THE IMPRESSION-MAKER

THOUGH THE ROLEX NAME is synonymous with technological functions, it can also be daringly playful.

Yacht-Master 40 

THOUGH THE ROLEX NAME is synonymous with technological functions, it can also be daringly playful.

This year, the watchmaker fitted its emblematic nautical watch with multi-colour sapphires, green tsavorites and a triangular diamond at 12 o’clock. Though still boasting an eyeopening waterproofness, precision and reliablity, the Yacht-Master 40’s complete makeover now sees a black gloss finish dial in 18ct Everose gold.

Powered by the calibre 3135, the timepiece offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

Cellini Moonphase

New to Rolex’s handsome Cellini collection is the 39mm version in 18ct Everose gold showing the lunar cycle. The white lacquer dial with a blue enamelled disc at 6 o’clock reveals the full moon and the new moon – the former depicted by a meterorite applique and the latter by a silver ring. Moonphase is told via the indicator at 12 o’lock on the subdial as the moons rotate through the lunar cycle; while a centre hand with a crescent moon at its tip sweeps across the date around the circumference of the dial.

A manifestation of Rolex’s elegance and grandeur, the watch is complemented with a brown alligator leather strap with a folding Crownclasp in 18ct Everose gold – a first for a Cellini model.
