Rolex makes a splash with its Yacht-Master II, which, with an innovative Ring Command bezel, is one of the most fun and easy-to-use regatta watches. Flaunting a full 18k yellow-gold body, this 2017 version is a solid 44mm timepiece with an unmistakable wrist presence.

It instantly harnesses attention with its unique dial, which stands out from the rest even with Rolex signatures aplenty. Speaking of signature details, the maison replaced the baton hands found in previous Yacht-Master II references with its popular Mercedes hands on this updated version. Additionally, the markers at 12 and six have been transformed into a more conspicuous triangle and rectangle, respectively. But what garners the most interest is the programmable countdown scale that uses a red arrow-tipped hand to measure the timing during the crucial starting sequence of the race.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
