Pre-Owned Rolex Yacht-Master Watches

Rumoured to be a replacement for the Submariner that was considered too dramatic a change right at the last minute, the Yacht-Master was designed to be a more elegant imagining of the classic diver's watch. The sculpted cases and sparkling dials are the perfect combination for a summer trip to the Mediterranean.

Rolex Yacht-Master Watches

Since its introduction in 1992, the Rolex Yacht-Master series has become one of the most iconic collections within the luxury sports watch genre. Its blend of timeless design and rich history has elevated the Yacht-Master series to a symbol of sophistication and elegance.

The name Yacht-Master was actually first used on a Rolex watch in the 1960s but this was confined to several prototype chronograph models that closely resembled a Daytona. The name was abandoned, only to resurface decades later on a completely different watch.

Since its release, the Rolex Yacht-Master has undergone several evolutions, each showcasing Rolex's unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence. From the early models adorned with 18k yellow gold and platinum to the latest advancements in materials and technology, the Rolex Yacht-Master continues to redefine luxury watchmaking.

The Rolex Yacht-Master’s close association with the sea and yachting gives it a unique charm. Built to withstand the rigours of the ocean, the Yacht-Master, is the perfect companion for professional sailors and seafaring enthusiasts, offering them a reliable tool watch without compromising on style. Indeed, the watch was conceived as a more luxurious alternative to the trusty Submariner.

The Yacht-Master is a masterpiece that stands out with its unique features and exceptional craftsmanship. One such feature is its graduated bidirectional rotatable bezel, crafted from ceramic, platinum or gold. It enables the wearer to measure elapsed time with ease when navigating the world’s oceans. This not only ensures accurate timekeeping but also adds a touch of elegance to the watch.

Available in three case sizes—37, 40 and 42mm—and in various precious metals from18k yellow, white and Everose gold, to Everose Rolesor and Rolesium versions, the Yacht-Master is unique in the world of Rolex professional watches. An elegant watch with a sporty character, it was the first Rolex to be paired with a rubber Oysterflex bracelet in 2015.

In 2023, Rolex unveiled a new Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium. This marked the first time Rolex produced a Yacht-Master in this lightweight corrosion-resistant metal, making it a notable addition to the collection. It was even trialled on hugely successful British sailor and helmsman Sir Ben Ainslie before its release to ensure it was up to scratch.

The Rolex Yacht-Master, a symbol of luxury and sophistication, is a favourite among many celebrities. Hollywood actors Bruce Willis and Mark Wahlberg are among many high-profile personalities who have been spotted wearing one.

At Watchfinder, we offer an extensive range of pre-owned Rolex Yacht-Master models to suit every taste. Discover the perfect Rolex Yacht-Master that mirrors your unique style and personality in our selection today.

Rolex Yacht-Master Marine character

Launched in 1992, the Yacht-Master was designed specifically for navigators and skippers. This Professional-category watch provides a perfect blend of functionality and nautical style, making it equally at home on and off the water.

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master embodies the privileged ties between Rolex and the world of sailing that stretch back to the 1950s. Specially designed to meet the needs of sailors, it is a technical, elegant and sporty watch that is above all a useful and reliable nautical instrument.

An immediately recognizable bezel

The Yacht-Master is easily recognizable for its bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel made entirely from precious metal (Everose gold or platinum) or fitted with a black Cerachrom insert in high-technology ceramic. The raised polished graduations and numerals stand out clearly against a matt background. This characteristic and functional bezel – which enables the wearer to read time intervals, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – plays a full part in creating the unique visual identity of the watch.

Exclusive materials

Robust, accurate and perfectly waterproof, the Yacht-Master is one of the only Rolex Professional watches offered in several diameters (37, 40 and 42 mm).

