Replica Rolex Yacht-Master m226659-0002 42mm

At 42mm, the Yacht-Master 226659 is the largest model in the collection and the only one paired with the Oysterflex bracelet — Rolex’s elastomer strap with a titanium-nickel alloy blade inside for flexibility and resilience. The white gold case paired with a matte black dial creates a monochromatic sports-luxury aesthetic quite different from the polished two-tone Yacht-Masters. It is a reference that prioritises modern sporty presence over traditional nautical polish.

The 226659 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet

The matte black dial carries applied white gold hour markers with luminescent fill and matching hands, creating a high-contrast monochrome look. A date aperture at three o’clock sits beneath the Cyclops magnification lens. The bidirectional rotatable bezel features a sand-blasted matt black Cerachrom insert with raised, polished numerals — a signature Yacht-Master design element that provides a three-dimensional surface texture.

The Oysterflex bracelet replaces a metal link bracelet with a rubber-like strap that is lightweight, waterproof, and comfortable against the skin. A cushion system inside the strap adapts to wrist shape. Find more Yacht-Master references in the Yacht-Master collection.
