Oysterflex
The Oysterflex bracelet was first introduced in 2015 on the Yacht-Master 37 and Yacht-Master 40 in 18 ct Everose gold. Its innovative design meets the specific requirements of sports watches.
Developed by Rolex and patented, it combines the robustness and reliability of a metal bracelet with the flexibility, comfort and aesthetics of an elastomer strap. It is made up of two flexible curved metal blades – one in each bracelet section – overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer.
Resistant to external aggressions, non-allergenic and highly durable, our Oysterflex bracelet is also equipped with cushions on its inner sides, for optimum comfort. On the Yacht-Master, it is equipped with the Oysterlock safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening.
Rolex Glidelock
The length of the bracelet may be adjusted via the Rolex Glidelock extension system. Developed by the brand and patented, this toothed mechanism is built into the clasp and allows for fine adjustment of the bracelet without tools.
The Rolex Glidelock on the Oysterflex bracelet has six notches of approximately 2.5 mm, allowing the bracelet length to be adjusted easily, up to some 15 mm.
Oyster Bracelet
The Rolesium and Everose Rolesor versions of the Yacht-Master 37 and Yacht-Master 40, as well as the Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium, are equipped with our Oyster bracelet.
Developed in the late 1930s, this metal bracelet remains the most universal in the Oyster Perpetual collection. With its rows of three-piece links, it combines comfort and robustness. On Everose Rolesor versions, the centre links are in precious metal and the outer links are in Oystersteel.
Easylink
The Yacht-Master’s Oyster bracelet is equipped with our Easylink rapid extension system integrated beneath the cover of the Oysterlock clasp. For instant comfort, the system allows the length of the bracelet to be easily adjusted by approximately 5 mm using an unfolding and folding link.

Calibres 3235 and 2236
Superlative performance

Calibre 3225
The Yacht-Master 40 and Yacht-Master 42 are equipped with calibre 3235. Entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, this self-winding mechanical movement is particularly precise and reliable.

Carrying a number of patents, our calibre 3235 is fitted with the Parachrom hairspring and the Chronergy escapement, both of which are resistant to strong magnetic fields. It also boasts Paraflex shock absorbers, which protect the oscillator from impact.

The Yacht-Master 40 and Yacht-Master 42 are certified Superlative Chronometers that offer excellent performance, particularly in terms of precision (-2/+2 seconds per day) and autonomy (approximately 70 hours).
Calibre 2236
The Yacht-Master 37 is driven by calibre 2236. Entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, this self-winding mechanical movement with date function provides superlative performance where precision, autonomy, user comfort and reliability are concerned.

Fitted with Paraflex shock absorbers and sporting a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, our calibre 2236 is equipped with the Syloxi hairspring in silicon. This patented hairspring offers great stability in the face of temperature variations as well as increased resistance to shocks and strong magnetic fields. Its specific geometry ensures the regularity of its movement in any position. Like all Rolex watches, the Yacht-Master 37 is certified as a Superlative Chronometer.