The Yacht-Master 37 and Yacht-Master 40 are available in a Rolesium version (combining Oystersteel and platinum, exclusive to the Yacht-Master range) and in an Everose Rolesor version (combining Oystersteel and Everose gold) with a bezel in precious metal and fitted with an Oyster bracelet. Both models are also offered in 18 ct Everose gold featuring a Cerachrom bezel insert in black ceramic and an Oysterflex bracelet.

The Yacht-Master 42 is available in 18 ct yellow or white gold with an Oysterflex bracelet and in RLX titanium – a particularly lightweight alloy with excellent corrosion-resistance properties and high mechanical strength – with an Oyster bracelet. This version, unveiled in 2023, stands out for its technical satin finish, a finish with a visible grain.

Perpetual calibres 2236 and 3235

Yacht-Master models are equipped with calibre 2236 (Yacht-Master 37) or calibre 3235 (Yacht-Master 40 and Yacht-Master 42), self-winding mechanical movements entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. They offer outstanding performance, particularly in terms of precision, power reserve, convenience and reliability. Both movements’ power reserve extends to approximately 70 hours.

Superlative Chronometer certification

Like all Rolex timepieces, the Yacht-Master is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification. This designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories, according to its own criteria. The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by a green seal and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.

Rolex Yacht-Master I – Maritime & sporty

Hoist the sails, don the Rolex Yacht-Master I, and let the regatta begin. This elegant watch attracts both men and women with style and the timeless design. It is the prized companion for both days on deck and nights on the harbour. At CHRONEXT, you can buy a wide range of Yacht-Master I models – for great prices and available for immediate delivery!

A sophisticated timepiece

The legendary Rolex Yacht-Master further strengthens the bond between the Swiss manufacturer and the world of sailing - a connection that has been going strong for decades.

Not only does Rolex sponsor numerous international regattas, the company has its own competition: the prestigious Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. Resisting wind and weather, the Yacht-Master I offers waterproofness up to 100 metres, ensuring that it is the perfect companion for yacht cruises.

But the predecessor of the larger Yacht-Master II is not only ideal for stormy weather - the watch also exudes a sense of elegance, delegating it as the perfect accessory for a relaxed evening at the yacht club. The Yacht-Master models that include a blue watch face bring forth the essence of the sea and sailing. The model is also available with a platinum dial, reflecting the elegance that characterizes the collection for both men and women alike.

The luxurious world of the Rolex Yacht-Master

The Rolex Yacht-Master (Ref. 16628) was presented in 1992 as a member of the Oyster Perpetual family. Its similarities to the classic Submariner are abundant, but the resemblance between the two models end when it comes to the price: initially, the Yacht-Master was exclusively produced with a gold case, which accounts for the higher costs.

Contrary to the Submariner’s adaption to adventures under the sea, the Rolex Yacht-Master (Ref. 116622), with its bright blue dial or mother-of-pearl watch face, is made for life on the water as well as on land. Its bi-directional rotatable bezel allows for exact timekeeping on the high seas. Only high-quality materials are used in the production of this elegant watch: 18 carat yellow gold or 950 platinum. Excellent quality is characteristic of the Yacht-Master: A scratch-proof sapphire crystal, a Cyclops lens, the uniquely innovative Oyster case, and the unrivalled Parachrom hairspring are just some of the outstanding features that make this Rolex watch a true masterpiece.

Sports and luxury - united in the Rolex Yacht-Master I

There is only one Oyster Professional watch that can be purchased in two sizes: the Rolex Yacht-Master. The 40mm model is equipped with the self-winding Rolex calibre 3135 while the smaller 35mm model offers the mechanical Rolex calibre 2235. The production and manufacturing of both calibres are conducted entirely by Rolex and the movements are certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).

