The 116680 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
At 44mm, the Yacht-Master II 116680 wears with unmistakable presence. The Oystersteel case features polished and satin-finished surfaces that catch light at every angle. Its defining element is the blue Cerachrom bezel insert with raised polished numerals — virtually scratch-proof and resistant to UV fading.
The white lacquer dial presents large luminescent hour markers with a Mercedes-style hand set. A triangular red countdown indicator at 9 o’clock and the distinctive YM II logo add functional character. The three-link Oyster bracelet sits securely on the wrist, finished with an Oysterlock safety clasp. Explore more references in our Yacht-Master collection.
