Rolex has also long supported yachting, just like motorsports, golf, tennis, and equestrianism. The Swiss watch-making giant sponsors some of the sport’s top events, yacht clubs and awards. And now, our best fake Rolex and World Sailing have recently announced an even solid relationship.
Decades ago, Rolex has been a partner of World Sailing and according to Word Sailing, the new agreement means, “Rolex will support World Sailing’s vision and mission to grow and develop the sport at a grassroots level and cooperate with World Sailing on sustainability initiatives.”
As part of the partnership, Rolex will keep on sponsoring World Sailing’s Rolex World Sailor of the Year Awards, which, as its name implies, recognizes the best male and female sailors of the year. Together with their trophies, the winners also took home the nice Rolex Yacht-Master in stainless steel with a platinum bezel—no doubt furnished with a particular engraving on the case-back marking their achievements. There’s no better trophy than the one you can wear confidently on your wrist!
Apart from sponsoring yachting events, actually the replica Rolex creates nautical-inspired replica watches such as the Yacht-Master and the Yacht-Master II. While the Yacht-Master I is probably more for the casual boating enthusiast the Yacht-Master II was developed with the competitive sailor in mind.
The newer Yacht-Master II, featured by its vibrant blue ceramic bezel, is particularly noteworthy for boasting a regatta timer—a function created specifically for competitive sailors. The regatta timer can be used to countdown when the boat can cross the starting line during a race. The Yacht-Master II rolex has a fly-back regatta timer, which can be set anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes. Besides being one of the most sophisticated modern Rolex replica watches to date, the Yacht-Master II is also one of the larger ones thanks to its 42mm Oyster case. What’s more, launched in 2007, Yacht-Master II collection is one of the newer offerings from Rolex too.
It’ll be interesting to see what the new relationship between World Sailing and Rolex will bring to the sport. Besides, for Rolex enthusiasts, perhaps this means we can look forward to a few new Yacht-Master or Yacht-Master II models in 2018.