Another technological feature of the Rolex Yacht-Master I is the blue Parachrom hairspring. Following years of research, Rolex introduced the blue Parachrom hairspring, which is finer than a human hair. Manufactured from a highly stable paramagnetic alloy, the Parachrom hairspring resists magnetic fields and is ten times less sensitive to shocks as compared to conventional oscillator hairsprings. All these innovative features are protected by a waterproof Oyster case whose name stems from the mollusc that can clamp its shell shut, unlike any other living creature. The Oyster case is screwed shut and can thus offer different degrees of water-resistance. The Oyster bracelet is an exceptionally robust innovation that combines elegance and function with a sensationally comfortable fit. Beginning its success story in the late 1930s, the flat metal bracelet with its three-piece links has become one of the most popular Rolex bracelets, thanks to a comfortable fit and unsurpassed durability.

Only the best materials for the Rolex Yacht-Master

After the development of the Rolex Yacht-Master prototype in the 1960s, the world eagerly awaited an additional 30 years for the introduction of the first Rolex Yacht-Master (Ref. 16628) in 1992. While the first model, manufactured from 18 carat gold with a white dial, measured 40 millimetres in diameter, the smaller Yacht-Master that launched in 1994 was available with a case diameter of 35 millimetres (68628), as well as a case measuring 29 millimetres (16622).

In the year 1999, Rolex amazed with a new, modern twist on the Yacht-Master by producing the watch in an extravagant mix of stainless steel and platinum. Since then, Rolex has coined the well-known term “Rolesium”, which stands for the combination of platinum and 904L steel. Six years following the presentation in 1999, another model of the Yacht-Master (Ref. 16623) hit the market: the new Rolex watch surprised with a Rolesor-case, famous for its combination of gold and stainless steel. Thus, the Yacht-Master collection of both used and new wristwatches offers an incredible choice of case sizes, materials, and dial colours, making the Yacht-Master a noteworthy and exceptional Rolex watch. Yacht-Masters are produced for both men and women as they brighten every wrist and exude elegant sophistication.

Luxurious and Exhilarating

The Rolex-Yacht master is a watch made for adventurers of the seven seas. Captivating knowledgeable explorers, experienced sailors, and festive yacht owners, the Rolex Yacht-Master collection offers wristwatches for every occasion and impresses with various different and outstanding watches for both men and women.

While men tend to favour bigger Yacht-Master models with a 40-millimeter case, women may prefer the model that measures a slightly smaller 35 millimeters. These models include the white dial Yacht-Master manufactured from stainless steel and platinum (Ref. 168622), and the gold watch dial fashioned from stainless steel and yellow gold (Ref. 168623)

The men’s watches from the Rolex Yacht-Master collection are equipped with a blue or white dial and their materials range from a combination of stainless steel and platinum (Ref. 116622) to a mix of stainless steel and yellow gold (Ref. 16623). The use of high-quality materials such as gold and platinum explain the higher prices for a Rolex Yacht-Master and allow for a sensible financial investment. For those looking for more reasonably priced watches, the purchase of a Yacht-Master on the second-hand market might be an appealing alternative.

An additional bonus is the fact that vintage watches, whose timelessness is undeniable, tend to reveal exciting stories about their past.

Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ultimate Buying Guide

If you could buy a Rolex watch for yourself, which would it be? We guess most people would have a long list. However, most people wouldn’t think to choose the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 – a hidden jewel in the Rolex professional line up in a 40mm stainless steel case.

To take you back in time, Rolex Yacht-Master (YM) was in development for a while. It’s regarded as one of the most demanding watches produced by Rolex and took several years to finish. Its concept was born as early as the mid-1960s, but it wasn’t until the 1990’s that the model was officially released to the market.

With its updated styling and re-engineered mechanical movements, the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is a unique watch that straddles style and luxury at a comparatively lower price. Below, we’ll discuss the Rolex Yacht-Master 40, and provide expert tips when buying the watch.

Rolex Yacht-Master 40: An Ultra-Modern Design

A line up of the Oyster Perpetual family, Rolex Yacht master 40 collection is a series of watches with a unique design built to withstand the elements. It was originally designed for diving enthusiasts but is refined enough to fit the daily wearer.

