The Yacht-Master 40, launched officially in the 1990s, carries Rolex’s unparalleled quality and craftsmanship heritage forward with a design that marries functionality and luxury. Although its concept dates back to the mid-1960s, the Yacht-Master took several decades of meticulous development before being introduced to the market, reflecting the brand’s dedication to producing a watch that would meet the demands of professional sailors and maritime enthusiasts.

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 presents a sporty yet refined aesthetic, highlighted by its bejewelled dial adorned with top-quality gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. This watch features a bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel, available in precious metals or with a high-tech Cerachrom ceramic insert. This bezel, with its raised polished numerals against a sand-blasted background, offers both functional utility for measuring elapsed time and a distinctive visual appeal. Consistent with Rolex’s commitment to exceptional legibility, the Yacht-Master 40 includes the Chromalight display. This feature employs broad hands and hour markers filled with a luminescent material, ensuring clear readability even in low-light conditions. Powering the watch is a self-winding in-house mechanical movement, known for its precision, reliability, and impressive power reserve of up to 70 hours.

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.
