium Yacht-Master for ideal legibility in low light and of course, the signature date window at 3 o’clock along with the Cyclops magnification lens on the sapphire crystal.

The Yacht-Master’s Caliber 3135

Often dubbed as Rolex’s workhorse, the Caliber 3135 has been an important movement for the company since 1988. This particular automatic movement powers many of Rolex’s timepieces including the Rolesium Yacht-Master ref. 116622.

The rolex 3135 movement is one of Rolex's crowning acheivements

The Caliber 3135 provides a power reserve of around 48 hours and as of 2015—a year before the launch of the Yacht-Master ref. 116622—Rolex redefined their “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” designation to guarantee an impressive accuracy rating of -2/+2 seconds per day. The self-winding caliber also boasts the paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for improved resistance to magnetic fields and daily knocks.

Date Function

yachtmaster 116622

Naturally, as one of Rolex’s newer models, the Rolesium Yacht-Master 116622 includes the quickset date function where the date window is adjusted independently from the center timekeeping hands, in addition to the hacking feature where the seconds hands stops when the crown is pulled out for precise time-setting.

Ready For Marine Lifestyle

The Rolesium Yacht-Master 40 is equal parts sporty and refined

Finally, as its name suggests, the Yacht-Master 40 is perfectly suited for a marine lifestyle thanks in part to its 100-meter (330 feet) water resistance. To keep the water and dust out, there’s the Triplock screw-down winding crown and the fluted caseback.

A wonderful addition to the Rolex catalog, the   Rolesium Yacht-Master 40 is casually elegant, yet practical and durable. Just the thing to wear while sailing the seas.

Bottom Line

The Radisson Royal Hotel Moscow is a luxury chain property on the riverfront of the Moskva River. The Soviet Baroque building is one of Stalin's Seven Sisters skyscrapers, which define Moscow's skyline. Today, its interior features posh Regency-style decor in its 497 rooms and suites. Rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, but you'll have to upgrade for an iPad and espresso machine. Hotel highlights include a spa, stunning indoor lap pool, large gym, a selection of restaurants and bars, and cruises on the hotel’s private yachts. There's extra security for the safety of the high-end clientele of foreign dignitaries and business travelers that are usually hosted here. For something that’s within walking distance of the city center, consider the five-pearl Hotel Baltschug Kempinski Moscow which has both Old World splendor and a juice bar.

Oyster hotel review, luxurious hotel with soviet past and a high-end clientele.

Originally built as one of Stalin's Seven Sisters skyscrapers in 1953, the building was first home to Hotel Ukraine. The Soviet Baroque building (it takes up most of the block) looks almost like a castle, built in the wedding cake style with winding spires that are impressively lit up at night. Inside, the design and atmosphere is opulent and grand from the gold laden decor to the receptionists with old-fashioned uniforms topped with charming hats. Floors are made from Indian granite and columns were constructed from Italian marble. Paintings by Russian artists, such as Vasily Polenov, hang on the walls. 

This property attracts a top clientele of politicians, dignitaries, business travelers, and couples wanting a luxe stay. Their personal drivers and cars are parked right out front and ready on cue. With a demanding clientele comes high prices and strict security. Officers are stationed at the hotel's entrance to do a full security screening of every guest through a metal detector. Though the practice ensures top safety at the hotel, it can feel a bit intimidating and cold.  Despite the high-quality design and luxe atmosphere, there are some complaints about issues with checking in such as being placed in the incorrect rooms or chilly reception from staff. 

On the Moskva Riverfront, far from many of Moscow's attractions 

This waterfront hotel's location is for those who don’t mind taking public transportation or a car to visit Moscow's city center. Attractions like the Kremlin, Red Square, and Saint Basil’s Cathedral take about a 15-minute drive or a 17-minute bus ride to reach. The hotel is surrounded by parks, restaurants, and the picturesque Moskva River. Expect a 15-minute walk to a mall and the nearest metro stop. It’s a 35-minute drive to Sheremetyevo International Airport.

Sophisticated rooms with flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning; some have river views and iPads

The hotel has 497 rooms and suites, all of which offer an elegant Recency-style decor that features opulent colors of gold, cream, and soft blues. The overall look is luxurious with sumptuous carpet or wooden floors, high-quality fabrics, and substantial furniture. Guests have noted that Classic Rooms are unsatisfactorily small for their tastes. Though the rooms are on point when it comes to style, in-room amenities aren’t very impressive. Sure, they have flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, laptop-sized safes, and air-conditioning, but they lack minibars and coffee- and tea-making facilities. Deluxe Rooms and above, however, are equipped with espresso machines. Grand Executive Suites and Romantic Suites offer Bang & Olufsen entertainment centers, discounts to the on-site Farsi Restaurant, a Netbook or iPad, and a free cruise on a yacht. The Presidential Suite gets all of this, plus extra rooms and a kitchen. Unless you're a head of state or dignitary, you won't get access to the suite anyway. 

Bathrooms, like the rooms, are luxe. They come with Penhaligon's London toiletries, bottled water, hairdryers, bidets, and shower/tub combos. Some suites have jetted tubs and tropical rain showers. A few bathrooms have stunning river views and striped or floral wallpaper. 

For those with extended stays in Moscow, consider booking one of the hotel’s 38 serviced one- or two-bedroom apartments. They include their own separate entrance and are located on the higher floors for the best views of the city. 

Multiple dining outlets, a luxury spa, and private yachts 

The Radisson Royal Hotel Moscow’s features are really quite impressive. The standout amenity is the fleet of yachts that guests can book for river cruises along the Moskva River. There’s also a wellness center that offers beauty treatments, massages, and a large lap pool that’s complemented by two hot tubs. The gym is well-equipped with Technogym cardio and weight equipment, though it has limited hours.

As far as dining options go, there are five restaurants that range from Russian cuisine to Middle Eastern fare like Iranian food. The Tatler Club Restaurant offers beautiful river views during the meal. Each morning a huge breakfast buffet spread is laid out. It includes hot and cold Russian and Western selections, for a fee. Room service is available 24 hours. The hotel’s three bars offer something a little different at each. There's 24-hour service with food, high-rise views of Moscow, or karaoke with drinks. Tourists and locals alike visit the Troubadour Karaoke Bar which spans the top three floors and has a fun atmosphere. Business travelers will appreciate 14 fully-equipped meeting rooms that hold up to 1,000 guests, plus free Wi-Fi throughout. Parking is available for a fee. For guests who want to do a bit of shopping, the hotel features boutiques with high-end jewelry and fashion.