The Yacht-Master 40 was first introduced in the 90s. Since then, it has undergone several upgrades. One of the first products of the YM line is the ref. 16628 in 18k yellow gold. In 1999, amidst the Y2K bug, the brand introduced another line in caliber 3135 movement – the ref. 16622. Instead of an 18k yellow gold, the watch boasts stainless steel material with a platinum bezel. Back then, the watch model was touted as the “celebrity favorite” as Phil Collins, Bruce Willis, and other personalities were spotted wearing it.

Fast forward to 2012, the ref. 116622 was born. It still had the platinum dial but with some distinctive configuration, such as the shimmering effect and a glittering finish. Finally, the 126622 joined the Rolex catalog in 2019. The best thing about this watch is that it offers an Oysterflex bracelet option that allows for increased flexibility without sacrificing comfort or style.

With its evolution, the Rolex Yacht Master 40 is a stunning watch with an elegant and stylish design, perfect for any occasion. Above all, it has all of the features you would expect from a luxury watch brand like Rolex:

• The 40 mm Oyster case exemplifies solid craftsmanship and elegance.
• It comes with a sapphire crystal that protects its face from scratches.
• The model also features an automatic movement with a date display at 3 o’clock on the dial.
• The bezel is made of ceramic and titanium, which makes it incredibly strong and durable.
• Rolex Yacht-Master 40 watch comes with an Oyster Steel bracelet that is resistant to rust and corrosion.
• With a folding Oysterlock safety clasp, you can easily put on or remove it without worrying about it falling off.
• As the name implies, this watch is popular with yachtsmen because it has high water resistance and a rotating bezel.

Reasons To Buy a Rolex Yacht-Master 40

As a successful person, we know you’ll choose to grab a Rolex – specifically a YM 40 model due to its bolder look. Beyond that, there are several reasons to buy a YM 40 watch.

Signifies Status & Success

The Rolex Yacht Master 40 is a watch that says quite a bit about its wearer. Whenever you have it on your wrist, it simply shouts, “You’ve made it!” Created to stand the test of time, it represents the pinnacle of exquisite watchmaking. It’s an icon of success, power, and prestige.

No matter what you do or where you go, this watch will serve as a reminder of your accomplishments. You worked hard to get where you are. It’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor by treating yourself to one of the Yacht-Master 40 series.

Functionality

Rolex Yacht-Master 40 has always been the symbol of precision and excellent performance, thanks to its Chronograph movement. With its sleek lines, accurate timekeeping, and blistering performance, the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is a tool watch built to last. You can trust that it keeps up with your relentless pace. It’s no wonder that this beautifully-crafted timepiece has been a favorite of professionals, businessmen, and sailors for years.

Investment Potential

Due to the brand’s longstanding history and notable name, Rolex watches are currently worth a significant amount on the vintage market, making buying a used model or original model watch a sound investment. Also, due to their high price tag, they hold value whenever you want to resell them in the future.

What To Look For When Buying a Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Watch

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is essentially a luxury yacht on your wrist. It’s bold, powerful, and gives you the feeling of freedom. However, there are a few things that you need to know before you purchase this hefty piece. If you take the time to check out these few tips, it will make it much easier for you to get one of these watches and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with it.

Examine the Condition of the Watch

Like most things in life, the condition affects the value of a Rolex watch. It’s especially important if you’re looking to purchase a pre-owned Rolex Yacht-Master 40. Mostly, you’ll look for one in excellent condition and priced below the high end of reasonable. However, these watches are rare and are almost impossible to find.

Nevertheless, when you buy, thoroughly check the condition of the watch, such as:

• The bezel, crystal, or bracelet should be free from deep scratches.
• There should be no stains, marks, or corrosion on the dial and markers.
• The links in the bracelet should be snug and not loose or stretched out.

Additionally, watch boxes and maintenance documentation come with new YM 40 watches. However, if a pre-owned watch doesn’t have paperwork that comes with it, the only way to ensure authenticity is to be very knowledgeable about the model. In addition, reputable sources like Bob’s Watches offer at least a year’s warranty.

Be Alert on Spotting Fakes

Yacht-Master 40 (or Rolex watches, in general) are a good business due to their quality and price. That’s why many people get the opportunity to sell imitations to make money.

With that in mind, here are tips on what to look for when trying to spot the real deal:

• The watch’s weight speaks of the quality materials used to create it. Thus, if it’s a light one, it means they’re made of low-quality materials.
• The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is remarkable, so its second-hand movement is smooth and not choppy.
• It has a completely clear and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. A watch with a tinted or chipped crystal is probably fake.
• Genuine YM 40 watches are made of precious metals. They feature a variety of different styles, but they all have a silky-smooth finish to them. Fakes have a dull look.
• The luminous markers should be visible in the dark, and the dial should be free of scratches or imperfections.
• Ensure that the bezel is moving smoothly without catching or clicking.

Moreover, do your research and employ all the tactics you can to ensure you’re getting a genuine product. Any trace of imperfection that isn’t normal wear and tear should make you question the authenticity of the piece.

Shop from a Certified Seller

To save yourself from dealing with fake YM 40, always buy from a certified dealer. They are typically well-established businesses that have been selling fine timepieces for decades. They should be registered with their local government and have the proper tax paperwork available upon request.

A reputable watch dealer will have a professional staff, carry a large stock of new or pre-owned watches, have a warranty policy, and never be pushy or try to rush you into making a purchase. They should be familiar with the process and will keep you informed every step of the way. If you ever find yourself feeling uncomfortable or uncertain of the seller’s intentions, leave immediately.

How Much Does a Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Cost?

Rolex Yacht-Master 40 watches are a classic, timeless design that can be worn by anyone. While most people will say it’s pricey, you might be surprised to learn that they’re relatively affordable, especially compared to other Rolex watches. Depending on the model, age, and materials used, you can expect to pay between $5k and $50k for a new or used Rolex Yacht-Master 40.

Ulan-Ude (Russia): Why Go to the Capital of Buryatia?

• By Anastasiya
• September 1, 2018

How to get to Ulan-Ude? A drill to know if you travel by Russian trains

It may seem that getting to Ulan-Ude is not that difficult: you either fly into it or take one of many trains from Irkutsk . Yet, there is one drill a traveler who is not originally from Russia would not know: the train timetables all over Russia are Moscow time, whether they are in Siberia or Saint-Petersburg. We did not read the tickets attentively and came to the railway station at 8 pm; to be honest, we ran into the station since we were late. However, we could not see our train on the timetable and asked for help; this is how we learned that our train would depart in six hours only. It is written in the tickets with very small letters that the departure time is Moscow time.

Where to stay

In the end, we came to Ulan-Ude at 11 AM and tried to find the guesthouse we booked from Booking. However, it turned out that this was the apartment and we had to wait for the administrator to bring the key. We spent a lot of money calling the administrator and ran out of the Internet; when she finally came, it turned out that the price in booking was per person, although we booked a “double.” Since we did not have any internet left to book anything else, we had to take it. Make sure you read the reviews well: the majority of “guesthouses” in Ulan-Ude are apartments with quite unpredictable policies.

The center of Ulan-Ude

How to get to Ivolginsky Datsan

Ivolginsky Datsan

You only need 5 to 7 hours to see the center of Ulan-Ude and Ivolginsky Datsan, which is why the city is great as a hub and a short stop on the way from Irkutsk to Mongolia. It feels so much like the city in between these two: it is still next to Baikal and in many ways is similar to Olkhon and Arshan , but is much more Buddhist, like Mongolia . From Ulan-Ude, we departed to Kyakhta, the city at Mongolia border and then to Mongolia.

Buryatia Shore of Baikal Lake: Goryachinsk, Gremyachinsk, Svyatoy Nos

Even though there are probably as many destinations on the eastern shore of Baikal as there are on the western Irkutsk side, the density of tourist hotspots is much less, so it feels very relaxing, quiet and somewhat more authentic. You can find basic accommodation in one of the resort villages near the lake or just camp on the shore. It might also make sense to rent a car for the journey if you have have the intention to come back to Ulan-Ude. Otherwise, you can also go all the way up to Ust-Barguzin (read below about it), in the middle of the lake, and then take a boat to Olkhon island, stay there for some days and then go back to Irkutsk with a bus.  

Map, Location & How to Get There:

Stop #1: Gremyachinsk — Meet the Locals

Gremyachinsk is the first sight you will have of Baikal lake if you start your trip from the big Buryat capital Ulan Ude.

The ride to Gremyachinsk: To get to Gremyachinsk you’ll need to get a bus or for a more comfortable option, rent a jeep with a driver. The 3-hour ride through the high hills, forests and dust is hard and tiring. There’s a turn just before a long slope where it’s the tradition to throw coins through the window. It’s supposed to bring luck for the rest of the route. Many people do it, out of superstition.

What is it like: Gremyachinsk is the first village on the shore of the lake on the Buryat side, and is a calm peaceful place where cows, horses, pigs and goats grass freely next to the beach. The lake is like a sea, it can look calm  some days and seem like an ocean dechaine other days. Sometimes one can see the Island Olkhon from the village, but the weather is not always clear enough.

In fact Gremyachinsk is not as popular among Russians, but there was a whole French school coming there for Summer (accommodated by local people), and there's a rumor that Putin likes the Kotokel lake, which is 5 km away.

What to do in Gremyachinsk? It is very interesting to stay with a family for a few days, and taste the local way of life. • You can take a Russian bagna, practise Russian, live in a little wooden house, meet the hosts, taste specialities such as home made Varenik: jam, vodka and salted fish freshly fished. • Many men are fishermen and it’s possible to accompany them on a trip on the lake, in the day time or for a night fishing party. They fish Omul, an endemic specie. The fishing is regulated, but there are enough of Omuls to feed locals and summer visitors. • You can walk along the shore of the lake. • You can swim! And even drink the water. Locals say it’s pure. You can even swim very far, as the water there is warmer than at other places on the shore of Baikal .

Stop #3: Svyatoy Nos, Snake Bay, and Chevrkushinsky Bay — The End of The World

Have you read the book "Beach" or seen the movie with the same name starring Dicaprio? Not that it was exceptional, but I liked the feeling when the travelers arrived to an island far in the ocean, hoping to be alone there, and then found the community of people like them.

This is exactly what happened to us, when we went further from Goryachinsk to Ust-Barguzin and then to Svyatoy Nos Peninsula. We came there just because we heard that it's possible to hitchhike a boat from Svyatoy Nos to Olkhon (which is only 8 hours across the lake). It was a strenuous trip: 1 hour by the broken road along Baikal shore in a military van — and we are in Monakhovo — the first village on Svyatoy Nos peninsula. People there told us that no, you can't get to Olkhon from Monakhovo, but if you walk to Korbulik, which is just 5 km away, there are a lot of tourist boats stopping there, and you will be able to find something.

We came to Korbulik at 7 in the evening. It was a fishermen's village with only one shop that opens occasionally in the afternoon, and no roads further. So, it seemed like the end of the world. Surprisingly, we saw a tent just on the shore of the lake, and met two Austrian guys, who got there the same way as us: people told them they can get a boat to Olkhon from there. So, all of us (6 people by that time) started to think how we can get further. Local fisherment said we can go to Snake Bay, which is 30 minutes by boat away, and there certainly we will find a boat. It seemed like Snake Bay is a secluded place, and only a few tourist ships stop there a few times per week to show the Barguzinsky National Park to its passengers.

The next day, we tried to hitchhike a tourist boat that stopped for a few minutes in Korbulik to Olkhon Island, but at the last moment Swiss tourists refused to accept us. So, we hired fishermen's boat to the Snake Bay (30 mins, $10 for all), and arranged they will come back for us 3 days after. When we were approaching the Snake Bay we were really surprised to see a lot of tents on the shore. You can only get by boat to that place, and that's what local tourists do: they hire a boat, go there with their families, and enjoy life on the beach. We camped on the shore as well, met a lot of interesting people, and had great time. But, were unable to get a ship to Olkhon (everybody was refusing). So, we got on our fishermen boat that came for us, and went back to Monahovo (1 hour, $20). From there, we hired a van for $25, that took six of us to Ust-Barguzin, where we took a van to Ulan-Ude for $70.

Some practicalities: First of all, remember, that it's hardly possible to get a lift for free in this region. Russian drivers are spoiled, and they always want money for their services. Normally, it is about $20 per hour, and you'll need to pay more, if the driver knows you don't have other choice. The last place where local buses go is Ust-Barguzin, which is on the shore of Baikal. There are a few shops there, and if you cross a small river by ferry (it's just 50 meters wide), there is always a small market with fresh berries, nuts, fish, and cookies. Also, just as you are entering Ust-Barguzin, there's a great and cheap cafe on the road, where you can eat a nice dinner (open 24 hours). Ust-Barguzin is not interesting to stay in, so you should go further to Svyatoy Nos peninsula, which is a mecca for independent travelers (mostly Russians and Polish).

There is a weekly ferry to the opposite side of the lake - Olkhon island and then on to Irkutsk. You should check the latest schedule on  www.bit.ly/vsrpbaikal to know for sure when the boats depart exactly, but usually it's every Tuesday at 8.30 am (the trip to Olkhon takes 2 hours and costs about $60 one way, the whole ride to Irkutsk is about 12 hours and costs about $100). The boat comes from Olkhon to Ust-Barguzin on Monday evening at 20.30 so it might be more convenient to travel that way as you can then take a car and continue to Ulan-Ude.

It's better to hitchhike next to where the bus dropped you. Normally, a ride to Svyatoy Nos peninsula costs about $25 for a car, and it takes strenuous 1 hour. You will arrive to Monakhovo, that's where the road ends. In Monakhovo, there are a lot of Russian tourists camping on the shore, and a few tourist boat, proposing their services. A ride to Olkhon Island will cost you about $400 US and lasts around 8-10 hours. Needless to say, it is really expensive, and there's a little chance to bring the price down. So, you can hire a boat just to Snake Bay (which is 1 hour, and costs about $20-$30), alternatively, walk to Korbulik (it's a hard 2-hour walk), and get a fish boat to Snake Bay from there (30 mins, $10).

There's a shop in Korbulik that is opened occasionally in the afternoon, especially when tourist boats stop by. There are no shops in Monakhovo. Snake Bay is a wild place, but if you walk 1 hour to a small hotel on the lake, they have a cafe and a little shop there too. I really want to make the point that this place is not civilized at all, and some traces of people can be explained only with the weirdness of Russian life. So, if you are not sure about your ability to make all this by your own, you can still get a tour from a travel agency and observe these places from a boat.

Staying on course

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 40 in Oystersteel and Everose gold with an Oyster bracelet.

Bidirectional rotatable bezel, timing the distance.

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from precious metals or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-tech ceramic. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background.

This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

Intense black dial

Exceptional legibility.

Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 40 offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display.

The broad hands and hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.

Everose Rolesor

A meeting of two metals.

Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility. Steel reinforces strength and reliability. Together, they harmoniously combine the best of their properties.

A true Rolex signature, Rolesor has featured on Rolex models since the early 1930s, and was trademarked as a name in 1933. It is one of the prominent pillars of the Oyster collection.

The Oyster bracelet

Alchemy of form and function.

The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock folding clasp, which prevents accidental opening and the Easylink comfort extension link, also exclusive to Rolex.

This ingenious system allows the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance.
